This study investigates the drilling behavior of CFRP/Ti thin stacks under various stiffness conditions and reveals the impact of stiffness variation. Various quantified stiffness conditions were set for drilling tests and analysis. The results indicate that when the drill bit fully penetrates CFRP and still cuts Ti, an interlayer gap will be formed between CFRP and Ti layers, and lower stiffness will enlarge the interlayer gap. The maximum thrust force was found to decrease linearly by 3–4 % with every 70 % increase in clamping length, even though the thrust force increased over a longer period in low-stiffness cases. Ti cutting chips were consistently extruded into the interlayer in low stiffness cases, which consequently caused scratching and damaged the interlayer surface. In addition, the extruded chips lead to a reverse deformation of CFRP, which enlarges the gap and further aggregates chip extrusion and interlayer damage. Meanwhile, three additional CFRP removal phenomena caused by deformation and Ti chip scratching were observed, chip scratching was the most serious, and the mechanism of hole-shape formation was revealed. Compared to the CFRP hole, the shape of the Ti hole was barely affected by its deformation, but its position error was enlarged due to in-suit changing deformation and the position-based cylindricity errors of the stacks were also affected. More importantly, the beginning of Ti chip extrusion was proposed as a critical condition for low-stiffness stack drilling when the gap exceeds the Ti chip curl height, which has been proved by integrated simulation and experiment analyses. This critical condition and its correlated clamping distribution could be adopted as free interlayer damage drilling instruction for low stiffness CFRP/Ti stack.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16148,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Manufacturing Processes","volume":"141 ","pages":"Pages 627-637"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143578255","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}

To fill this knowledge gap, a study involving both numerical analyses and experiments was undertaken. The study used a test based on rotary compression of a cylindrical specimen; the test is used for material damage function calibration. Rotary compression was performed under cold forming conditions for aluminium alloy Al99.7 and under hot forming conditions for steel C45. Based on results of the rotary compression test for aluminium, a new method was developed for determining the critical value of damage using cylindrical specimens with initiated fracture. Following the establishment of the critical damage value for alloy Al99.7, the rotary compression process was simulated numerically, which consisted of 3D modelling the axial crack propagation caused by the Mannesmann effect. In addition to that, the effect of the formed crack on the state of stress in the workpiece was determined. After that, the critical damage of steel C45 in the temperature range 950 °C–1100 °C was determined. The obtained critical damage value was validated by simulating material fracture in a cross wedge rolling process that was earlier conducted under laboratory conditions.

The residual stress state and the surface quality of the tubes are crucial to their service performance. However, these tubes are primarily prepared through a cold pilgering process, and the finished tube exhibits significant residual tensile stress on the outer surface, which cannot be changed with the variation of the process parameters. Moreover, the conventional shot peening process can only achieve the outer surface treatment while causing surface roughening, thereby reducing the fatigue strength and stress corrosion resistance. Accordingly, this study aims to achieve the synchronous tailoring of the residual stress and surface quality of high-strength titanium alloy tubes by introducing magnetic field-assisted finishing (MAF) technology, as well as to investigate the residual stress evolution mechanisms during the MAF process. The effects of MAF parameters on the residual stress and surface quality of the tubes are revealed firstly. With the increase in magnetic needle diameter and disk rotational speed, the residual compressive stresses exhibit a gradually increasing trend on the inner and outer surfaces of the tubes, with the maximum residual compressive stress reaching −600 MPa. While the surface roughness of the inner and outer surfaces of the tubes firstly decreases and then increases, with the lowest Ra values of 0.24 μm and 0.52 μm for the outer and inner surfaces, respectively. Secondly, the residual stress evolution mechanisms during the MAF process are elucidated. During the MAF process, significant plastic deformation occurs in the region near the surface of the tube with a depth of approximately 90 to 100 μm. The dislocation densities along the wall thickness direction show gradient distribution characteristics, with a gradual decrease trend from the surface to the middle layer. The increase in the difference in dislocation density between the area near the surface and the middle layer results in the distribution characteristics of residual compressive stress on the surface of the tubes after MAF. It can be concluded that MAF can effectively tailor the residual stress on the outer and inner surfaces of high-strength titanium tubes by adjusting the magnetic needle diameter and disk rotational speed, without reducing the surface quality of the tubes, and is of great significance for improving the fatigue service performance of the tubes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16148,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Manufacturing Processes","volume":"141 ","pages":"Pages 638-649"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143577757","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}

The results indicated that high-amplitude ultrasound produced a superior grain refinement effect. However, this method also introduced numerous microscopic defects in the weld, compromising the mechanical properties. In contrast, low-frequency pulse welding exhibited less effective grain refinement than ultrasonic assistance without microscopic defects. The optimal grain refinement was achieved when low-amplitude ultrasound was combined with the high-difference pulse welding process, resulting in the best grain refinement effect. The weld grain morphology primarily consisted of refined equiaxed grains, with an average size reduction of 82 % (18.8 μm). The coarse second phase near the grain boundary was the Al-Cu-Mg-Ag eutectic phase. T1 and σ phases, along with dislocation lines, were prevalent in the grains. Compared to conventional welds, the tensile and yield strengths improved. However, the presence of some microcracks led to a reduction in elongation. The cavitation and acoustic streaming effects induced by ultrasonic assistance facilitated liquid convection and oscillation, resulting in more uniform second phases and disrupting coarse dendritic structures. Furthermore, the chilling effect of the pulse current promoted grain nucleation and accelerated molten pool flow, compensating for the limited grain refinement effect associated with low-amplitude ultrasound.
