Abstract: The paper considers the influence of vibration oscillations on the porosity, structure and properties of compact samples obtained by directed energy deposition. A heat resistant alloy based on nickel Inconel 625 was chosen as the starting material. It was found that oscillations at a frequency of 400 Hz significantly reduce the porosity of samples, and also increase the hardness, due to a finer structure, and minimize the anisotropy of properties depending on the direction.

Abstract: Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a relatively new solid state joining method that can be used to achieve very good weld quality. This technique is energy efficient, environment friendly, and versatile. The FSW process utilizes a rotating tool in which includes a pin and shoulder to perform the welding process. FSW applications in high strength alloys, such as stainless steel remain limited due to large welding force and consequent tool wear. It has been shown that applying the ultrasonic vibration on some processes such as turning and drilling the resultant forces are decreased and process condition is improved. In this paper the influence of applying vibration on FSW is investigated in simulating tools. For FSW modeling a proper transfer function of axial force has been proposed. The resultant axial force of conventional FSW and Vibration Assisted FSW (VAFSW) are compared in frequency and time domain state spaces. A good correlation between FSW simulation and experiments is observed. For further investigation of VAFSW the response surface of design of experiment (DOE) method is utilized. The influence of changing VAFSW process parameters is investigated. The simulation results indicate that vibration helps to decrease the welding force. Using DOE method the effects of implemented frequency and vibration speed amplitude in FSW are found.

Abstract: A new tool electrode high frequency vibration assisted micro-hole EDM machine tool aimed to resolve the problem of machine large quantities micro holes in industry was designed. The machine is mainly composed of main body, electrical control module and assistant mechanisms etc. And drawn tungsten wire was used as the micro tool electrode. A series of experiments were carried out using the micro-hole EDM machine.

Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of horizontal vibration assistance on surface roughness in magnetic abrasive finishing, and the material removal mechanism associated. The experiments on vibration-assisted finishing have clearly indicated that the improvement of surface roughness is mainly attributed to the cross-cutting effect of abrasives.

Abstract: In this paper, it is explored the material removal mechanism in vibration-assisted finishing process. On the basis of some experiments, the finishing characteristics are represented summarily. Though the analysis, it is shown that the vibration assistance method may increase cutting distance and speed of abrasive and material removal in per unit finishing distance which is affected by vibration frequency and amplitude, in-process abrasives behavior. What more, the increase in material removal rate is mainly due to an increase in material removal per unit finishing distance which is affected by the effects of abrasives cross-cutting.
