Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Precision manufacturing is an important direction in the development of the modern manufacturing industry. Precision manufacturing technology is an interdisciplinary research field, involving many disciplines, such as mechanical engineering, materials science, and computer science, to promote the continuous innovation and development of manufacturing technology. Precision manufacturing refers to the process of producing parts and components with extremely high precision using advanced technologies and processes. It is designed to produce products that meet strict specifications and tolerances and is commonly used in areas such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and electronics industries. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and research, precision manufacturing technology has made remarkable progress in improving product quality, production efficiency, and sustainable development. With the continuous emergence and application of new technologies, precision manufacturing will continue to provide strong impetus and support for the development of manufacturing.

We are therefore interested in articles that investigate precision manufacturing technology. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Micro- and nano-precision manufacturing;
  • Precision additive manufacturing;
  • Robot precision manufacturing;
  • Energy-field-assisted high-precision and efficient manufacturing;
  • Green precision manufacturing.

Ultra-precision machining has higher requirements for the performance of abrasive tools, but the traditional grinding wheel has some problems such as irregular grain arrangement, limited chip space, and high grinding temperature. Therefore, a structured grinding wheel suitable for ultra-precision machining is proposed. In this study, the laser cladding method and ultrasonic vibration technology were combined to study the preparation process of a structured grinding wheel. Firstly, the quality evaluation system of the printing layer was established, and the shape coefficient and dilution rate were used to evaluate the laser cladding quality. The effects of laser power, sweep speed, powder feeding speed, and ultrasonic power on the shape coefficient and dilution rate of the printing layer were analyzed by single-factor experiments. The level range of each factor in the orthogonal experiment was established to optimize the process parameters. The surface morphology was observed, and the influence of ultrasonic vibration on the morphology was analyzed. The structured grinding wheel was prepared according to the optimized parameters.
