Fused filament fabrication (FFF) of polymer composites with continuous fibers could enable the manufacture of complex structures with exceptionally high specific strength and stiffness. Although filaments with continuous fiber reinforcement are “printable”, the fibers undergo damage during printing, leading to reductions in strength and reliability. Of further concern, the printed material generally exhibits low interlaminar tensile strength. In this study, a novel prototype filament for FFF with continuous carbon fibers and polyphenylene sulfide matrix was evaluated for its potential to resist process-related fiber damage introduced during printing and to increase the interlaminar tensile strength. The filament design enrolls a circumferential matrix coating around a fiber reinforced core. According to the measures of strength, the new filament design improved the reliability in axial strength as well as increased the interlaminar tensile strength by over 80 %. While the new coated filament exhibited superior performance overall in the printed condition, it was more sensitive to temperature changes and underwent a substantial decrease in axial tensile strength at T > 330 °C due to the decrease in matrix viscosity and consequent reduction in fiber protection. The printability of the new filament design is reported as a function of nozzle temperature, and the mechanisms that cause void formation and fiber damage are discussed.

By using thermo-mechanical processing, 99.996 wt.% pure Ni with different grain boundary characteristics were fabricated(Sample #1, 700℃ × 10 h + cold rolling reduction 50%+ 650℃ × 2 h; Sample #2, 700℃ × 10 h + cold rolling reduction 50%+ 900℃ × 5 min). Hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of the two samples was determined by using high-pressure hydrogen charging, low strain rate tensile test and SEM fractography. Compared with Sample #1, hydrogen embrittlement index of Sample #2 increased from 0.52 to 0.71. The effects of grain size,grain boundary type and grain boundary curviness on hydrogen embrittlement of pure Ni were discussed. The results indicate that: 1) special grain boundaries including twin grain boundaries may have a marginal effect on tailoring hydrogen embrittlement resistance in pure Ni; 2) increasing grain boundary curviness is an effective way to improve hydrogen embrittlement resistance of Ni.

Micro-grinding with a spherical grinding head has been deemed an indispensable method in high-risk surgeries, such as neurosurgery and spine surgery, where bone grinding has long been plagued by the technical bottleneck of mechanical stress-induced crack damage. In response to this challenge, the ultrasound-assisted biological bone micro-grinding novel process with a spherical grinding head has been proposed by researchers. Force modeling is a prerequisite for process parameter determination in orthopedic surgery, and the difculty in establishing and accurately predicting bone micro-grinding force prediction models is due to the geometric distribution of abrasive grains and the dynamic changes in geometry and kinematics during the cutting process. In addressing these critical needs and technical problems, the shape and protrusion heights of the wear particle of the spherical grinding head were frst studied, and the gradual rule of the contact arc length under the action of high-speed rotating ultrasonic vibration was proposed. Second, the mathematical model of the maximum thickness of undeformed chips under ultrasonic vibration of the spherical grinding head was established. Results showed that ultrasonic vibration can reduce the maximum thickness of undeformed chips and increase the range of ductile and bone meal removals, revealing the mechanism of reducing grinding force. Further, the dynamic grinding behavior of diferent layers of abrasive particles under diferent instantaneous interaction states was studied. Finally, a prediction model of micro-grinding force was established in accordance with the relationship between grinding force and cutting depth, revealing the mechanism of micro-grinding force transfer under ultrasonic vibration. The theoretical model’s average deviations are 10.37% in x-axis direction, 6.85% in y-axis direction, and 7.81% in z-axis direction compared with the experimental results. This study provides theoretical guidance and technical sup
