Summary: This paper investigates the surface and edge chipping damage induced by diamond machining in two pre-crystallized LS materials. The study finds that Pre-ZLS produces larger surface roughness and deeper edge damage compared to Pre-LS, and has lower machining forces. Increasing material removal rates lead to significantly increased machining forces, surface roughness and damage. Therefore, optimization of soft machining processes is necessary for achieving acceptable surface and edge quality.

Summary: Compared to conventional grinding, ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding has more prospects in processing AISI 304. This study proposes a workpiece vibration grinding device suitable for UVAG and investigates its vibration characteristics. Experimental results show that under the action of ultrasonic vibration, the workpiece obtains better surface morphology and the amplitude of ultrasonic vibration and the amplitude percentage of ultrasonic generator have a linear relationship with grinding force.

Summary: Due to their remarkable mechanical properties, SiCp/Al composites are widely used in the aerospace industry with a wide range of applications. However, the hard particle reinforcement leads to poor machining quality, high cutting resistance, and severe tool wear in traditional machining, resulting in poor machinability and difficulty in meeting high surface quality requirements. The processability of SiCp/Al composites has been improved through the use of ultrasonic vibration machining technology. This study provides an overview of the influence of ultrasonic vibration machining on the machining properties of SiCp/Al composites, including different forms of machining, vibration devices, and theoretical analysis.

Summary: Machining-induced surface fractures in ceramic restorations is a long-standing problem in dentistry, affecting the restorations' functionality and reliability. This study approached a novel ultrasonic vibration-assisted machining technique to zirconia-containing lithium silicate glass-ceramics (ZLS) and characterized its induced surface fracture topographies and morphologies. The results showed that the surface fracture topographies were significantly dependent on the material microstructure, the mechanical properties, and the ultrasonic machining vibration amplitudes. Ultrasonic machining resulted in more ductile removal, reducing fractured-induced peaks and valleys for both materials. This research demonstrates the potential of the novel machining technique to improve dental CAD/CAM techniques.

Summary: In this study, the effects of ultrasonic assisted friction stir welding (Ua-FSW) and heat pipe assisted friction stir welding (Ha-FSW) on the welding of 4 mm thick 7075 aluminum alloy were investigated. The results showed that both Ua-FSW and Ha-FSW effectively improved the weld forming, with better surface quality observed in Ha-FSW joints. The ultrasound flow effect and heat dissipation from the heat pipe controlled the temperature gradient, resulting in finer grain sizes. These assisted technologies had a greater impact on the thermomechanically affected zone (TMAZ) and heat-affected zone (HAZ), promoting subgrain formation and retention. Ha-FSW also significantly improved the elongation performance of the joints.

Summary: This study investigates the electrical characteristics of the ultrasonic vibration unit in a rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) system. The relationship between electrical parameters and the resonant frequency of the ultrasonic vibration unit is studied when different tools are clamped. Rotary ultrasonic drilling experiments are conducted to study the effect of processing parameters on the electrical characteristics of the ultrasonic vibration unit. It is found that the variations of electrical parameters are significant under different ultrasonic voltages but not under different feed rates.

Summary: The influence of substrate bias on edge-rounding of TiAlN-coated drill bits and cutting performance while machining Inconel 718 was investigated in this study. Tungsten carbide (WC) drill bits were coated with TiAlN through a cathodic arc physical vapor deposition (CAPVD) system using different substrate bias voltages. Substrate bias significantly affected the hardness, adhesion strength, and residual stress of the coating. The sharp edges of coated drill bits exhibited edge-rounding due to re-sputtering and residual stress-induced micro-chipping. The study helps determine the optimum substrate bias level for favorable edge radius and tool life of coated drill bits.

Summary: This paper investigates the cyclic nanoindentation behavior of pre-sintered and sintered zirconia materials. The results show that pre-sintered zirconia undergoes quasi-plastic deformation with cracking, while sintered zirconia mainly experiences shear deformation and localized microfractures. The elastic and plastic behaviors of both materials are significantly influenced by their microstructures, but are independent of the number of cyclic nanoindentations.

Summary: This study investigates the micromechanical behaviors of porous and dense zirconia materials using in-situ micropillar compression in a scanning electron microscope. The results show that both materials exhibit plastic behaviors, but porous zirconia has lower modulus and strength with higher ductility compared to dense zirconia. The failure mechanisms are different, with porous zirconia experiencing mushrooming buckling damage due to the breaking of weak interconnected pore networks, while dense zirconia undergoes plastic crushing damage involving microcrack initiation and propagation.
