One of the practical surfacing processes is a sputter deposition, in which the sputtered target material is deposited on the substrate surface. This method can be used not only for metals but also for insulators and plastics materials as substrate surface. In this study, the possibility of sputter deposition by using a large-area electron beam was discussed. If the target material deposits on the substrate surface simultaneously with the surface melting and resolidification of substrate material by large-area EB, the adhesion between the deposited film and the substrate surface would be strong. Alloy tool steel SKD11 was used as a substrate material, and pure metal tube made of nickel or titanium were used as a target material. Then, the substrate surface after EB irradiation was analyzed and the surface characteristics were investigated.","PeriodicalId":407646,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Machining","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122191948","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}

Sealing of facial defects with the multi-layered artificial skin causes perspired water from the surface of missing parts, which results in insanitary conditions to the skin surface. Therefore, the laser micro-drilling using nanosecond and picosecond pulsed laser was investigated to provide the breathability for multi-layered artificial skin without human eye’s recognition of drilled holes, which can satisfy both the breathability and aesthetic problems. The visibility of drilled hole was affected by the pitch distance of drilled holes, and its visibility decreased with increasing the pitch distance. A small color difference measured using a colorimeter led to the low visibility, and laser micro-drilling with small color difference is effective to obtain the breathable multi-layered artificial skin with low visibility of drilled holes, which can improve the breathability for the multi-layered artificial skin.","PeriodicalId":407646,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Machining","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126682386","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}

Typically, the machining conditions for SEDM and WEDM are very different. In this paper, to investigate the difference in the machining properties of SEDM and WEM, several experiments were carried out by varying the amount of Al2O3 added to the Si3N4 ceramics, and the size of the tool electrode. The material removal rate and the surface roughness were estimated for workpieces following EDM.

A smaller kerf width was achieved by controlling the time-delay between the laser pulses compared with synchronized laser pulses.

Therefore, the large-area EB of 60mm in diameter with almost uniform energy distribution can be used for instant melting and evaporating of metal surface. The previous studies clarified that the surface smoothing of metal mold made of steel, cemented carbide and ceramics could be performed efficiently. Also this method can be applied to the surface finishing of biomaterials, such as stainless steel and titanium alloy. In this method, the sharp edge is possibly rounded to about half hundred microns in radius under relatively high energy density conditions, since the material removal remarkably progresses there due to the electron concentration and heat accumulation at the edge. In this study, the possibility of micro-deburring was investigated by using the preferential edge removal effect in the large-area EB irradiation. Experimental results showed that the micro-deburring was possible by large-area EB irradiation, and the burr height decreased with increasing energy density of EB and number of irradiation. The burr of about 50μm in height generated in EDM process could be removed completely. Furthermore, micro-burrs at the edge of several small holes within the wide area of 60mm in diameter could be removed simultaneously.","PeriodicalId":407646,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Machining","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128966530","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}
