During machining processes, a high temperature is generated in the cutting zone due to deformation of the material and friction of the chip along the surface of the tool. This high temperature has a detrimental effect on the cutting tool, and for thi...

The magnetic abrasive finishing process using the magnetic machining tool was proposed to finish the internal surface of the thick tube (the thickness of the tube is 5~30 mm). It has been proved that this process can improve the roundness while impro...

In this study, an accurate and computationally efficient model for the heating process of thin thermoplastic sheets during thermoforming is developed. This model opens the door to efficient training of model-free control approaches in thermoforming a...

Metal additive manufacturing has made substantial progress in the advanced manufacturing sector with competitive advantages for the efficient production of high-quality products [...]

Given its layer-based nature, additive manufacturing is known as a family of highly capable processes for fabricating complex 3D geometries designed by means of evolutionary topology optimization. However, the required support structures for the over...

Metal additive manufacturing has reached a level where products and components can be directly fabricated for applications requiring small batches and customized designs, from tinny body implants to long pedestrian bridges over rivers. Wire-fed direc...

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing has printed thermoplastic materials layer-by-layer to form three dimensional products whereby interlayer adhesion must be well controlled to obtain high mechanical performance and product integrity. This re...

Laser powder bed fusion, particularly the selective laser melting (SLM), is an additive manufacturing (AM) technology used to produce near-net-shaped engineering components for biomedical applications, especially in orthopaedics. Ti6Al4V is commonly...

To provide detachable, secure and long-term stable joints in fused-layer modelling (FLM) components or assemblies, metal threaded inserts are widely used as extrinsic interfaces. However, the load-bearing capacity of such inserts is influenced by the...

The strategic initiative aimed at building “digital metallurgy” implies the introduction of diagnostic monitoring systems to trace the technical condition of critical production units. This problem is relevant for rolling mills, which pro...
