More importantly, the correlation between the interface microstructure and the quasi-static and fatigue fracture behaviors of the UaRSW joints was elucidated by comparing them with the corresponding conventional resistance spot welding (RSW) joints. Ultrasonic vibrations can enhance heat transfer to form thinner, wavy intermetallic compound (IMC) layers. Moreover, the oxide film on the surface of AA6061 fragmented under ultrasonic action and was distributed in the heat-affected zone (HAZ). Compared to RSW joints, UaRSW joints had a significantly higher tensile shear strength and energy absorption capacity, as well as much higher fatigue limits of 45 %. The transition from interfacial failure to button pullout was attributed to the UaRSW-induced wavy IMC layers, which inhibited crack propagation along the interface.

To address the vibration issues in deep hole machining, this study proposes a bionic damping boring bar inspired by the woodpecker’s shock-absorbing head. The study first analyzes the structure of the woodpecker's head and establishes nonlinear vibration equation, which is solved using the Harmonic Balance Method (HBM). A preliminary bionic design of the boring bar was then proposed, consisting of two main structures: constrained-layer damping (CLD) shaft and bionic absorber. A three-stage biomimetic damping system was developed using metal, particulate materials, damping materials, and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). A dynamic model of the boring bar is established to analyze the effect of structural parameters on amplitude response. Subsequently, particle swarm optimization (PSO) and orthogonal experiments are used to optimize the tool body and the bionic absorber. Finally, modal and cutting experiments are conducted, comparing the bionic damping boring bar with carbide boring bars. The results show that the bionic damping boring bar improves modal parameters and cutting stability. Compared to carbide boring bars, it has a 20 % higher natural frequency, 5 times higher damping ratio, and 1.7 times higher stiffness.

AZ31/PEEK joints were evaluated through detailed microstructural analysis (SEM with EDS), electrochemical corrosion testing (including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization), and mechanical performance assessment via pull-out and tensile shear testing. The results show that FSpJ joints exhibited a substantially more positive self-corrosion potential and an ∼81 % reduction in corrosion current density compared to SPR joints during early immersion. Furthermore, FSpJ joints demonstrated superior corrosion resistance with a 10-fold higher charge transfer resistance (1.33 × 10² Ω·cm²) and a 57.8 % increase in initial tensile shear strength (4.13 × 10 ³ N) relative to SPR joints.

Following their primary manufacturing phase, these components are typically wound into coils to streamline logistics and storage, necessitating a subsequent straightening phase prior to additional processing operations like bending, cutting, or expanding. The standard straightening technique involves passing the workpiece through multiple arrays of intentionally misaligned and skewed rollers. The axial displacement is conventionally measured using a downstream-mounted contact encoder. However, this approach frequently induces unintended torsional deformation, causing combined translation and rotation movements of the cross section. Precisely quantifying this rotational displacement is still challenging, and uncontrolled torsion can adversely impact the precision and quality of subsequent production stages. In response to these issues, this research introduces an innovative integrated in-process control methodology employing a VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) optical sensor. This advanced non-contact sensing technology enables simultaneous real-time monitoring of both axial displacement and rotational torsion, capturing component displacement data across two orthogonal axes at high sampling rates. Nonetheless, measurement accuracy is contingent upon multiple parameters, including the metallurgical characteristics of the component, measurement distance, sensor alignment accuracy, and the component’s transit speed. This study aims at identifying principal sources of measurement inaccuracies and proposes a targeted correction algorithm. Furthermore, alongside methodologies for robust calculation of both axial feed and rotational torsion are elaborated. Experimental validation through a representative case study confirms the system's efficacy, demonstrating reliable detection and control capabilities for torsional deviations below 1 deg over a 300 mm measurement span.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56011,"journal":{"name":"CIRP Journal of Manufacturing Science and Technology","volume":"61 ","pages":"Pages 268-276"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144471074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similar to the well-established subtractive manufacturing methods, the majority of the trajectory planning algorithms developed for FFF, prioritize print time and dimensional accuracy. However, the effect of trajectory planning on the strength of parts produced through FFF has not received adequate attention.
