Waterjet cutting is a non-conventional cutting technology. Important criteria of the cut surface are geometric accuracy and surface roughness. The aim of this paper is to provide predictive models to estimate average surface roughness (Ra), taking into account significant effects. Full factorial design of experiments were used in the waterjet cutting tests. The input parameters were plate thick...

Temperature-responsive properties of surface-attached poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) network films with well-controlled chemistry are investigated. The synthesis consists of cross-linking and grafting preformed ene-reactive polymer chains through thiol-ene click chemistry. The formation of surface-attached and cross-linked polymer films has the advantage of being well-controlled without a...

Lubricant and coolant can improve surface roughness in machining. In addition of ecological harms, thermal shock of coolant or lubricant may affect the surface integrity especially on surface residual stresses and micro-crack nucleation. Dry machining is ecologically desirable and it is considered as a necessity for manufacturing enterprises in the recent years. 55Cr3 steel grade is steel with ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the wear resistance and surface roughness of nanofiller-containing composites and microhybrid composites after simulated wear. METHODS Five microhybrid composites and five nanofiller-containing resin composites were included in the study. Six cylindrical specimens with a diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of 6 mm for each material were prepared. The volume loss, vertical l...

the micro milling operation is one of the manufacturing processes, which can produce 3d parts in the range of less than a millimetre. miniaturization of components results in increasing the ratio of surface area to volume of components, which in turn increases the role of surface on the component performance. therefore, anticipating the relationship between micro milling parameters and surface ...
