Avaliou-se a influência de dois sistemas de acabamento e polimento na resistência à flexão de uma cerâmica feldspática EX-3 (Noritake). Para isto, confeccionou-se blocos cerâmicos com medidas em conformidade com a ISO 6872/1995. Em seguida obteve-se o glaze natural. A padronização da rugosidade superficial foi conferida com auxílio de um rugosímetro, e os blocos foram então divididos em cinco grupos. O Grupo I (controle) foi testado com glaze. Para os testes realizados nos demais grupos, os blocos receberam um tratamento de asperização por meio de uma ponta diamantada 4137 (KG Sorensen). Em seguida foram polidos com diferentes protocolos. No grupo II, o sistema de polimento dura white (Shofu). No grupo III, o sistema de polimento dura white (shofu) associado a uma pasta diamantada aplicada com disco de feltro. No grupo IV o sistema de polimento Exa Cerapol (Edenta) e no grupo V, este mesmo sistema mais pasta diamantada aplicada com disco de feltro. Após os procedimentos de acabamento e polimento, foi avaliada a rugosidade conseguida (Ra), para se avaliar a eficácia dos métodos testados. A análise estatística por ANOVA (p ≤ 0,05) mostrou não haver diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos (G2=3,820,58; G3=3,550,61; G4=4,050,40; G5=3,950.47) . Feito isto, os corpos-de-prova foram submetidos a um ensaio mecânico de resistência à flexão em três pontos, e também neste caso, os resultados depois de tratados estatisticamente não demonstraram diferenças estatísticas entre os grupos glazeados e os grupos que receberam tratamento (G1=132,126,9 MPa; G2=123,317,4 MPa; G3=114,519,3 MPa; G4=104,211,9 MPa e G5=104,719,1 MPa) . Após a realização destas avaliações, tornou-se possível concluir que o uso dos sistemas de acabamento e polimento testados neste trabalho permite obter superfícies com rugosidade similar a obtida com o glaze natural e não interferem na resistência à flexão da cerâmica utilizada. / The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of two systems of finishing and polishing in the flexural resistance of feldspatic ceramic EX-3 (Noritake). Ceramic blocks with measures in compliance with ISO 6872/1995 were confectioned following the manufacturers instructions. After the confection of the blocks and attainment of natural glaze, the standardization in terms of superficial rugosity was evaluated by means of a rugosimeter, and the blocks were then divided into five groups. One of the groups was tested in this condition (natural glaze) being Group I (control). For the tests carried through the other groups, the blocks were burnished by means of a 4137 (KG Sorensen) diamond bur. After that, they were polished with different protocols which characterized the other groups. In group II, the Dura white (Shofu) polishing system was evaluated. In group III, the same system was used, but now followed by a diamond paste in a felt wheel, In group IV, the polishing system Exa Cerapol (Edenta) was used and in the group V, this system was followed by a diamond paste in a felt wheel. After these procedures, the obtained rugosities were evaluated (Ra), in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the tested methods. The statistical analysis of ANOVA (p ≤ 0,05) showed that there were not statistical significant differences between the groups (G2=3.820.58; G3=3.550.61; G4=4.050.40; G5=3.950.47). After that, the specimen were submitted to a three points flexural strength test in a universal testing machine, and also in this case that, the statistically treated results didnt demonstrate statistical differences between the groups (G1=132.126.9 MPa; G2=123.317.4 MPa; G3=114.519.3 MPa; G4=104.211.9 MPa e G5=104.719.1 MPa). It was possible to conclude that the use of the tested systems allows to get polished surfaces similar to the natural glazed ones. and that they dont decrease the flexural resistance of the used ceramics.

Al 7050-T7451 alloy with good combinations of strength, stress corrosion cracking resistance and toughness, is used broadly in the aerospace/aviation industry for fatigue-critical airframe structural components. However, it is also considered as a highly anisotropic alloy as the crack growth behavior along the short transverse direction is very different from the one in the long transverse direction, due to the inhomogeneous microstructure with the elongated grains distributed in the work material used in the sheet/plate applications. Further processes on these materials are needed to improve its mechanical and material properties and broaden its applications. The material with ultra-fine or nano grains exhibits improved wear and corrosion resistance, higher hardness and better fatigue life, compared to the one with coarse grains. In recent times, the development of novel processing technologies has gained great attention in the research community to enhance the properties of the materials employed in the aerospace, biomedical, precision instrument, automotive, nuclear/power industries. These novel processing technologies modify the microstructure of this alloy and improve the properties. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the effects of cryogenic processes, including friction stir processing (FSP), machining and burnishing, on Al 7050-T7451 alloy to solve the inhomogeneity issue and improve its surface integrity. FSP is applied to modify the microstructure of Al 7050-T7451 alloy for achieving more homogeneous structure with near ultra-fine grains (UFG) which were less than 2 µm, particularly in cryogenic FSP with liquid nitrogen as the coolant. Approximately 10% increase could be observed from the hardness measurement from the samples processed by cryogenic FSP, in contrast to dry FSP. Also, the texture change from Al (200) to Al (111) could be achieved in all the samples processed by dry and cryogenic FSP. Cryogenic machining and burnishing processes were also applied to enhance the surface integrity of the manufactured components with near-UFG structure. The highest cutting temperature was reduced by up to 44.7% due to the rapid cooling effect of liquid nitrogen in cryogenic machining, compared with dry machining. Nano grains were produced in the refined layers induced by cryogenic burnishing. And, up to 35.4% hardness increase was obtained within the layer depth of 200 µm in the cryogenically-burnished surface. A numerical finite element method (FEM) model was developed for predicting the process performance in burnishing. Less than 10% difference between the experimental and predicted burnishing forces was achieved in the simulation of cryogenic burnishing, and reasonable predictions were also achieved for temperatures, severe plastic deformation (SPD) layers.

The functional performance of joint implants is largely determined by the surface layer properties in contact. Wear/debris-induced osteolysis and aseptic loosening has been identified as the major cause of failure of metal-on-metal joint implants. A crucial requirement for the long-term stability of the artificial joint is to minimize the release of debris particles. Severe plastic deformation (SPD) processes have been used to modify the surface integrity properties by generating ultrafine, or even nano-sized grains and grain size gradients in the surface region of many materials. These fine grained materials often exhibit enhanced surface integrity properties and improved functional performance (wear resistance, corrosion resistance, fatigue life, etc.) compared with their conventional coarse grained counterparts. The aim of the present work is to investigate the effect of a SPD process, cryogenic burnishing, on the surface integrity modifications of a Co-Cr-Mo alloy, and the resulting wear performance of this alloy due to the burnishing-induced surface integrity properties. A systematic experimental study was conducted to investigate the influence of different burnishing parameters on distribution of grain size, phase structure and residual stresses of the processed material. The wear performance of the processed Co-Cr-Mo alloy was tested via pin-on-disk wear tests. The results from this work show that the cryogenic burnishing can significant improve the surface integrity of the Co-Cr-Mo alloy which would finally lead to advanced wear performance due to refined microstructure, high hardness, compressive residual stresses and favorable phase structure on the surface layer. A finite element model (FEM) was developed for predicting the grain size changes during burnishing of Co-Cr-Mo alloy under both dry and cryogenic conditions. A new material model was used for incorporating flow stress softening and associated grain size refinement caused by the dynamic recrystallization (DRX). The new material model was implemented in a commercial FEM software as a customized user subroutine. Good agreement between predictions and experimental observations was achieved. Encouraging trends are revealed with great potential for application in industry.

Le procédé de tournage galetage (CoTuB) est un traitement d'usinage innovant réalisant les procédés de tournage et de galetage à billes simultanément et sur la même machine-outil. L'objectif du procédé combiné est d'améliorer l'intégrité de surface et en même temps d'augmenter la productivité par rapport aux traitements conventionnels de surface et les procédés d'usinage. En adoptant un plan d’expérience, il a été démontré qu'une amélioration considérable de l’intégrité de surface pourrait être obtenue en utilisant le nouveau procédé combiné et en sélectionnant les paramètres appropriés. Pour effectuer une étude paramétrique, un ensemble d'expériences basées sur un plan d’expérience de type Taguchi complété par une analyse de la variance (ANOVA) a été réalisée. Le but de cette étude expérimentale est d'identifier les paramètres optimaux du tournage / galetage lors du traitement de l'acier 42 Cr Mo 4 permettant de donner une intégrité de surface optimale.Pour une meilleure compréhension des phénomènes impliqués lors du procédé combiné d'usinage / galetage, des approches et méthodologies numériques ont été développées afin de reproduire le procédé combiné. Une nouvelle approche numérique, appelée «Approche Mixte», est développée et utilisée afin de simplifier la simulation du procédé combiné. Cette approche combine des données expérimentales et numériques afin de déterminer la forme et de quantifier les chargements thermiques et mécaniques exercés par l'outil de coupe sur la surface usinée sur chaque zone de cisaillement. Cette nouvelle méthode a permis d'effectuer une simulation 3D du procédé de tournage-galetage combiné et permet de simuler plusieurs passages des outils autour de la surface usinée. La simulation permet de prédire les contraintes résiduelles induites par le procédé combiné et la comparaison révèle un bon accord entre les résultats numériques et expérimentaux. / The Combined Turning-Burnishing (CoTuB) process is an innovative machining treatment that performs turning and ball-burnishing processes simultaneously and on the same machine tool. The aim of performing the combined process is to enhance surface integrity and increase productivity at the same time when compare to conventional surface treatment and machining processes. Based on adopting design of experiments, it has been depicted that a considerable improvement in surface quality could be obtained meaning the new combined process by using the suitable process parameters. In order to carry out a parametric study, a set of experiments based on Taguchi method completed with a statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed. The aim of this experimental investigation is to identify the optimal turning/burnishing parameters when treating AISI 4140 steel. This helps to get an optimal surface integrity. For a better understanding of the phenomena involved during combined machining / burnishing processes, numerical approaches and methodologies for reproducing the combined turning-burnishing process have been performed. A new approach, called the "Mixed Approach", is developed and used in order to simplify the simulation of the combined process. This approach combines experimental and numerical data in order to determine shape and to quantify thermal and mechanical loadings exerted by the cutting tool on the machined surface on each shear zone. This new method allowed to perform a 3D simulation of combined turning-burnishing and allows to model several tool passages on the machined surface. The simulation allows to predict residual stresses induced by the combined process and the comparison reveals good agreements between numerical and experimental results.
