This paper presents theoretical and experimental investigations on the workpiece material effect on single cutting profile in UPRM. Experiments are conducted to study the material effect on cutting profile by single cutting four materials including copper, aluminium alloy 6061, brass and aluminium bronze under the same cutting conditions in UPRM. A characterisation method is presented in the paper to study the effect of different workpiece material on the cutting profiles in UPRM. The experimental results show that copper alloy makes the smallest effect on the single cutting profile because of the lowest elastic recovery ratio while the material effect of aluminium bronze is the highest due to the highest elastic recovery ratio and the highest hardness.","PeriodicalId":14170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanomanufacturing","volume":"14 1","pages":"77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJNM.2018.089181","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49628034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The strain rate of the grinding process was obtained by choosing the contact zone length as the impact contact length, which was the evaluation Index of impact. The relationships between strain rate and the depth of radial crack, strain rate and the depth of transverse crack, strain rate and normal scratching force were first analysed. The results showed that the depth of radial of crack, the depth of transversal crack and the normal scratching force decreased with the increase of strain rate. The two-layer BP neural network was established, which took the strain rate as input variables. The depth of radial crack, the depth of transversal crack and normal scratching force were predicted and the errors were within 10%, which indicated that the prediction results of BP neural network were reliable.","PeriodicalId":14170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanomanufacturing","volume":"14 1","pages":"89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42253539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the interactions between motion, electrochemical reaction and substrate deformation were analysed using multi-physics coupling finite element simulations. Statistical model shows that sample surface roughness decreases with the decreases of working distance (between the electrode and the substrate) and feeding velocity, and indicates it still has potential to reach more smooth results.","PeriodicalId":14170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanomanufacturing","volume":"14 1","pages":"51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48387281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To promote widespread use of the structured surfaces, manufacturing technology of structured surfaces for ultra-precision dies and moulds made of hardened steel is absolutely essential. Conventional diamond cutting is not applicable to machining of steel due to rapid tool wear and surface deterioration. On the other hand, elliptical vibration cutting (EVC) equipped with the ultra-precision amplitude control sculpturing method is considered as a potential candidate for the functional surface fabrication on steel materials. In this method, tool geometry, especially the clearance angle, imposes a limit on the machinable part geometry due to the flank face contact to the target shape in the downhill machining. In order to clarify the influence of flank face contact on the machining accuracy and the tool wear, a series of theoretical and experimental investigations are conducted in this paper. A surface with micro sine-sweep profile is fabricated on hardened steel by applying the proposed amplitude control sculpturing method. It verified that the interference between flank face and fabricated structure causes not only the serious machining accuracy deterioration but also the serious tool damage due to the enhancing of ploughing process.","PeriodicalId":14170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanomanufacturing","volume":"13 1","pages":"351"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42749943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on minimum error assumption, transition matrix is obtained from machine tool coordinate system to the cutting tool coordinate system and changing rule of comprehensive error in different position and direction is gained in two-axis motion worktable. Laser interferometer is used to measure the geometric error of polishing platform, it is found that different feed rate and measured spacing had no significant effect on the positioning error of moving axis and positioning error rather than the straightness and angle error has more significant influence on the accuracy of machine tool.

We developed an automatic alignment method for the electron gun. The primary electrons are scanned under the anode hole for secondary electron image acquisition. However, when the primary electrons are scanned from the upper anode hole, secondary electrons on the specimen as big as the size of the anode hole are generated. The alignment of the cathode and anode centres is determined from the image's brightness and position on the screen; if the image is very bright, the alignment is normal. We employ pattern recognition to analyse images to achieve automatic alignment of the electron gun.
