Surface Characteristics Enhancement of Biocompatible Mg Alloy AZ31B by Cryogenic Milling

Process Mechanics and Surface Integrity Induced by Dry and Cryogenic Machining of AZ31B-O Magnesium Alloy

The corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys depends mainly on its surface integrity. Previous experimental studies have shown that machining can induces small (nano-scale) grain size, compressive residual stresses and basal plane crystallographic texture, which significantly improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy. These studies have focused on the positive effects of cryogenic coo...

Constitutive Modelling of AZ31B-O Magnesium Alloy for Cryogenic Machining

The success of a FE model for metal cutting process is strongly dependent on the accurate characterization of the workpiece material, under similar conditions as those found in metal cutting. In this paper, dynamic shear tests using a Gleeble machine have been performed on 4 mm thickness disks of AZ31B-O magnesium alloy, using a special designed tool. In order to include the effects of the cryo...

Synthesis of Nonstoichiometric Amorphous Mg-Based Alloy Electrodes by Mechanical Milling

Cryogenic Milling of Titanium Powder

Ti Grade 2 was prepared by cryogenic attritor milling in liquid nitrogen and liquid argon. Two types of milling balls were used—stainless steel balls and heavy tungsten carbide balls. The effect of processing parameters on particle size and morphology, contamination of powder and its microhardness was investigated. Milling in liquid nitrogen was not feasible due to excessive contamination by ni...

Influence of Milling Conditions on the Surface Quality in High-Speed Milling of Titanium Alloy

The study was focused on the machined surface quality of titanium alloy under different milling conditions, including milling speed, tool rake angle and cooling method. The surface quality was investigated in terms of residual stress and surface roughness. The results show that the compressive residual stresses are generated on the machined surface under all milling conditions. The compressive ...
