Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

From the perspectives of engineers, physicists, researchers, and scientists, we intend to analyze and discuss different modern topics of materials processing. The high potential of the enhancement of a material through processing (thermal or mechanical, forming; machining; joining; welding; laser processing; plasma processing; micro- and nano- processing) makes standard materials suitable for more applications. Actual activity in the domain presents a few problems connected to obtaining and processing metallic alloys, the modification of the surface state, and the characterization, modeling, and simulation of prototyping technologies. Based on the multiple possibilities of applying alloys with well-established production technologies by modifying their properties through various processing methods, this Special Issue is dedicated to showcasing the results obtained through various thermo-mechanical processes, specialized treatments, the sintering of materials obtained through 3D printing, or other processing processes implemented at the laboratory or industrial level.

This Special Issue of the Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing intends to focus on the most recent advances in obtaining and processing materials used in the industrial, automotive, chemical, or medical fields with improved performances.

Background: Compared to the conventional method of machining granite, abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) offers several benefits, including flexible cutting mechanisms and machine efficiency, among other possible advantages. The high-speed particles carried by water remove the materials, preventing heat damage and maintaining the granite’s structure. Methods: Three types of granite with different compressive strengths are investigated in terms of the effects of pump pressure (P), traverse speed (T), and abrasive mass flow (A) on the cutting depth. Results: The results of the study demonstrated that the coarse-grained granite negatively affected the penetration depth, while the fine-grained granite produced a higher cutting depth. The value of an optimal depth of penetration was also generated; for example, the optimum depth obtained for Black Galaxy Granite, M1 (32.27 mm), was achieved at P = 300 MPa, T = 100 mm/min, and A = 180.59 g/min. Conclusions: In terms of processing parameters, the maximum penetration depth can be achieved in granite with a higher compressive strength. Full article

Ni-Cr alloys are some of the most important materials being utilized in the manufacturing industry. Their unique properties make them attractive for various applications, especially in the aerospace and automobile industries. Since machining these materials is challenging due to their properties, it is necessary to understand their machining processes and how to improve them. As a result, time and again, effort has been made to understand and model the machining of Ni-Cr alloys. In this action, different approaches, i.e., neural networks, fuzzy systems, simulations, etc., have been of great help. At the same time, efforts have been made to optimize the machining processes to find how to obtain the best outputs from the processes. Different methods, such as multi-criteria decision-making, meta-heuristic algorithms, desirability functions, etc., have been utilized in this respect. This work aims to prepare an exhaustive review of the methods used for modeling and optimization of the machining of Ni-Cr alloys. It considers five major machining operations and collects data on how these methods or algorithms have been used to improve the machining and to what extent. The use of newer advanced algorithms in manufacturing processes is on the rise, and this manuscript aims to record the methods used, their effectiveness, and their shortcomings. It also provides an insight into the methods and their compatibility. Suggestions for future work are also discussed at the end of this study. Full article
