Summary: Metal additive manufacturing (AM) is a promising technology for fabricating complex shaped components with minimum scrap, but post processing is crucial to improve surface integrity and mechanical properties. Existing finishing methods have limitations such as inaccessibility to complex surfaces and deterioration in material properties. Wire electrical discharge polishing (WEDP) shows excellent capability in improving surface integrity and mechanical properties, making it a promising option for combining with metal AM technology.

Summary: The effect of slide diamond burnishing on surface roughness, residual stresses, and microhardness of 42CrMo4 hard-turned steel was studied. It was found that the effect of one parameter was highly affected by the others. As a result, the optimal burnishing parameters were specified, with which better surface quality was obtained than after grinding.

Summary: This paper investigates the topographical behavior of precipitation hardened magnesium alloy AZ80A subjected to cavitation peening. The introduction of surface residual compressive stress is the main feature of this new method, which differs from traditional mechanical processing methods and plays a key role in improving the surface performance of the metal material. After heat treatment, cavitation peening raises the surface hardness and increases the compressive residual stresses of the magnesium alloy specimens. However, it also results in increased surface roughness.

Summary: Surface integrity is crucial for the fatigue performance of components. This study investigates the effects of cutting parameters on surface integrity characteristics through ball end milling of TC17 alloy. The experimental results reveal that increasing the cutting parameters leads to higher surface roughness, surface compressive residual stress, and milled surface microhardness. Empirical models are developed to predict the surface integrity characteristics, which are of great significance in optimizing cutting parameters.

Summary: The implementation of micro-textured cutting tools is an effective strategy to improve dry machining processes by reducing friction and heat for better surface quality and longer tool life. However, derivative cutting, a result of micro-cutting on the bottom side of the chip, can increase cutting forces, heat, and tool wear. Further research is needed to address the issue of derivative cutting and optimize micro-texture design parameters.

Summary: This paper compares the life cycle assessment of casting, machining, and three additive manufacturing methods. The results show that casting is the most environmentally friendly option for large-scale production, while PBF and BJ perform differently in terms of environmental impact depending on the energy source assumption. BPE has a slightly higher increase in CO2 emissions compared to BJ when using fossil fuels.

Summary: This study presents a new and power-efficient actuator for an active ankle-foot orthosis (AAFO). The actuator utilizes a discrete non-linear stiffness principle by compressing multiple linear springs at specified displacement intervals to reduce the peak mechanical power required for actuation. Through multi-objective optimization, the link lengths and spring stiffnesses are selected to minimize the input power and size. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the actuator model and simulations.

Summary: Eye reflexes play a crucial role in stabilizing gaze for daily navigation, with the cervico-ocular reflex being one of them. The cerebellum is a key neural structure involved in this reflex, facilitating gaze stability through sensorimotor integration. Testing this reflex involves fixating the head in space and rotating the body around the neck, which requires a chair that can rotate to specific amplitudes and frequencies according to project guidelines.
