Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Advanced materials and manufacturing have become pivotal in revolutionizing product fabrication, with a primary focus on optimizing efficiency, precision, and the ability to produce complex, high-quality, and tailor-made components or products.

The influence of advanced materials and manufacturing is profoundly transforming a spectrum of emerging industries, each characterized by a commitment to pioneering solutions, operational efficiency, and the creation of exceptional, tailor-made products. Within these burgeoning sectors, the synergy of state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing methodologies is propelling innovation, facilitating the production of intricate, high-quality, and customized items. These advancements not only refine production processes but also expand the horizons of possibilities in these dynamic and promising fields.

This Special Issue focuses on various aspects of materials science related to advanced manufacturing processes and applications. Topics can include, but are not limited to, Additive Manufacturing (Metal 3D Printing, Bioprinting, and Multi-material Printing), Advanced Materials, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning, Nanomanufacturing, Smart Manufacturing, Sustainable Manufacturing, Precision Machining, and so on.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue. Research papers, reviews, and communications are welcome.

Titanium alloys have many excellent characteristics, and they are widely used in aerospace, biomedicine, and precision engineering. Meanwhile, titanium alloys are difficult to machine and passivate readily. Electrochemical grinding (ECG) is an ideal technology for the efficient–precise machining of titanium alloys. In the ECG process of titanium alloys, the common approach of applying high voltage and active electrolytes to achieve high efficiency of material removal will lead to serious stray corrosion, and the time utilized for the subsequent finishing will be extended greatly. Therefore, the application of ECG in the field of high efficiency and precision machining of titanium alloys is limited. In order to address the aforementioned issues, the present study proposed an efficient–precise continuous ECG (E-P-C-ECG) process for Ti–6Al–4V applying high-pulsed voltage with an optimized duty cycle and low DC voltage in the efficient ECG stage and precise ECG stage, respectively, without changing the grinding wheel. According to the result of the passivation properties tests, the ideal electrolyte was selected. Optimization of the process parameters was implemented experimentally to improve the processing efficiency and precision of ECG of Ti–6Al–4V. Utilizing the process advantages of the proposed process, a thin-walled structure of Ti–6Al–4V was obtained with high efficiency and precision. Compared to the conventional mechanical grinding process, the compressive residual stress of the machined surface and the processing time were reduced by 90.5% and 63.3% respectively, and both the surface roughness and tool wear were obviously improved.
