Review of non-conventional technologies for assisting ultra-precision single-point diamond turning

Experimental investigation on the effects of magnetic field assistance on the quality of surface finish for sustainable manufacturing of ultra-precision single-point diamond turning of titanium alloys

“…Unconventional liquids and fluids, including propylene glycol, alkaline soap water, and sodium nitrite, are a category of solutions used in the advanced manufacturing of Ti-6Al-4V alloy (Mukhopadhyay et al, 2018;Mukhopadhyay and Kundu, 2019;Mukhopadhyay and Kundu, 2021). Non-conventional machining techniques, including hot machining, magnetic field assistance, and nitrogen cold plasma jet, are another category of machining techniques, used during the machining of titanium alloys to enhance the machining conditions and the outcome of the process in terms of surface finish (Bordin et al, 2017;Hatefi and Abou-El-Hossein, 2020a;Agrawal et al, 2021). Among the recent solutions used during the advanced manufacturing of titanium alloys, the application of magnetic field assistance proved to be a suitable solution for sustainable manufacturing of titanium alloys.…”

“…By development of analytical surface topography models, the influence of different machining factors/conditions on the quality of the machined workpiece could be determined (Chabot et al, 2022;Karmiris-Obratański et al, 2022;Molnar and Szabo, 2022). Also, different non-conventional technologies have been developed and used in ultra-precision SPDT, including active vibration, hot machining, ion implantation, gas shielding, and magnetic manipulation techniques (Hatefi and Abou-El-Hossein, 2020a).…”

“…Active vibration systems and hot machining techniques are effective solutions that have shown positive impacts on the outcome of the SPDT process. The application of active vibration and hot machining solutions during advanced manufacturing of different materials is well-established (Singh and Khamba, 2006;Kumar, 2013;Venkatesan et al, 2014;Hatefi and Abou-El-Hossein, 2020a). Although active vibration and hot machining solutions are effective, they have negative effects on the machining conditions and the quality of optical surface generation.…”

“…Increasing the cutting temperature negatively affects the material swelling and tool wear while affecting the quality of surface finish. Nitrogen cold plasma jet and magnetic field assistance are recently developed techniques that could assist the SPDT process and improve the quality of optical surface generation mechanisms without negatively affecting the diamond cutting process (Xu et al, 2012;Xu et al, 2014;Yuan et al, 2017;Zhu et al, 2018;Hatefi and Abou-El-Hossein, 2020a).…”

Surface Quality Prediction by Machine Learning Methods and Process Parameter Optimization in Ultra-Precision Machining of AISI D2 Using CBN tool

“…This process has been applied in different industries but not limited to the automobiles, aerospace, medical, and optical industry, where high precision and surface quality are crucial for optimal performance and economical manufacturing [5,6] and have been found to be more efficient than the grinding process [2,7]. Ultra-precision hard turning is also used to produce machine parts, such as gears and bearings, and optical components, such as lenses and mirrors [8]. It is worth mentioning that the ultra-precision hard-turning process is a challenging task.…”
