The ball-end milling procedure is recognized as an efficient method for creating a Gaussian mitigation pit (GMP) to restore the optical transmission performance of functional KDP crystals by removing defects. Nevertheless, achieving smooth and flawless Gaussian curved microstructures is a massive challenge for soft-brittle KDP crystals. Herein, a judging criterion of the ductile-regime machining for the GMP is developed by the models of uncut chip thickness (UCT) and critical milling depth. Simultaneously, the obtained judging criterion can be validated by the microstructure fabrication experiments. Besides, considering the spindle vibration, plowing effect, and machined surface texture, the influence of spindle speed (<em>n</em>), feed rate (<em>f</em>), and tool mark interval (<em>d</em>) on the surface formation mechanism of the GMP is analyzed, respectively. It can be discovered that the <em>n</em> of up to 60,000 r/min can lead to severe velocity fluctuation of the motion system, increasing the UCT and causing brittle fractures on the KDP surface. A low <em>f</em> can result in an undesirable plowing phenomenon, and a large number of crystal materials are accumulated in the up-cut process. Once the <em>f</em> reaches 72 mm/min, the tool path would fluctuate significantly, resulting in poor GMP surface texture. When the <em>d</em> exceeds 15 μm, the surface quality of the GMP can no longer meet the engineering requirements of the <em>Ra</em> ≤ 50 nm. Moreover, the optimized processing parameters of the microstructure fabrication are 47,800 r/min in the <em>n</em>, 30 mm/min in the <em>f</em>, and 5 μm in the <em>d</em>. This study can provide crucial guidance for obtaining the ultra-smooth and defect-free GMP processed in the ductile regime, which would resultantly possess significant theoretical importance and practical value in enhancing the optical properties of flawed KDP crystals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16148,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Manufacturing Processes","volume":"131 ","pages":"Pages 1230-1239"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142423658","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 major sources of size-effects are pure volume source, surface-to-volume ratio, thickness-to-grain-size (t/d ratio), surface structure scalability, etc. In the micro-scale processes, studying the grain size of the material is crucial to understand the deformation behaviour. Additionally, the anisotropy is very prominent in thin foils and affects the micro-forming process adversely. In the present work, the intrinsic anisotropy of the foils is minimized through controlled heat treatment, and varying grain sizes, having different microstructures, are generated to investigate their effect on the formability of CP-Ti-Gr2 foils. Initially, the properties of the received material are tested along different directions through the uniaxial tensile test, followed by furnace annealing to produce equiaxed recrystallized grains and reduce the anisotropy of the foils. Subsequently, the specimens are heat-treated at different temperatures to generate a wide spectrum of grain sizes. Through extensive μISF experiments, it was established that higher annealing temperature and increase in grain size assisted in improving the ductility of the foils, leading to enhanced formability. Therefore, the combined effect of the grain size and step depth on the formability of the components is investigated. A relationship between formability and t/d ratio was established and its critical value was obtained. Interesting observations, contrary to those in macro-ISF process were observed, e.g. higher step depth in μISF helped in improving the formability of the micro-parts. The results were confirmed by measuring the forming forces during the process, and it presented a strong correlation with the yield stress values, further correlated with varying grain sizes of the foil. This work could pave the way for designing the μISF process parameters considering the size-effects at micro-scale deformation, through optimum t/d ratio, for maximizing the formability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16148,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Manufacturing Processes","volume":"131 ","pages":"Pages 1202-1218"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142423736","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}

This paper presents an algorithm, FS-Classifier, that can achieve high prediction accuracy based on a limited amount of labeled data. The FS-Classifier comprises two stages: Firstly, an unsupervised training approach named RaP is designed to pre-train the feature extractor using extensive unlabeled daily datasets. The RaP consists of a rotation angle prediction task and a position prediction task, which ensure that the network focuses on salient features and precise elements, respectively. Secondly, the support vectors constructed from limited labeled data are used for the feature classifier. The input data is classified to certain class by computing its distances to support vector. The model achieves an accuracy of 94.5 % on the private dataset and 92.8 % on the public dataset for the six classes of defects using 5 % of labeled data volume. In addition, comparative experiments show that our method only requires 5 % of labeled data to achieve accuracy comparable to traditional supervised learning methods.

Advances in bionics are gradually mitigating these challenges. Bionic design provides rich, reliable, and efficient prototypes that enhance tool performance while promoting environmentally friendly, harmonious, and sustainable tool development. In the bionic optimization of cutting tools, the selection of appropriate bionic prototypes and models is crucial. However, the complexity and ambiguity inherent in bionic prototype functions impede the development and widespread adoption of bionic tools. This paper initially focuses on the classification of bionic tools, subsequently proposing five categories of bio-inspired design elements and topological models from the perspective of bio-inspired cutting tools. The second section discusses the applications, advantages, and cutting performance of five types of bionic tools, with an emphasis on both the biomimetic optimization of the tool body and non-tool bodies. These tools are designed by emulating the diverse biological characteristics exhibited by various organisms. Additionally, the underlying mechanisms of the five categories of bionic tools, as well as the corresponding optimization strategies, are explored. Finally, this paper summarizes research on bionic tools and analyzes the current opportunities and challenges they face. In summary, compared to traditional tools, bionic tools demonstrate superior performance in energy efficiency, friction reduction, wear resistance, lubrication, extended service life, and multifunctionality.
