Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the demand for accurate machining and precise assembly of components in a way that makes it possible to locate and align them together in a much closer proximity has grown significantly. The demands put forward by recent innovations in the fields of nano-, micro-, and ultra-precision machining create a need for the development of novel methods for identification and correction of errors influencing machining, selection of optimal manufacturing parameters, and calibration and verification of machine tools. All of that is in order to push forward the machining capabilities, which in turn may bring very positive long-term effects, including reduction of friction in powertrain solutions leading to a decrease in emission of pollution, reduction of energy consumption, reduction of the amount of machining allowances, and reduction of time, costs, and energy expenditure for the purposes of mechanical processing.  

In this Special Issue of JMMP, we are looking for recent findings, which focus on accuracy improvements in machine tools and machining. We invite contributions on topics including but not limited to the following areas:

  • Identification and compensation of machine tool errors;
  • Selection of optimal machining parameters;
  • Metrology systems integrated in manufacturing tools and lines;
  • Optical metrology in manufacturing (vision-based measurement systems, fringe optics, laser triangulation, etc.);
  • Machine tool performance;
  • Calibration and verification of machine tools;
  • Artefacts for machine verification;
  • Uncertainty estimation;
  • System accuracy modeling.

Some manufacturing companies now use recycled aluminum alloys. It is important that they have the necessary data relating to the control of the machinability of these alloys. Thus, this study on the machinability in the turning of two recycled aluminum alloys by a 6061 R and 6061 R-T6 smelter was conducted. The aim of this study is to provide solutions to the problem posed, which is whether recycled aluminum alloys have good machinability skills, such as virgin aluminum alloys. To provide these solutions, the experimental designs were used to study the influence of cutting parameters and conditions (feed, cutting speed, lubrication) and material hardness on machinability characteristics (surface roughness, mass concentration of metal particles, and chip morphology). The results of this study show that the two alloys studied have good machinability. The feed, hardness and lubrication significantly influence the machinability of these two alloys. Predictive models to assess the machinability of these recycled alloys have been established. Full article
