Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Repairing remanufacturing is the industrialization of high-tech maintenance to the waste productions and getting growing attention in recent years. Its aim is to renew the original size of the waste components rapidly, and simultaneously improve their service performance. Consistent with the sustainable development strategy, repairing remanufacturing is a kind of green technology with superior quality, high efficiency, energy and materials saving. Advanced surface engineering and other forming technologies are the critical elements for remanufacturing engineering. Currently the surface technologies, such as thermal spraying, electric-brush plating, and electro-spark deposition, are widely employed for the local repair of components. Other additive manufacturing methods based on the arc, plasma, and laser high density heat source, such as wire arc additive manufacture, micro-arc plasma forming technology and laser cladding, are also developed and play an increasingly important role.

This Special Issue of Materials will publish original experimental and theoretical work related to application of advanced additive manufacturing and surface engineering technologies for green remanufacturing.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

Good heat dissipation performance of aero-engine an effectively improve the service performance and service life of aero-engine. Therefore, this paper studies the machining method of cooling holes of high-temperature existent material GH 4169 for aero-engine innovatively puts forward the mask electrochemical machining method of cooling holes and explores the entrance morphology and taper formation law of the hole structure of high-temperature resistant material GH 4169. The mathematical model of anode dissolution of cooling holes in ECM is established, and the influence of voltage and electrolyte flow rate on cooling holes in ECM is analyzed. Compared with the mask-less electrochemical machining, the inlet radius of cooling holes in mask electrochemical machining is reduced by about 16.0% and the taper is reduced by 52.8% under the same machining parameters, which indicates that the electrochemical machining efficiency of mask is higher and the machining accuracy is better. Experiments show that the diameter of the mask structure improves the accuracy of the inlet profile of the cooling hole in the ECM. The diameter of the mask increases from 2 mm to 2.8 mm, and the inlet radius of the cooling hole increased from 1.257 mm to 1.451 mm When the diameter of the mask is 2.2 mm, the taper of the cooling hole decreased by 53.4%. The improvement effect is best, and the thickness of the mask has little influence on the forming accuracy of the cooling hole. Full article

In order to improve the wear resistance of CoCrNi alloy, TiC was introduced into the alloy and wear-resistant CoCrNi/(TiC)x composites were designed. The effects of TiC contents on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and wear resistance of CoCrNi matrix were investigated, respectively. It was found that the TiC produced dissolution and precipitation process in CoCrNi alloy, and a large number of needled and blocky TiC particles were precipitated in the composites. The compressive yield strength of CoCrNi/(TiC)x composites increased with the increasing TiC content. Compared with the CoCrNi alloy, the yield strength of CoCrNi/(TiC)x composites increased from 108 to 1371 MPa, and the corresponding strengthening mechanism contributed to the second phase strengthening. The wear resistance of CoCrNi/(TiC)x composites was also greatly improved due to the strengthening of TiC. Compared with the CoCrNi alloy, the specific wear rate of CoCrNi/(TiC)1.0 alloy was reduced by about 77%. The wear resistance of CoCrNi/(TiC)x composites was enhanced with the increasing content of TiC addition. Full article

High-temperature resistant high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted extensive attention due to their excellent thermodynamic stability and mechanical properties, especially at high temperatures. However, a highly effective method for large-size HEAs is still desirable but challengeable. This research reported a facile yet effective strategy for MoNbTaWTi HEAs via in-situ wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). The wire was MoNbTaWTi cable-type welding wire (CTWW) consisting of one center wire and seven twisted peripheral wires. Then, additive manufacturing of MoNbTaWTi high entropy alloys (HEAs) was accomplished, and various analytical techniques studied the microstructures and mechanical properties of the overlaying formed layers. X-ray diffraction showed the overlaying formed layers to contain a single disordered BCC solid solution phase with high-temperature structural stability. In addition, the single-phase BCC structure was maintained from 0 to 1400 °C. The bottom of the overlaying formed layers was made of columnar cellular structure, and the upper part resembled “cauliflower-like” fine dendrite and equiaxed crystal structure. The hardness of the overlaying formed layers averaged 533 HV0.2 at room temperature. At 1000 °C, the hardness was around 110 HV1, close to the value of Inconel 718 alloy (125 HV1). The compressive strength of the overlaying formed alloy layers displayed no sensitivity towards change in temperature from 500 to 1000 °C. As the temperature rose from 500 to 1000 °C, the compressive strength changed from 629 to 602 MPa, equivalent to only a 27 MPa decrease. The latter was much higher than the strength of Inconel 718 alloy at the same temperature (200 MPa). Full article

A modified J-integral calculation method is adopted to fix the problem of the quantitative evaluation of the crack propagation of shot-peened structures. Considering the residual stress, residual strain, and residual strain energy, the effect of shot peening on the J-integral parameters of semi-elliptic surface crack fronts is quantitatively calculated and a method is provided for the performance evaluation of the shot peening layer. First, the shot peening process is simulated, then the fatigue crack is generated by changing the constraint condition and a far-field load is applied to calculate the J-integral parameters, crack propagation rate, and crack kinking angle. The effects of different crack depths and shot velocities on the fracture parameters are analyzed. The results show that the reduction in the J-integral value after shot peening decreases with the increase in the crack depth when the shot velocity is a certain value, which indicates that shot peening is more beneficial for suppressing the fatigue crack propagation. When the crack depth is greater than the depth of the compressive stress layer, shot peening accelerates the crack propagation. The reduction in the J-integral value decreases with the increase in shot velocity when the crack depth is a certain value; therefore, increasing shot velocity is more beneficial for retarding fatigue crack propagation.
