Robot-guided drag finishing is a free abrasive grinding operation that is used for polishing and deburring of workpieces with complex shaped geometries. The workpiece is attached to a robot and moved through a bulk of abrasive particles. The motion of abrasive particles during contact with the workpiece is the basis of the material removal mechanisms. To investigate the motion of abrasive particles during contact, a force measurement system was used to determine contact forces. The experimental setup was replicated in a numerical simulation based on the discrete element method (DEM). Based on the comparison of experimental and simulative results the qualitative validity of the DEM model was concluded. With the presented DEM model, the characteristic particle behavior during contact with the workpiece can be modeled which allows the prediction of resulting processing marks. Consequently, the DEM model can be used to design free abrasive grinding operations without using the time and cost intensive trial and error approach.

The development of sustainable manufacturing processes and the associated reduction of operating materials such as cooling lubricants represent key focuses on recent productiontechnology. Thus, a novel tool system with a closed-loop internal cooling system for turning operations is presented in this study. The systemdesign is based on numerical investigations of the heat flow Q⋅ with consideration of the thermomechanical load of the cutting tool and flow characteristics of the cooling fluid. The process behavior of the proposed system shows a significant dependence of the flow rate V⋅ and tool thickness t T in terms of tool temperature reduction Δθ T .

The high thermal conductivity and wear resistance of CVD diamond provide potential for the machining of Ti-6Al-4V. By predicting thermomechanical loads, simulations can provide information about the usability of these cutting materials. However, the occurring shear chip formation within the cutting process leads to unsteady contact conditions. Therefore, a computationally intensive long-term transient simulation is necessary for precise prediction of tool temperatures. In this respect, a user-subroutine has been developed, allowing a high-resolution long-term simulation with acceptable computing time. By experimental investigations and validation of simulated results, a modelling of temperature distribution within the cutting tool is possible, providing valuable information regarding the contact temperatures.

To counteract the high thermomechanical load during turning Ti-6Al-4V, an advancement of tool geometries is necessary. Based on simulative and empirical analysis, the present study investigates the process behaviour of micro-textured CVD diamond cutting tools. Different micro-texture trajectories determine influence of the microstructure on the stress levels, pressure distributions and adhesive wear. Compared to non-textured cutting tools, a cutting force reduction of 12.8 % determined empirically and 19.5 % determined simulatively with simultaneous displacement of the principal stress results using micro-textures. Based on simulatively calculated process forces and pressure distributions an evaluation of tool stability and adhesion tendency is possible.

The study deals with the influence of the heat input and the resulting cooling times on the microstructure and Charpy impact toughness of single-pass laser hybrid welded 20-mm thick high-strength steel S690QL. The main focus is on the change of the mechanical properties over the entire seam thickness. The cooling times were measured in-situ using a pyrometer and an optical fibre in three different depths of the seam where Charpy impact test specimens were also later taken. Thereby, three different heat inputs from 1.3 kJ/mm to 2 kJ/mm were investigated. Despite the observed decreased values of both t 8/5 -cooling time and the Charpy impact toughness in the root part of the seam, the required impact toughness of 38 J/cm 2 could be reached in dependance on applied heat input, especially at the heat input of 1.6 kJ/mm.

Hybrid designs with the combination of metal and long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFT) offer a great opportunity to reduce component weight for automotive applications. production costs are typically high due to complex processes and challenging end machining. A complete manufacturing process chain for simultaneous hybrid designproduction is presented. Hybrid forming, a manufacturing process combining metal sheet forming, LFT compression molding and bonding, was developed to manufacture an automotive lightweight component, finally end machined by innovative waterjet techniques. Besides optimizing waterjet end machining strategies, waterjet controlled-depth machining was used to remove LFT material selectively, resulting in increased hybrid production flexibility.

Additive manufacturing (AM) currently evolves from a prototyping process to an alternative manufacturing process for end-use parts, advancing into fabrication of low to medium product volumes. Moreover, increasing awareness of environmental impacts of manufacturing lead to the necessity of holistic evaluation among traditional evaluation criteria in the technical and economic domains. However, existing evaluation approaches seldom consider a complete AM process chain and are lacking a production-oriented notation which enables comparability across technologies and support in identification of improvement potentials on technical and environmental level. To address this gap, this paper highlights the way from structured data acquisition to setup of an energy value stream map (EVSM) for AM process chains in end-use part production, augmenting methods of lean manufacturing by the energy dimension. Consequently, it contributes to a holistic and transparent process chain perspective to assess AM as a manufacturing alternative. The proposed methodology is applied to a case study covering two different process chains, a first based on powder bed fusion via Multi-jet Fusion (MJF) and a second utilizing vat-photopolymerization via Continuous Liquid Interphase Printing (CLIP). While the MJF process chain’s energetical hot spot is situated in the printing process itself, the hot spot for CLIP is found in thermal post-processing, exceeding the comparably efficient printing process by magnitudes and ultimately resulting in higher energy intensity per part compared to the MJF process chain. These results highlight the necessity of a holistic evaluation method for complete AM-based process chains and their influence on the product properties. Insights may help engineers, designers and decision makers in pre-selection of suitable manufacturing strategies with a more complete view on AM process chains.
