“…By leveraging laserinduced cracking, the grinding force was reduced by 30%, thereby reducing wheel wear when operating with identical cutting parameters or improving machining efficiency, maintaining the same wear rate. He et al [168] investigated the surface formation process during LAG of high-strength alloys. A laser-assisted scratching experiment and a molecular dynamics simulation were conducted on TC17 titanium alloy.…”

Difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium alloys, high-temperature alloys, metal/ceramic/polymer-matrix composites, hard and brittle materials, as well as geometrically complex components such as thin-walled structures, micro channels and complex surfaces, are widely used in aerospace community. Mechanical machining is the main material removal process and responsible for the vast majority of material removal for aerospace components. Nevertheless, it encounters many problems in terms of severe and rapid tool wear, low machining efficiency, and deteriorated surface integrity. Nontraditional energy-assisted mechanical machining is a hybrid process in which nontraditional energies, e.g., vibration, laser, electric, etc., are applied to improve the machinability of local material and decrease burden of mechanical machining. It provides a feasible and promising way for improving machinability and surface quality, reducing process forces, and prolonging tool life, etc. However, systematic reviews of this technology are lacking with respect to the current research status and development direction. This paper reviews recent progress in nontraditional energy-assisted mechanical machining of difficult-to-cut materials and components in aerospace community. It focuses on the processing principles, material responses under nontraditional energy, resultant forces and temperatures, material removal mechanisms and applications of these processes including vibration-, laser-, electric-, magnetic-, chemical-, cryogenic cooling-, and hybrid nontraditional energies-assisted mechanical machining. Eventually, a comprehensive summary of the principles, advantages and limitations for each hybrid process is provided, and future perspectives on forward design, device development and sustainability of nontraditional energy-assisted mechanical machining processes are discussed.

PurposeThe purpose of this review is to comprehensively consider the material properties and processing of additive titanium alloy and provide a new perspective for the robotic grinding and polishing of additive titanium alloy blades to ensure the surface integrity and machining accuracy of the blades.Design/methodology/approachAt present, robot grinding and polishing are mainstream processing methods in blade automatic processing. This review systematically summarizes the processing characteristics and processing methods of additive manufacturing (AM) titanium alloy blades. On the one hand, the unique manufacturing process and thermal effect of AM have created the unique processing characteristics of additive titanium alloy blades. On the other hand, the robot grinding and polishing process needs to incorporate the material removal model into the traditional processing flow according to the processing characteristics of the additive titanium alloy.FindingsRobot belt grinding can solve the processing problem of additive titanium alloy blades. The complex surface of the blade generates a robot grinding trajectory through trajectory planning. The trajectory planning of the robot profoundly affects the machining accuracy and surface quality of the blade. Subsequent research is needed to solve the problems of high machining accuracy of blade profiles, complex surface material removal models and uneven distribution of blade machining allowance. In the process parameters of the robot, the grinding parameters, trajectory planning and error compensation affect the surface quality of the blade through the material removal method, grinding force and grinding temperature. The machining accuracy of the blade surface is affected by robot vibration and stiffness.Originality/valueThis review systematically summarizes the processing characteristics and processing methods of aviation titanium alloy blades manufactured by AM. Combined with the material properties of additive titanium alloy, it provides a new idea for robot grinding and polishing of aviation titanium alloy blades manufactured by AM.

“…Abrasive belt grinding is a process that grinds the moving abrasive belt in contact with the workpiece according to the shape of the workpiece in a corresponding contact manner. In the process of belt grinding, the elastic deformation of the contact wheel can adapt to the surface shape of the curved workpiece to form a large grinding area, resulting in high processing efficiency [15]. The relative movement between the abrasive grain and the workpiece surface can be divided into three processes, namely slipping, ploughing and cutting [16].…”

Due to its low thermal conductivity, work hardening and other characteristics, titanium alloys are prone to shortcomings such as large cutting force and poor processing quality in the processing process. Laser-assisted grinding (LAG) can significantly improve its processing performance, but the mechanism of synergistic parameters between laser and abrasive belt on surface quality has not been clearly revealed in the laser-assisted belt grinding process. Based on this, this paper proposes a method of laser-belt collaborative processing (LBCP), established a mathematical model of laser and abrasive belt co-processing, and reveals the collaborative processing mechanism. Through the LBCP experiment of titanium alloy TC17, the grinding force, surface morphology, and roughness of titanium alloy TC17 were investigated, and the effect of different collaborative processing factors on the surface quality of titanium alloy was studied. The results show that appropriately increasing the normal pressure will improve the surface quality of titanium alloy. The larger the laser incidence angle, the better the surface quality. Reducing the synergistic distance between the laser and the abrasive belt improves the surface quality. This study provides new ideas for laser-assisted processing of difficult-to-process materials.
