Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Advanced precision machining is a field that encompasses many technologies that have been applied as science has evolved. These developments enable the production of parts with increasing precision in a shorter time. It is based on the use of advanced computerized machine tools that achieve high tolerances and create complex geometric cuts with high repeatability and accuracy. High-precision machining is in great demand in aerospace, medical and automotive-components-making industries to avoid any premature failure during their service life. Nowadays, many advanced precision machining techniques have evolved to achieve the desired goal of manufacturing. Currently, ultra-precision machining is emerging as an advanced precision machining technique, which typically includes ultra-precision diamond turning, ultra-precision diamond milling, ultra-precision diamond scratching, ultra-precision grinding and ultra-precision polishing. This has been established as a very capable solution to the machinist to achieve nano-scale finishing with sub-micron tolerance. Moreover, micro-machining, laser-assisted machining, high-speed machining and hard turning also provide  high tolerance and superior surface quality.

In this Special Issue, we welcome articles that focus on advance precision machining techniques such as ultra-precision machining, micro-machining, laser-assisted machining, high-speed machining, hard machining, and any other novel machining techniques. Additionally, articles on surface roughness, surface integrity, machined surface characterization, advanced algorithms, simulations, adaptive control and machine learning techniques to enable precision machining are welcomed.

Additive manufacturing techniques are replacing conventional subtractive machining processes; however, the surface quality and defects have been a key roadblock to expanding AM’s uses. This paper describes experimental investigations in the high-speed dry machining and additive manufacturing (AM) of titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V), discussing the effect of machining and AM conditions on the surface characteristics due to the micro-deformation layer. Analysis of the machined surfaces shows the deposition of microparticles at a high cutting speed of 170 m/min at moderate feed rates. The predominant thermal softening effect at a high cutting speed causes restructuring of the micro-deformation layer. Thus, the machined surface shows fewer alterations and a correspondingly lower surface roughness. A high cutting speed also favors the induction of high residual stresses that are compressive. Shallow grooves are seen throughout the surface along the feed spacing with a higher depth of cut of 0.8 mm. An increase in the cutting speed from 170 m/min to 190 m/min leads to a 61% increase in the surface finish owing to a rise in machining temperature leading to thermal softening, and subsequent restructuring of the machined surface layer occurs. For the feed rate, the surface finish values decrease gradually as the feed rate increases, and the worst finish of 1.37 µm is attained at a feed rate of 0.875 mm/rev. This study also compares different AM processes for Ti6Al4V based on the defects and their effects on mechanical properties, such as tensile and fatigue strength. It was observed that the ultimate tensile strength and the yield strength were approximately 20% more in SLM and direct energy deposition as compared to electron beam melting. The mechanism of these effects is also explained by elaborating on the influence of grain size, phase, and other microstructural behaviors on the final mechanical properties of the produced part.
