However, current studies on the cutting performance of the cutter under various tool geometries are mainly conducted through experimental methods, and the removal mechanism of the surface fibers during milling has rarely been revealed. Therefore, an effective method to improve the geometry of the cutter is required to be proposed to suppress surface damage. In this paper, theoretical models considering multiple cutting actions of the cutter are established to calculate the deformation and fracture of surface fibers at various cutting conditions during CFRP milling. It is found that the fiber would be effectively removed with large cutting depths and axial forces directed to the inside of workpiece. Then, the cutting depths of the right- and left-hand helical cutting edges during milling are quantitatively compared, identifying the segmented left-hand helical cutting edge (SLHCE) to be more important in affecting surface damage. Subsequently, a novel arrangement of segmented cutting edges is proposed by designing overlapping part between adjacent SLHCEs in the circumferential direction, which increases the cutting depth of SLHCEs and helps to inhibit burrs. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed milling cutter in damage suppression is validated with experiments.

This method was used to study the spatial distribution characteristics and ejection behavior of the plasma during deep penetration laser welding process of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. The results indicated that within the laser power range of 1200–1500 W, the plasma temperature and electron density with the peak probability density exhibited the trend of firstly increasing and then decreasing along the axial direction of the plasma. Additionally, the ejection velocity with the peak probability density presented a tendency of increasing with the increasing laser power. Moreover, the relationship between the ejection velocity and maximum plasma temperature detected by the lower probe was analyzed in the view of the peak probability density. By quantitative statistical analysis, it was found that when the ejection velocity (or the maximum plasma temperature) had the peak probability density, the corresponding data points of the maximum plasma temperature (or the ejection velocity) mainly fell within one standard deviation. Finally, the linear regression model between the logarithms of the ejection velocity and plasma temperature variation rate detected by the lower probe was established for the ejection behavior analysis.

The braking effect of the high-dynamic locking-releasing action of the wire feeding allows the molten droplets to acquire additional stronger drive forces, including the inertial force induced by the sudden locking of the wire and the elastic potential energy induced by the bending of the wire, both of which facilitate the droplet transition. The results show that the indirect ‘energy storage’ effect of the high-dynamic locking-releasing wire on the droplets enabled a stable one-droplet-per-pulse (ODPP) spray transfer with a transition frequency of 60 Hz at low heat input. The dynamic transition mechanism of the above ODPP process was revealed by kinetic simulations of the droplet. In addition, a new non-stationary re-locking (NSRL) control strategy was introduced, which further empowered droplets with greater inertial force through the sharp braking effect, thus significantly increased the transition frequency of the molten droplets (~150 Hz). Further, by combining the above strategy with the growth characteristics of droplets under the specific pulsed currents, ODPP spray transfer with frequencies up to 190 Hz was achieved.

Traditionally, the buildup process is conducted in the direction of gravity or bottom to top in the vertical orientation; however, with the availability of commercial systems with additive heads or fixturing that can index from vertical, and the need to manufacture larger parts without modifying available systems, the limitation of manufacturing from bottom to top is removed enabling the buildup of larger components printed at an angle from vertical. The effect of gravity on the melt pool and as-deposited component quality when printing off vertical is unknown in literature, especially for axisymmetric components. This understanding is critical for the advancement of manufacturing components of increased size in 4 and 5-axis additive systems. This investigation utilizes blown powder directed energy deposition to evaluate the change in as-printed geometry when the start point is altered in relation to gravity while the part rotates to manufacture an axisymmetric component. The objectives of this work are to determine the impact of the deposition location on the geometric variability on axisymmetric components. This investigation tests the hypothesis that differences in layer height exist due to a change in catchment efficiency when the deposition location is moved to a tangent of the round geometry due to a change in the melt pool dynamics. It was found the ideal deposition location when printing at 26.6-degrees from vertical was at −90-degrees from the top center point of the component, along the tangent, where gravity was pushing the melt pool down, but the rotation of the part was pulling the deposited material towards the top center of the component. This work provides an understanding of layer height stability and catchment efficiency to guide print orientation strategy for high-aspect ratio components. It was found the −90-degree lead deposition had the best layer height stability at 0.6 % as compared to the top-center at 6.3 % and +90-degree deposition location at 9.2 % for the nominal programmed layer height. The change in layer height also effected the final diameter the greatest for the top center deposition location where the diameter diverged by 2.5 % during the overbuild condition and converged by 0.6 %.

However, the process faces challenges due to the melt pool instability, repeated rapid heating and cooling cycles, uneven heat distribution as layers accumulate, and slower production speed compared to traditional milling processes. These factors complicate the management of geometric accuracy, material properties, residual stress, and overall productivity, thereby limiting broader industrial adoption. A real-time closed-loop energy control system is imperative to improve the general quality of DED parts and to promote a wider application. This study proposes and demonstrates a productive energy fluence (PEF) controller that integrates feed rate and laser power adjustments to enhance geometric accuracy and productivity through optimized temperature management. In this hybrid system, a feed rate (FR)-based energy control strategy was initially activated to maintain the layer’s median temperature while enhancing productivity by increasing both the FR and powder flow rate (PFR). This approach leverages the inherent energy accumulation of DED process to enhance productivity by reducing energy fluence (EF) input while maintaining powder fluence (PF) input. Once the FR-based control reached its temperature management limit, the system automatically switched to laser power (LP)-based energy control strategy, dynamically adjusting the EF by regulating LP to stabilize the layer’s median temperature and geometric accuracy with minimal LP adjustment.

Recently, the weld penetration prediction based on molten pool images has shown great application potential in online weld monitoring. However, to accurately predict weld penetration is still a difficult task because of the high similarity of molten pool surface morphology under different weld penetration, especially during non-flat welding process of medium-thickness aluminum alloy plates.

Initially, the as-received IFHS steel sheet of 0.7 mm thickness has been deformed up to 2 % and 4 % strain in plane strain and biaxial condition through Marciniak test. Afterward, the miniature uniaxial, plane strain and biaxial specimens are fabricated from the bottom of the dome of the Marciniak test. The obtained samples are further deformed up to necking through miniature LDH test to generate the FLD. Thereafter, evolved microstructure has been investigated on the formed miniature samples at different strain levels and strain paths using electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The improved formability is noted due to the impact of pre-strain (both plane strain and biaxial pre-straining) on forming limit diagrams. The 2 % plane strain pre-straining increased uniaxial, plane strain, and biaxial responses by 17.12 %, 64.73 %, and 131.28 %, respectively, while 4 % resulted in 13.36 %, 49.02 %, and 64.94 %.

The microstructural analysis revealed that after 4 % pre-straining, the development of misorientations (KAM, GAM) and GOS is nearly negligible compared to 2 % pre-straining. At 2 % pre-strain, the development of dense dislocation structures and sub-grain boundaries caused more localized deformation and misorientation formation, explaining the higher levels of misorientation. However, as the strain increased to 4 %, the dislocations began to rearrange, forming a more stable structure, which reduced the overall misorientation and its distribution. XRD bulk texture analysis revealed that an increase in the fraction of copper orientation resulted in lower misorientation values, as observed in the near-neck region of the 2 % pre-strained specimen in comparison to that of neck-region. Another notable observation from the plot is that when the material was deformed from as-received condition to pre-straining the increase in Brass and Goss orientations led to higher misorientation under both uniaxial and biaxial strain conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16148,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Manufacturing Processes","volume":"141 ","pages":"Pages 1499-1521"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143681609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
