This process, known as cryogenic treatment (CrT), has received extensive research attention over the past five decades. CrT can be applied as either an autonomous process (for steels and non-ferrous alloys, tool materials, and finished products) or as an assisting process for conventional metalworking. Cryogenic impacts and conventional machining or static surface cold working (SCW) can also be performed simultaneously in hybrid processes. The static SCW, known as burnishing, is a widely used environmentally friendly finishing process that achieves high-quality surfaces of metal components. The present review is dedicated to the portion of the hybrid processes in which burnishing under cryogenic conditions is carried out from the viewpoint of surface engineering, namely, finishing–surface integrity (SI)–operational behavior. Analyzes and summaries of the effects of cryogenic-assisted (CrA) burnishing on SI and the operational behavior of the investigated materials are made, and perspectives for future research are proposed.","PeriodicalId":509264,"journal":{"name":"Machines","volume":"71 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141019209","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}

Malfunctions or breakdowns in the drafting components of spinning equipment can lead to yarn defects, thereby compromising the overall quality of the production line. Fault diagnosis of spinning equipment entails the examination of component defects through Wavelet Spectrogram Analysis (WSA). Conventional detection techniques heavily rely on manual experience and lack generality. To address this limitation, this current study leverages machine learning technology to formulate a semi-supervised anomaly detection approach employing a convolutional autoencoder. This method trains deep neural networks with normal data and employs the reconstruction mode of a convolutional autoencoder in conjunction with Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) to determine the optimal threshold for anomaly detection. This facilitates the differentiation between normal and abnormal operational modes without the necessity for extensive labeled fault data. Experimental results from two sets of industrial data validate the robustness of the proposed methodology. In comparison to conventional Autoencoder and prevalent machine learning techniques, the proposed approach demonstrates superior performance across evaluation metrics such as Accuracy, Recall, Area Under the Curve (AUC), and F1-score, thereby affirming the feasibility of the suggested model.","PeriodicalId":509264,"journal":{"name":"Machines","volume":"16 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141020548","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}

{"title":"Research on Predicting Welding Deformation in Automated Laser Welding Processes with an Enhanced DEWOA-BP Algorithm","authors":"Xuejian Zhang, Xiaobing Hu, Hang Li, Zheyuan Zhang, Haijun Chen, Hong Sun","doi":"10.3390/machines12050307","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/machines12050307","url":null,"abstract":"Welding stands as a critical focus for the intelligent and digital transformation of the machinery industry, with automated laser welding playing a pivotal role in the sector’s technological advancement. The management of welding deformation in such operations is fundamental, relying on advanced analysis and prediction methods. The endeavor to accurately analyze welding deformation in practical applications is compounded by the interplay of numerous variables, a pronounced coupling effect among these factors, and a reliance on expert intuition. Thus, effective deformation control in automated laser welding operations necessitates the gathering of pre-test laser welding data to develop a predictive approach that accurately reflects real-world conditions and is characterized by improved reliability and stability. To address the technological evolution in automated laser welding, a predictive model based on neural network technology is proposed to map the intricate relationship between process variables and the resulting deformation. At the heart of this approach is the formulation of a predictive model utilizing a back-propagation neural network (BP), with an emphasis on four essential welding parameters: speed, peak power, duty cycle, and defocusing amount. The model’s predictive accuracy is then honed through the application of the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) and the differential evolutionary (DE) algorithm. Finally, extensive testing in an automated laser welding experimental setup is conducted to validate the accuracy and reliability of the proposed prediction model. It is demonstrated through these experiments that the deformation prediction model, enhanced by the DEWOA-BP neural network, accurately forecasts the relationship between laser welding parameters and the induced deformation, maintaining a prediction error margin of ±0.1mm. The model is employed to fulfill the requirements for a pre-welding quality evaluation, thereby facilitating a more calculated and informed approach to welding operations. This method of intelligent prediction is not only crucial for the intelligent transformation of laser welding but also holds significant implications for traditional machining technologies such as milling, grinding, and spraying. It offers innovative ideas and methods that are pivotal for the industrial revolution and technological advancement of the traditional machining industry.","PeriodicalId":509264,"journal":{"name":"Machines","volume":"36 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141047349","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}

Tool wear monitoring and prediction are of significant importance in intelligent manufacturing. The cutting signal shows short-term randomness due to non-uniform materials in the workpiece, making it difficult to accurately monitor tool condition by relying on instantaneous signals. To reduce the impact of transient fluctuations, this paper proposes a novel network based on deep learning to monitor and predict tool wear. Firstly, a CNN model based on residual connection was designed to extract deep features from multi-sensor signals. After that, a temporal model based on an encoder and decoder was built for short-term monitoring and long-term prediction. It captured the instantaneous features and long-term trend features by mining the temporal dependence of the signals. In addition, an encoder and decoder-based temporal model is proposed for smoothing correction to improve the estimation accuracy of the temporal model. To validate the performance of the proposed model, the PHM dataset was used for wear monitoring and prediction and compared with other deep learning models. In addition, CFRP milling experiments were conducted to verify the stability and generalization of the model under different machining conditions. The experimental results show that the model outperformed other deep learning models in terms of MAE, MAPE, and RMSE.","PeriodicalId":509264,"journal":{"name":"Machines","volume":"62 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141031677","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}
