However, challenges arise in their processability because of the non-uniform material properties of biphasic materials. In particular, limited research has been conducted on the reinforcement mechanism and behavior of particles during material cutting deformation of PRMMC with nanoscale particles. In this study, a cutting simulation model for ADSC was established, separating the nanoscale reinforcement particles from the matrix. This model was utilized to analyze the interactions among particles, matrix, and tool during the cutting process, providing insights into chip formation and fracture. Particles with high strength and hardness are more prone to storing stress concentrations, anchoring themselves at grain boundaries to resist grain fibration, thereby influencing the stress distribution in the cutting deformation zone. Stress concentration around the particles leads to the formation of discontinuous chips, indicating that ADSC with high-volume fractions of particle (VFP) exhibits low cutting continuity, which is consistent with the results of cutting experiments. The tool tip that is in contact with particles experiences stress concentration, thereby accelerating tool wear. Cutting ADSC with 1.1% VFP results in tool blunting, which increases the radius of cutting edge from 0.5 to 1.9 μm, accompanied with remarkable coating delamination and wear. Simulation results indicate that the minimum uncut chip thickness increases from 0.04 to 0.07 μm as VFP increases from 0.3% to 1.1%. In conjunction with scratch experiments, MUCT increases with the augmentation of VFP. Computational analysis of the specific cutting force indicates that particles contribute to the material’s size effect. The results of this study provide theoretical guidance for practical engineering machining of ADSC, indicating its great importance for the process design of components made from ADSC.展开更多

文摘Surface defects introduced by conventional mechanical processing methods can induce irreversible damage and reduce the service life of optics applied in high-power lasers.Compared to mechanical processing,laser polishing with moving beam spot is a noncontact processing method,which is able to form a defect-free surface.This work aims to explore the mechanism of forming a smooth,defect-free fused silica surface by high-power density laser polishing with coupled multiple beams.The underlying mechanisms of laser polishing was revealed by numerical simulations and the theoretical results were verified by experiments.The simulated polishing depth and machined surface morphology were in close agreement with the experimental results.To obtain the optimized polishing quality,the effects of laser polishing parameters(e.g.overlap rate,pulse width and polishing times)on the polishing quality were experimentally investigated.It was found that the processing efficiency of fused silica materials by carbon dioxide(CO2)laser polishing could reach 8.68 mm2 s−1,and the surface roughness(Ra)was better than 25 nm.Besides,the cracks on pristine fused silica surfaces introduced by initial grinding process were completely removed by laser polishing to achieve a defect-free surface.The maximum laser polishing rate can reach 3.88μm s−1,much higher than that of the traditional mechanical polishing methods.The rapid CO2 laser polishing can effectively achieve smooth,defect-free surface,which is of great significance to improve the surface quality of fused silica optics applied in high-power laser facilities.

文摘As for the ultra-precision grinding of the hemispherical fused silica resonator,due to the hard and brittle nature of fused silica,subsurface damage(SSD)is easily generated,which enormously influences the performance of such components.Hence,ultra-precision grinding experiments are carried out to investigate the surface/subsurface quality of the hemispherical resonator machined by the small ball-end fine diamond grinding wheel.The influence of grinding parameters on the surface roughness(SR)and SSD depth of fused silica samples is then analyzed.The experimental results indicate that the SR and SSD depth decreased with the increase of grinding speed and the decrease of feed rate and grinding depth.In addition,based on the material strain rate and the maximum undeformed chip thickness,the effect of grinding parameters on the subsurface damage mechanism of fused silica samples is analyzed.Furthermore,a multi-step ultra-precision grinding technique of the hemispherical resonator is proposed based on the interaction influence between grinding depth and feed rate.Finally,the hemispherical resonator is processed by the proposed grinding technique,and the SR is improved from 454.328 nm to 110.449 nm while the SSD depth is reduced by 94%from 40μm to 2.379μm.The multi-step grinding technique proposed in this paper can guide the fabrication of the hemispherical resonator.

文摘High-precision turning(HPT)is a main processing method for manufacturing rotary high-precision components,especially for metallic parts.However,the generated vibration between tool tip and workpiece during turning may seriously deteriorate the surface integrity.Therefore,exploring the effect of vibration on turning surface morphology and quality of copper parts using 3D surface topography regeneration model is crucial for predicting HPT performance.This developed model can update the machined surface topology in real time.In this study,the effects of tool arc radius,feed rate,radial vibration,axial vibration and tangential vibration on the surface topography and surface roughness were explored.The results show that the effect of radial vibration on surface topography is greater than that of axial vibration and tangential vibration.The radial vibration frequency is also critical.When vibration frequency changes,the surface topography profile presents three different types:the standard sinusoidal curve,the sinusoidal curve whose lowfrequency signal envelopes high-frequency signal,and the oscillation curve whose low-frequency signal superimposes high-frequency signal.In addition,HPT experiment was carried out to validate the developed model.The surface roughness obtained in the experiment was Ra=53 nm,while the roughness obtained by the simulation was Ra=46 nm,achieving a prediction accuracy of 86.7%.Received 4 September 2022;revised 3 October 2022;accepted 17 October 2022.

文摘Hemispherical shell resonator(HSR)is the core component of hemispherical resonator gyro.It is aφ-shaped small-bore complex component with minimum curvature radius less than 3 mm.Thus,traditional polishing methods are difficult to polish it.Small ball-end magnetorheological polishing method can polish the small components with complicated three-dimensional surface and obtain non-destructive surface.Therefore,this method is suitable for polishing HSR.However,the material removal rate of the ordinary small ball-end magnetorheological polishing is low,leading to long polishing time and low output of HSR.To solve this problem,a water bath heating assisted small ball-end magnetorheological polishing method is proposed in this research.The influence rule of processing parameters on the material removal rate is studied experimentally.A set of optimal processing parameters is obtained to maximize the material removal rate.Compared with the ordinary method,the material removal rate of the new method can be improved by 143%.Subsequently,an HSR is polished by the new method.The results show that the polishing time can be reduced by 55%,and the polished surface roughness can reach 7.7 nm.The new method has the great potential to be used in actual production to improve the polishing efficiency of HSR.

文摘The reconstruction of muon energies is crucial for the data analysis of neutrino experiments using large water Cherenkov detectors,but the resolution for muon energy reconstruction using traditional methods is poor.Here,we propose a revised approach to remove noisy optical modules along the track produced by the propagation of muons through water.The number of photons on the optical modules is first corrected by the attenuation properties of light in water.Then the difference in time between the observed optical modules and the expected ones is determined based on the geometry of the triggered optical modules.Finally,the standard of correction is measured by the ratio of photon number before and after correction.Optical modules selection conditions were optimized according to these parameters,with most noisy optical modules successfully removed,improving the resolution of muon energy reconstruction.

文摘Alumina dispersion-strengthened copper (ADSC), as a representative particle-reinforced metal matrix composite (PRMMC), exhibits superior wear resistance and high strength. However, challenges arise in their processability because of the non-uniform material properties of biphasic materials. In particular, limited research has been conducted on the reinforcement mechanism and behavior of particles during material cutting deformation of PRMMC with nanoscale particles. In this study, a cutting simulation model for ADSC was established, separating the nanoscale reinforcement particles from the matrix. This model was utilized to analyze the interactions among particles, matrix, and tool during the cutting process, providing insights into chip formation and fracture. Particles with high strength and hardness are more prone to storing stress concentrations, anchoring themselves at grain boundaries to resist grain fibration, thereby influencing the stress distribution in the cutting deformation zone. Stress concentration around the particles leads to the formation of discontinuous chips, indicating that ADSC with high-volume fractions of particle (VFP) exhibits low cutting continuity, which is consistent with the results of cutting experiments. The tool tip that is in contact with particles experiences stress concentration, thereby accelerating tool wear. Cutting ADSC with 1.1% VFP results in tool blunting, which increases the radius of cutting edge from 0.5 to 1.9 μm, accompanied with remarkable coating delamination and wear. Simulation results indicate that the minimum uncut chip thickness increases from 0.04 to 0.07 μm as VFP increases from 0.3% to 1.1%. In conjunction with scratch experiments, MUCT increases with the augmentation of VFP. Computational analysis of the specific cutting force indicates that particles contribute to the material’s size effect. The results of this study provide theoretical guidance for practical engineering machining of ADSC, indicating its great importance for the process design of components made from ADSC.

文摘Nonlinear KH_(x)D_(2-x)PO_(4)crystal optics,e.g.second/third-harmonic generators,are components of high-energy/power laser facilities,which deliver and convert 1ω,2ω,and 3ωlasers to obtain extreme fusion ignition conditions(high pressures,high temperatures,etc.).A laser facility requires extremely high-precision and defect-free KH_(x)D_(2-x)PO_(4)optics with meter-sized apertures to control laser beams temporally,spatially,and spectrally,yielding great ultraprecision manufacturing challenges.Meanwhile,when irradiated by intense laser pulses,laser damage precursors(e.g.manufacturing-induced micro-cracks,scratches,and debris)in the optics would spark off laser-induced surface damage and damage growth,which have been the bottleneck problems preventing the promotion of the output energies of these laser facilities.Under this circumstance,a variety of advanced optical manufacturing techniques have been developed to regulate these precursors to improve the laser damage resistance of the optics.However,the damage thresholds(8-9 J/cm^(2))of these optics are still far below the intrinsic threshold of theKH_(x)D_(2-x)PO_(4)(147-200 J/cm^(2)).Furthermore,the batch engineering applications of these techniques remains challenged by the meter-sized apertures of the optics and their soft-brittle,easily deliquescent,anisotropic,and temperature-sensitive material properties,among others.This work summarises the development of state-of-the-art advanced manufacturing techniques and their problems applied in regulating laser damage precursors in the functional KH_(x)D_(2-x)PO_(4)optics.Because of their soft-brittle,deliquescent,anisotropic nature,etc.,these crystal optics are difficult to cut,and new damage precursors(i.e.corrosion,debris,tool marks)could be introduced in the manufacturing processes.The challenges and their solutions are emphatically discussed and analysed in this paper.The latest development trends for the manufacture of high-performance KH_(x)D_(2-x)PO_(4)optics with high laser damage resistance are also explored.This work could provide basis and guidance for the function-oriented highperformance manufacturing of KH_(x)D_(2-x)PO_(4)optics and other functional optics with similar material properties,advancing the development of high-energy/power laser facilities.

文摘Shale gas reservoirs are unconventional tight gas reservoirs,in which horizontal wells and hydraulic fracturing are required to achieve commercial development.The fracture networks created by hydraulic fracturing can increase the drainage area extensively to enhance shale gas recovery.However,large volumes of fracturing fluid that is difficult to flow back to the surface and remained in the shale formation,will inevitably lead to damages of the shale formations and limit the effectiveness of stimulation.Supercritical water(SCW)treatment after hydraulic fracturing is a new method to enhance shale gas recovery by using appropriate heat treatment methods to the specific formation to convert the retained fracturing fluid into a supercritical state(at temperatures in excess of 373.946°C and pressures in excess of 22.064 MPa).An experiment was conducted to simulate the reaction between shale and SCW,and the capacity of SCW treatment to enhance the permeability of the shale was evaluated by measuring the response of the shale porosity and permeability on SCW treatment.The experimental results show that the shale porosity and permeability increase by 213.43%and 2198.37%,respectively.The pore structure alteration and permeability enhancement of the shale matrix were determined by analyzing the changes in pore structure and mineral composition after SCW treatment.The mechanisms that affect pore structure and mineral composition include oxidative catalysis decomposition of organic matters and reducing minerals,acid-catalyzed decomposition of carbonate minerals and feldspar minerals,hydrothermal catalysis induced fracture extension and cementation weakening induced fracture extension.SCW treatment converts harm into a benefit by reducing the intrusion of harmful substances into the shale formation,which will broaden the scope and scale of shale formation stimulation.

文摘To determine whether a potassium dihydrogen phosphate(KDP)surface mitigated by micro-milling would potentially threaten downstream optics,we calculated the light-field modulation based on angular spectrum diffraction theory,and performed a laser damage test on downstream fused silica.The results showed that the downstream light intensification caused by a Gaussian mitigation pit of 800μm width and 10μm depth reached a peak value near the KDP rear surface,decreased sharply afterward,and eventually kept stable with the increase in downstream distance.The solved peak value of light intensification exceeded 6 in a range 8–19 mm downstream from the KDP rear surface,which is the most dangerous for downstream optics.Laser damage sites were then induced on the fused silica surface in subsequent laser damage tests.When the distance downstream was greater than 44 mm with a downstream light intensification of less than 3,there were no potential damage threats to downstream optics.The study proves that a mitigated KDP surface can cause laser damage to downstream optical components,to which attention should be paid in an actual application.Through this work,we find that the current manufacturing process and the mitigation index still need to be improved.The research methods and calculation models are also of great reference significance for related studies like optics mitigation and laser damage.
