• Evolution and control of deformation mechanisms in micro-grooving of Zr-based metallic glass

  P Qiu, B Meng, S Xu, Y Rong, J Yan

  Journal of Manufacturing Processes 68, 923-931 （Journal of Manufacturing Processes)  68   923 - 931 2021.08

  ISSN  15266125

  　View Summary

  The evolution of deformation mechanisms with increasing depth of cut (DOC) in micro-grooving of Zr-based metallic glass was deeply investigated in this study for the first time. The micro-grooving characteristics of metallic glass were initially studied by nanoscratch test, which verified that the material removal mode abruptly changes from extrusion mode to cutting mode with increase of DOC. Based on the free-volume theory, a dynamic model coupling stress, temperature and free volume concentration was used to simulate the change of deformation characteristics with DOC. The results showed that the deformation mechanism of metallic glass is closely related to free volume flow, which is significantly affected by average strain rate and free volume flow coefficient in deformation zone and can be tuned with different DOC. Considering that free volume flow is determined by its flow coefficient and concentration, we proposed to control the deformation characteristics of metallic glass in micro-grooving by heat treatment and verified its effectiveness experimentally.

• On the transformation between micro-concave and micro-convex in nanosecond laser ablation of a Zr-based metallic glass

  Y Qian, M Jiang, Z Zhang, H Huang, J Yan

  Journal of Manufacturing Processes 68, 1114-1122 （Journal of Manufacturing Processes)  68   1114 - 1122 2021.08

  ISSN  15266125

  　View Summary

  Understanding the physical mechanism of laser-material interaction is significant and meaningful in both pure science and engineering applications. Laser ablation induced micro-concave is a commonly-observed phenomenon, but the formation of micro-convex by laser ablation is rarely reported. In this study, the transformation in surface microstructure from micro-concave to micro-convex, then to micro-concave again was reported for the first time in laser ablation of a typical Zr-based metallic glass (MG). The experimental results indicated that such transformations strongly depended on the peak laser power intensity and number of laser pulses. The coupling effects of the recoil pressure and Marangoni flow were proposed to explain the observed transformation. By locally overlapping adjacent micro-convexes, various surface patterns could be fabricated on the MG surface, which could tune its surface wettability. This study would not only enhance the understanding of laser-MG interaction but also provide new methods for patterning MG surface.

• Evolution of high-pressure metastable phase Si-XIII during silicon nanoindentation: A molecular dynamics study

  Zhang L., Yan J.

  Computational Materials Science （Computational Materials Science)  191 2021.04

  ISSN  09270256

  　View Summary

  © 2021 Elsevier B.V. Berkovich indenters are widely employed in nanoindentation experiments of single-crystal silicon, in molecular dynamic simulations of silicon nanoindentation, however, spherical indenters are generally employed. To close this gap, in this paper, a series of molecular dynamic simulations are conducted on (0 0 1), (1 0 1), and (1 1 1) silicon surfaces to explore the evolution of high-pressure phases. Several possible silicon phases are tracked by coordination number (CN), radial distribution function (RDF), and angular distribution function (ADF). Results show that the metastable phases and the high-pressure phases present different symmetrical patterns along different crystallographic orientations. A large amount of high-pressure phase Si-XIII, which is seldomly observed in nanoindentation using a spherical indenter, is first discovered under the Berkovich indenter, and the evolution mechanism is characterized by tracking the position transition of labeled silicon atoms. As a transition phase for high-pressure phase Si-II and Si-XIII, bct5 phase is found in the {1 1 1} [1 1 0] slip systems, which is related with slipping flatten lattice structures. Different from the phase transformation criterion for Si-II, the transformation from Si-I to Si-XIII companies with the local elastic deformation of (0 0 1) surface. The atoms in the three neighboring unit cells are compressed into a uniform long-distance ordered crystal structure. Upon indenter extraction and rapid stress releasing, the elastic deformation of the crystal surface resumes incompletely. A part of Si-XIII recovers to pristine Si-I and the rest changes into amorphous phase. The distribution of local hydrostatic pressure and von Mises stress in the phase transformation regions indicates that the concentrated hydrostatic pressure and specific stress induce this high-pressure silicon phase. This research clarifies the evolutionary process of Si-XIII phase generation and enriches fundamental understanding on the mechanisms of silicon phase transformations in nanoindentation.

• Annealed high-phosphorus electroless Ni–P coatings for producing molds for precision glass molding

  Yu Q., Zhou T., He Y., Liu P., Wang X., Jiang Y., Yan J.

  Materials Chemistry and Physics （Materials Chemistry and Physics)  262 2021.04

  ISSN  02540584

  　View Summary

  © 2021 Elsevier B.V. An annealed high-phosphorus electroless Ni–P coating was developed as the mold material for precision glass molding. The coating with a phosphorus content of 11.6 wt% was prepared on heat-resistant stainless steel via an intermittent ultrasonic-assisted electroless plating method. The effects of annealing temperature and heating rate on phase transformation, grain size variation, and mechanical properties were investigated. An annealing temperature of 600 °C with a heating rate of 5 °C/min was determined to be the optimal choice for heat treatment. Microgrooves were machined on the coating surface. After heat treatment, the increased hardness and modulus helped the microgrooves on the coating resist thermal deformation during the PGM process. The PV value decreased from 0.58 to 0.32 μm, and the surface roughness decreased from Sa 104.5 to Sa 62.6 nm. The mold produced by heat-treated coating was beneficial for improving the forming accuracy of precision glass molding.

• Deterministic error compensation for slow tool servo-driven diamond turning of freeform surface with nanometric form accuracy

  Nagayama K., Yan J.

  Journal of Manufacturing Processes （Journal of Manufacturing Processes)  64   45 - 57 2021.04

  ISSN  15266125

  　View Summary

  © 2021 The Society of Manufacturing Engineers Slow tool servo (STS) turning takes an important role in fabrication of freeform optical elements. However, in conventional STS turning, it is technologically difficult to obtain nanometer-level form accuracy due to multiple error factors such as tool trajectory errors, tool alignment errors and dynamic follow-up errors of machine tools used. In this study, a deterministic process flow was proposed where all the main error factors were comprehensively analyzed, simulated and then compensated before machining based on the feedforward method, and the workpiece form error after compensation was predicted accurately. The proposed process flow enabled achieving nanometer-level form accuracy by a single cut without the necessity of repetitive trial-and-error. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, cutting tests of a two-dimensional sine wave grid were attempted on single-crystal silicon and the proposed error compensation was applied. As a result, the form error was reduced to 8 nm P–V (peak to valley) with a surface roughness of 1 nm Sa by a single cut.
