However, excess slurry consumption is environmentally costly, as it generates a large amount of wastewater. Given the growing environmental concerns, it is essential to improve the process efficiency and minimize the environmental burdens. Considering this, a novel polishing system, herein referred to as center-injected polishing, is proposed by injecting slurry into the center of the polishing pad. Here, it is aimed to utilize the centrifugal force of the rotating pad, with the aim of efficient slurry utilization. The slurry is directly introduced between the pad and the workpiece, then dispersed across the pad by centrifugal force. A simple experiment was conducted with computational analysis using the specially designed polishing tool to prove the concept; slurry was distributed more uniformly in center-injected polishing when compared to the conventional process. The polishing system was then constructed to evaluate polishing performances. Based on sets of experiments in the polishing of silicon carbide (SiC), slurry efficiencies and productivity were analyzed with respect to different rotational speeds and slurry supply rates. The material removal rate (MRR) was more than twice the rate achieved by conventional polishing at the same processing conditions; whereas the slurry consumption was approximately 60% less at the same MRR. The extended Preston equation was used to predict the MRR of the new process. It is expected that efficient slurry utilization will reduce the environmental footprint of abrasive processes.</p>","PeriodicalId":14238,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Precision Engineering and Manufacturing-Green Technology","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140583728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This issue also extends to material extrusion (MEX) additive manufacturing (AM), which is a thermal process. Therefore, it is crucial to examine gas emissions during MEX AM. This study focused on super engineering plastics (SEPs) such as polyetheretherketone, polysulfone, and polyetherimide. A portable emission-measuring device was employed to analyze total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) and formaldehyde (HCHO) emitted during MEX AM at various nozzle temperatures. Additionally, the anisotropy of tensile strengths in the SEP specimens fabricated in the longitudinal and transverse deposition directions was evaluated. Overall, the SEPs emitted TVOCs and HCHO within the range from not detected (N/D) to 0.595 mg/m³ and from N/D to 0.139 mg/m³, respectively, based on the nozzle temperature during MEX AM. Moreover, the tensile strengths varied from 59.0 to 83.4 MPa in the longitudinal deposition direction and from 19.2 to 55.7 MPa in the transverse deposition direction. Lower nozzle temperatures not only resulted in reduced gas emissions but also led to lower tensile strength in all the SEPs. However, the strategic use of longitudinal deposition can mitigate the reduction in tensile strength. To demonstrate this, a case study involving the fabrication of a Warren truss bridge was presented. This study provides guidelines for the deposition strategy in MEX using SEPs under AM conditions, aiming to minimize gas emissions while maintaining a tensile strength ranging from 81.1% to 88.7% of the bulk specimen strength.</p>","PeriodicalId":14238,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Precision Engineering and Manufacturing-Green Technology","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140583829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it suffers from poor wear resistance, which limits its wide range of applications. A micron-size fish-scale film structure was designed on the DC53 steel surface and fabricated using crossover laser surface remelting processing to improve its tribological properties. Three kinds of DC53 surfaces, including the as-received, quenched, and fish-scale film structure, were used to evaluate the tribological properties. Specifically, tribological performance was evaluated using a reciprocating sliding tester. The unidirectional ball-on-disc method was employed to assess the wear of the mating surfaces under low-, medium-, and high-load conditions in terms of friction and wear tests. The friction coefficient and the wear rate were recorded to investigate the formation mechanism of tribo-layers. Experimental results demonstrated that the structure combined with microbulges on the DC53 surface had excellent load-bearing capabilities and wear resistance. Energy dispersive spectroscopy following wear tests showed pronounced material transfer from the structured surfaces, with SiO₂ particles filling up some groove voids. The reinforcing layer in the form of nanoscale SiO₂ particles exhibited enhanced performance at higher tribological loads. The synergistic effects of microbulges and SiO₂ films significantly improved the tribological properties of DC53 materials. In addition, the precipitation of SiO₂ contributed to the anti-wear performance of the tool steel surface, which is consistent with the self-lubricating wear mechanism of the worn surface. The laser surface remelting technique enables the fabrication of a micro fish-scale film structure, which has great potential for enhancing the wear resistance and applications of DC53 materials in various fields.</p>","PeriodicalId":14238,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Precision Engineering and Manufacturing-Green Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140316353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tests were carried out for DX51D steel sheets with a thickness of 1.5 [mm] joined by using three different sets of tools. A steel rivet with a hardness of 400HV1 and various shapes was used for the tests. In addition to the full rivet, two types of rivet were used, the first with a through hole and the second with a depth of hole of 3 [mm]. The holes in the rivet had different diameters: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 [mm]. The influence of changing the shape of the rivet (hole and its diameter) on the change in forming force and energy consumption of the joining process was analyzed. The lowest forming force was achieved for a rivet with a through hole and a hole diameter of 2.5 [mm]. The lowest joint forming force was obtained for the die with movable segments. For joints made with three tool arrangements and a series with a modified rivet, the amount of sheet metal deviation was analyzed. Of the three cases of arrangement of tools used to form the joint, the largest deviation of the sheets occurred at the clinch joint formed with a solid round die. In the case of a series of clinch-rivet joints with a modified rivet, the greatest deviation of the sheets occurred for the rivet with a hole of 1.5 [mm]. Changes in the geometric structure of the joint were also studied, and changes in the surface of the sheets in the joint area were observed. The highest value of the interlock in the joint was obtained when a solid rivet was used in the clinch-riveting technology. The strength of the joints was also identified in the lap shear test and the energy consumption at failure was determined. The use of a rivet increased the maximum load capacity to almost twice that of the clinch joint.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":14238,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Precision Engineering and Manufacturing-Green Technology","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140302015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has led to a digital transformation in the insole manufacturing process to achieve mass customization. This includes subtractive manufacturing and additive manufacturing. However, the environmental and social impacts of these processes have not been thoroughly assessed. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance of existing digital processes compared to TP (traditional processes) and identify factors conducive to achieving both mass customization and sustainability. The results indicate that while NC (Numerical Control process) and 3DP (3D printing processes) benefit from digitization by reducing processing time (NC: 69%, 3DP: 38% of the labor hour needed for TP as 100%) and increasing the reliability of process, but NC is limited by energy consumption (TP: 0.39, NC: 0.9, 3DP: 0.32kWh) and manual grinding techniques. In the other hand, traditional process generates the most waste (Waste Weight Percentage: TP: 94.36%, CNC: 87.15%, 3DP) and requires the most processing space. The FFF (fused filament fabrication) type 3DP drastically shortens labor hour and technical barriers, providing an opportunity to change the service model of customized insoles from at least two visits to potentially just one. This makes the 3DP has the best chance to achieve the need of mass customization and the goal of ESG during the digital transformation. Not only the ESG goals but also the metamaterial ability to bring a better function to the insoles. In the future, by the introducing smart material into 4D printing, which can adapt to variable factors and change their structural characteristics, has the potential to enable a single pair of insoles to meet various usage scenarios. Moreover, the concept of 4D printing combined with sensors can elevate the application of insoles from medical usage for preventing or treating illness to daily usage forpredicting illness.
