A permanent magnetic yoke with a straight air gap was developed as the magnetic excitation unit, in order to improve the efficiency of magnetorheological (MR) polishing for ultra-smooth surface planarization. Finite element modelling was used to simulate the magnetic performance of the newly developed yoke, which was found to agree well with the experimental measurement. With the developed MR polishing apparatus, the effects of trough speed, work and excitation gap width, particle concentration within the MR fluid and workpiece size on the material removal rate were systematically investigated. Final tests were performed on glass specimens to examine the polishing performance. The polishing area in the developed process was much larger than that of the conventional MR finishing process with a carrier wheel and ultra-smooth surface of 1 nm in R-a was achieved.

Molecular dynamics simulation of crosslinking process and mechanical properties of epoxy under the accelerator

Fengjun Chen, Fan Liu, Xiaogang Du

Summary: In this study, the crosslinking process and micro mechanical properties of epoxy resin under the action of an accelerator were investigated using molecular dynamics simulation. The results showed that increasing the crosslinking density can enhance the modulus and glass transition temperature, but decrease the cohesive energy density, solubility, and Poisson's ratio. Moreover, the tensile strength, friction coefficient, temperature, and relative concentration distribution were also affected by the crosslinking density.

Influences of early-stage C diffusion on growth microstructures in solid-state interface reaction between CVD diamond and sputtered Cr

Zhuo Liu, Wei Cheng, Dekui Mu, Yueqin Wu, Qiaoli Lin, Xipeng Xu, Han Huang

Summary: The influence of early-stage C diffusion on the microstructures of chromium carbides formed in the solid-state interface reaction was investigated using XPS and TEM techniques. It was found that the catalytically converted disordered carbon (DC) was the first phase formed in the early-stage reaction. Abnormal C diffusion in sputtered Cr was observed for the first time, which affected the interfacial microstructures. The formation behaviors of Cr7C3 and Cr23C6 carbides were examined, and Cr23C6 was found to be the dominant phase formed in the interface reaction. The origin and evolution of crystal twins at grain boundaries between interfacial carbides were also studied using HRTEM.

Brittle-to-ductile transition in nanoscratching of silicon and gallium arsenide using Berkovich and Conical tips

Xuliang Li, Zhiqi Fan, Shuiquan Huang, Mingyuan Lu, Han Huang

Summary: Determining the brittle-to-ductile transition (BDT) threshold is crucial for efficient machining processes of brittle materials. This study investigated the effects of tip shape and microstructural variation on the BDT behavior of single-crystal silicon and gallium arsenide. The critical cutting depth for BDT was influenced by both material microstructure and tip shape, with stress distribution and microstructure evolution being impacted. Using a sharp tip, silicon had a slightly smaller critical cutting depth than gallium arsenide, while with a blunt tip, gallium arsenide had a smaller critical cutting depth due to its higher brittleness index and density of crystallite defects.

Unveiling the effect of crystal orientation on gallium nitride cutting through MD simulation

Yongqiang Wang, Shuaiyang Zhang, Hao Xia, Yueqin Wu, Han Huang

Summary: This study used molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the cutting of GaN along different crystal orientations. The simulation revealed distinct outcomes for different cutting directions, with enhanced removal efficiency and generation of more dislocations when cutting on a-plane or along the [-2110] direction on m-plane. However, cutting on c-plane or along the [0001] direction on m-plane showed the potential for achieving better surface integrity. This study provides valuable insights into the effect of crystallite orientation on the cutting performance of GaN and demonstrates the importance of appropriate selection of cutting directions for improved surface quality.

Self-assembled micropillar arrays via near-field electrospinning

Fengjun Chen, Xiaogang Du

Summary: This paper reports the self-assembly phenomenon in near-field electrospinning for the first time, realizing the conversion from two-dimensional planar printing to three-dimensional structures. By adding carbonyl iron powder particles to a polyethylene oxide (PEO) solution, repeatedly stacked fibres form a micropillar array structure (MPAS) with intervals on the deposition paths. The growth process and mechanism of the self-assembled MPAS are documented, and the effects of substrate speed and injection speed are investigated. Electric field distribution simulations show the enhanced electric field strength around the MPAS, allowing for further deposition. Self-assembly in near-field electrospinning can significantly reduce the preparation cost of an MPAS and provide new processes and ideas.
