A nanotecnologia não é mais um sonho, já faz parte da nossa realidade, do nosso dia a dia. É considerada, por muitos, a quinta Revolução Industrial, uma revolução tecnológica de grande abrangência, que poderá causar impactos talvez sem precedentes na história. A soma anual dos investimentos nesta nova tecnologia é de bilhões de dólares. Devido às inovações oriundas da nanotecnologia, os processos da manufatura e a medição de ultra-precisão vêm se desenvolvendo a cada dia. A nanotecnologia fez da usinagem de ultraprecisão com ferramenta de diamante uma grande aplicação na produção de itens de alto volume, tais como: disco de memória de computadores, lentes de contato, moldes de dentes, cilindros para impressão, espelhos metálicos. A alta integridade da superfície é requerida em todos os itens obtidos por este processo. Em conseqüência, é necessário um método de medição que seja o mais exato possível, isto é, que chegue a resultados o mais próximo possível do valor verdadeiro. Mas o que significa exatidão para uma análise ideal da superfície, uma vez que não existe referência para isso? Superfícies têm sido avaliadas por meio da medição da rugosidade, a qual consiste na determinação de um valor médio, de vários setores, dentro de valores limites preestabelecidos. A metrologia, através de seus métodos e princípios, é um importante instrumento para validar modelos e teorias. O conceito que \"uma vez testado, passa a ser aceito em qualquer lugar\". Daí a crescente necessidade de resultados de medições confiáveis que possam ser validados em qualquer lugar e a qualquer tempo. Assim, um caminho a ser seguido é o de se entenderem profundamente todos os métodos e princípios envolvidos nas operações de medição de rugosidade. E para que um método seja metrologicamente válido (ou aceitável), faz-se necessário realizarem-se comparações de diversas medições, de um mesmo mensurando, utilizando métodos diversos. Havendo discrepância nos resultados, é uma evidência de que as premissas e hipóteses levaram a acreditar que a teoria ou modelo adotado deve ser reavaliado. Este trabalho selecionou os três métodos mais utilizados na caracterização da integridade de superfícies técnicas obtida em torneamento de ultraprecisão com diamante, e descreveu uma metodologia para a avaliação da capabilidade do processo de controle de superfícies técnicas usinadas em torno de ultraprecisão. / Nanotechnology is no longer a dream. It is part of the real world. It is considered by many people as the fifth Industrial Revolution, a technological revolution of great impact in history. The world annual investment in this technology reaches billions of dollars. Due to innovations related to nanotechnology, ultraprecision manufacturing processes and metrology is developing steeply. Nanotechnology made single point diamond turning an important mass production process of, for instance, computer hard discs, contact lenses, moulds, printer cylinders, metallic mirrors, etc. High grade surface integrity is required of items produced by this process. As a consequence, it is necessary to use a measurement method which is most accurate as possible, i.e., resulting in a value as close as possible to the true. But what does true mean if there is no reference for that? Surfaces have been assessed by roughness measurements which determines a mean value of several sectors within pre-determined limits. Metrology, with its methods and principles, is an important instrument to validate models and theories. The concept, once tested, becomes accepted everywhere. Therefore the increasing necessity of reliable measurement results which may be validated anywhere and any time. Thus, it is essential a deep understanding of all methods and principles involved in roughness metrology operations. For a method to be metrologically accepted, it is necessary that it is compared with different methods. In the event of existing discrepancies, the premisses and hypotheses which fundamented the theory or model should be reassessed. Three of the most used methods have been selected to characterize the surface integrity of technical surfaces generated by diamond turning. A methodology to assess the capability of the process of control of those surfaces is proposed.

Este trabalho teve por objetivo estudar o efeito dos parâmetros de corte e dos tratamentos térmicos na usinagem de três aços inoxidáveis austeníticos (ABNT 303, 304 e 310). Estes aços apresentam mesma estrutura cristalina e microestrutura semelhante. O aço ABNT 303 tem composição próxima ao ABNT 304, exceto pelo elevado teor de enxofre. Já o aço ABNT 310 apresenta maiores teores de elementos de ligas. Esses materiais foram tratados termicamente (solubilização ou envelhecimento). Os aços estudados foram caracterizados microestruturalmente e foram realizadas medidas de dureza Vickers. Os aços foram então torneados em várias condições de usinagem, variando principalmente a relação avanço por profundidade de corte. Foram medidas as forças de corte e de avanço em algumas das condições e coletados os cavacos resultantes para análise morfológica, que foram realizadas utilizando-se principalmente microscopia óptica e eletrônica de varredura. Foram também medidas as rugosidades e determinados os perfis das superfícies usinadas para a avaliação do acabamento superficial. Os resultados obtidos neste trabalho permitiram determinar algumas diferenças no comportamento dos três aços inoxidáveis estudados. As maiores diferenças foram verificadas quando as superfícies foram observadas utilizando microscopia. O aço ABNT 303 apresentou as piores superfícies e os menores esforços de corte em relação aos aços ABNT 304 e 310. A utilização de diferentes ferramentas neste trabalho mostrou influência principalmente na formação do cavaco, não tendo muita influencia nos esforços de corte e tão pouco no acabamento superficial. Os tratamentos térmicos realizados propiciaram a formação de outras fases, as quais causaram alterações na microestrutura. No entanto, esses tratamentos térmicos não alteraram de forma significativa o processo de torneamento. Finalmente, a formação de martensitas induzidas por deformação foi identificada no cavaco, mas não pode ser quantificada. / The main objective of this work is to study and evaluate the effect of cutting parameters, the cutting tool and the heat treatments in the turning process of three different types of austenitic stainless steels (ABNT 303, 304 e 310). The steels studied are structurally and microstructurally comparable. The chemical composition of the ABNT 303 and the ABNT 304 is similar except for the presence of sulfur in the ABNT 303 steel which alloeds the manganese sulfide formation. On the other hand, the ABNT 310 steel is richer in alloying elements and has lower tendency to strain induced martensite formation than the other steels studied. The steels studied were also heat treated in different conditions (annealed and aged). The materials were microstructurally characterized and Vickers hardness was also measured. The turning tests were carried out by using different cutting parameters, mainly the feedcutting depth relations. These relations lead to a plane state of tension or a plane state of deformation. The cutting and feed forces were measured during turning tests. During the tests the chips were also collected for morphological analysis through optical and scanning electron microscopies. The roughness and the surfaces characteristics were also determined to evaluate the surface finishing. The major difference in the steels turned was related to surface finishing observed by using optical and scanning electron microscopies. On the whole, the ABNT 303 steel presented the worst surface and the lowest cutting forces. However, the differences among all results were not significant. The tests carried out also showed there was not considerable difference between the tools used except for the chip morphology. The heat treatments led to precipitation in the steels studied and changes in their microstructure. However, the microstructural changes hardly affected the results of the turning tests. Finally, the martensite formation was detected although this phase could be not quantified.

Porém, a baixa tenacidade deste tipo de ferramenta a torna muito sensível a avarias causadas por vibrações, que são críticas nas operações as quais a peça ou a ferramenta são suscetíveis a grandes deflexões. Este trabalho busca contribuir com o estudo de vibrações no torneamento interno de furos do aço AISI 4340 endurecido, em condições de acabamento. Foram testadas diferentes condições de usinagem, diferentes suportes (aço, metal duro e equipada com amortecedor de partículas) e foram avaliados o acabamento, os sinais de aceleração (vibração) da ferramenta e o desgaste dos insertos de cBN. Os resultados obtidos mostram que as vibrações podem assumir papel secundário no acabamento superficial, que a usinagem com ferramentas de geometria definida pode substituir a retificação em alguns casos e que a utilização de amortecedores passivos pode ser uma solução simples para a usinagem de furos mais longos / Abstract: The machining of hardened materials with hardness over 45 HRC, emerges as an alternative to grinding in the 70s, with the commercial availability of Cubic Boron Nitride (cBN) tools. However, the low toughness of this type of tool makes it very sensitive to damage caused by vibrations, which are critical in the operations which the part or tool are susceptible to large deflections. This work aims to contribute to the study of vibrations in internal turning of holes in hardened AISI 4340 steel in finishing conditions. Different machining conditions and different tool holders (steel, carbide and equipped with particle damper) were tested. The surface finish, the acceleration (vibration) signals and tool wear of cBN inserts were evaluated. The results show that the vibration can take a secondary role in the surface finish, the machining with defined geometry tools can replace grinding in some cases, and the use of passive dampers can be a simple solution for machining longer holes / Doutorado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Doutor em Engenharia Mecânica

Uma das formas de se atingir alto nível nesse quesito é a diminuição dos custos de fabricação. A usinagem é um dos processos de fabricação mais importantes quando se necessita de tolerâncias mais precisas. Dentro da usinagem, um dos processos que apresentam maior custo é a retificação. As retificadoras são máquinas mais caras e menos flexíveis, com baixas taxas de remoção de cavaco. Além disso, esse processo demanda abundância de fluido de corte, que atualmente, apresenta alto custo, principalmente de descarte. Nos últimos tempos os processos de torneamento, principalmente suas ferramentas de corte, desenvolveram-se muito, possibilitando a obtenção de valores muito baixos de rugosidade e tolerâncias tanto dimensionais quanto geométricas. Assim, a retificação tem sido substituída, sempre que possível, pelo torneamento. Neste trabalho foi feita uma tentativa de substituição do processo de retificação de alguns diâmetros do eixo comando, pelo processo de torneamento. Para isso, foram feitas diversas melhorias no processo de torneamento utilizado atualmente. Dentre essas melhorias, pode-se mencionar o sistema de fixação da peça, a utilização de uma luneta, o sistema de fixação da ferramenta. Após essas melhorias, diferentes condições de corte e materiais de ferramentas foram testados visando atingir-se as especificações de produto. Os resultados obtidos permitiram a eliminação da retificação de dois diâmetros dentre os cinco estudados. Para os demais, é possível eliminar-se a retificação desde que a engenharia de produto altere a especificação de rugosidade. Porém, a substituição dos dois diâmetros já implicou numa redução substancial de custos / Abstract: The search for industrial competitiveness has been the tonic lately. One mean of achieving high level in this item is a manufacturing cost reduces. Machining is one of the most important manufacturing processes when more precise tolerances are a must. Among the machining processes, grinding is one that presents higher costs. The grinding machines are more expensive and less flexible than others, besides they present low chip removal rate. Moreover, this process demands high amounts of cutting fluid, representing high costs nowadays, mainly to discard the fluid. Lately the turning processes, especially its cutting tools, has presented a deeply development, turning it possible the achieving of very low values for surface roughness and tight dimensional and geometrical tolerances. Therefore, the grinding process has been replaced, whenever it is possible, by turning processes. In this work, it was done an attempt of replacing the grinding of some diameters of the camshaft, by the turning process. To do this, some improvements in the used turning process were done. Among these improvements it can be mentioned the workpiece device fixturing, the introduction of a steady rest and the cutting tool holder. After these improvements, different cutting conditions and cutting tool materials was tested aiming to achieve the product specifications. The attained results allowed the grinding process elimination for two diameters among five studied. To the other ones, it is possible to eliminate the grinding operations since the product engineering change the surface roughness specification. The replacement to the two diameters has already implicated in a substantial cost reduction / Mestrado / Manufatura / Mestre em Engenharia Automobilistica

A combinação do alto teor deste elemento mais a estrutura desse material faz com que ele seja muito difícil de ser usinado. Devido a esta dificuldade e carência de informações a respeito da usinagem desse material, o objetivo deste trabalho foi buscar uma combinação de ferramenta e parâmetros de corte que apresentassem uma vida da ferramenta em torno de 15 minutos, valor considerado viável economicamente pela prática industrial. Para isso foram testadas ferramentas de metal duro com duas geometrias diferentes, quatro tipos de revestimentos (TiAlN, TiAlN-TiN, TiCN-Al2O3-TiN e Al2O3) além da ferramenta de metal duro sem revestimento. Foram testadas também ferramentas cerâmicas (Al2O3 (pura), Si3N4 (sialon), Al2O3+SiCw (whiskers)) e de CBN. Dentre os ensaios realizados, a ferramenta de metal duro com a geometria CNMX e revestimento TiAlN apresentou uma taxa de desgaste menor que as demais testadas com uma vida de aproximadamente 17 minutos de corte / Abstract: The super alloy Inconel 713C is an alloy whose main element of its composition is nickel. The combination of high levels of this element and the structure of this material makes it very difficult to be transformed by the machining process. Because of this difficulty and lack of information about the machining of this material, the purpose of this study was to find a combination of tool and cutting parameters to present a tool life of around 15 minutes, which is considered economically viable for industrial practice. To achieve this purpose it was tested cemented carbide tools with two different geometries, four types of coatings (TiAlN, TiN, TiAlN, TiCN-Al2O3-TiN and Al2O3) in addition to the carbide tool without coating were tested. Tools were also tested ceramics (Al2O3 (pure), Si3N4 (sialon) + Al2O3 SiCw (whiskers)) and CBN. Among the tests, the carbide tool geometry CNMX and coating TiAlN presented a lower wear rate than the others tested with a life of approximately 17 minutes of cutting / Mestrado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

Mechanisms of thyristor turn-on wore studied. An attempt was made to relate the ‘on’ plasma spreading velocity to the small signal current gain value of the n-p-n transistor section of the thyristor. The extent to which the thyristor turns on initially largely affects the speed of turning-on the device. A model is proposed to calculate the initial turned-on area of thyristors.

This thesis presents a multi-physics-based approach to the design and analysis of smart cutting tools for emerging industrial requirements, within an innovative design process. The design process is in stages according to design specifications and requires analysis, conceptual design, detailed design, prototype production and service testing. The research presented in the thesis follows the design process but focuses on the detailed design of the smart turning tool, including mechanical design, electrical wiring and sensor circuitry, embedded algorithms development, and multi-physics-based simulation for the tool system integration, design analysis and optimisation. The thesis includes the introduction of the research background, a critical literature review of the research topic, a multi-physics-based design and analysis of the smart cutting tool, a mechanical structural detail design of the prototype smart turning tool, the electrical system design focusing on cutting force measurement and embedded wireless communication features, and the final experimental testing and calibration of the smart cutting tool. The contributions to knowledge are highlighted in the conclusions chapter towards the end of the thesis. The research proposes multi-physics-based design and analysis concepts for a smart turning tool, which can measure the cutting forces on a 0.1 N scale and can also be used to monitor the tool condition, particularly for ultraprecision and micro-machining purposes. The smart turning tool is a sensored tool, constructed with wireless and plug-and-produce features. The tool design modelling and simulation was undertaken within a multi-physics modelling and analysis environment-based on COMSOL. This integrates the piezoelectric physics with mechanical structural design and radio frequency electronic communications of cutting force signals. The multi-physics simulation method takes account of all design-mechanics-physics-electronics analysis and transformations simultaneously within one computational environment, including FEA analysis, modal analysis, structural deformation, lead piezoelectric effect and wireless data/signal simulation. With the multi-physics simulation developed, the integrated design of the smart turning tool and its performance can be physically analysed and optimised in a virtual environment. The tool design process follows the total design methodology, which can be strictly executed in several design stages. Both mechanical and electrical design of the smart cutting tool are embodied into the tool detail design. The tool mechanical structure is systematically built from the selection of the tool material, through the structure analysis and further progressed with static force – strain/stress transformation, equivalent force measurement and calibration. The electrical circuitry was systematically developed from developing the customised charge amplifier, detail design of the main circuitry and coding development procedure, preliminary PCB fabrication and multi-sensor port PCB development, as well as the real-time cutting force monitoring programming and interface coding. The experiment calibrations and cutting trials with the tool system are also designed in light of the total design methodology. The experiment procedure for using the smart turning tool is further presented in two different sections. The thesis concludes with a further discussion on the main research findings, which are further supported by the highlighted contributions to knowledge and recommendations for future work.

Dans l’optique de maîtriser l’industrialisation des pièces complexes, les efforts de coupe sont une source riche d’informations. Bien que la prédiction des efforts de coupe soit un sujet largement traité par la communauté scientifique, quelques verrous subsistent. Les travaux de cette étude visent à enrichir les modèles existants sous deux principaux aspects : une étude approfondie de l’influence des conditions de contact en dépouille associées à la géométrie de pièce et l’effet de l’usure de l’outil sur l’évolution des efforts de coupe au cours du temps. Pour ce faire, plusieurs expérimentations instrumentées sont réalisées afin de déterminer les paramètres influents à introduire dans les modélisations. S’appuyant sur ces observations, des modélisations, selon une approche phénoménologique, sont développées pour estimer respectivement le niveau d’usure de l’outil, les efforts de coupe et leur évolution fonction au cours du temps. Ces développements sont conduits pour les techniques de fraisage, de tournage intérieur et de tournage extérieur appliquées à l’usinage de l’alliage de titane aéronautique Ti6Al4V. Les méthodologies présentées dans cette étude sont transposables vers d’autres nuances d’alliages de titane afin de couvrir un domaine d’application large en industrie. / In order to control complex parts industrialization, cutting forces can be relevant data. Although cutting force prediction is a well-known subject by the scientific community, it still exists some ways of improvement. This research work focuses on the cutting force modelling enhancement according to two main points. Firstly, an analysis of clearance face contact conditions, linked to part geometry, effect on cutting forces. Secondly, the effect of flank wear on cutting force evolution with respect to the time. Based on experiments, in order to highlight relevant parameters to introduce in the new model, cutting force and flank wear models are formulated according to mechanistic approach. These developments are applied in milling, turning (boring, cylindrical turning and face turning) onTi6Al4V titanium alloy. Methodologies presented in this study can be easily adapted to others titanium alloys shades in order to cover large industrial range of applications.

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.

Since the effects caused by drugs and criminality puts a strain on society's resources it is important to find ways of preventing individuals from starting these behaviours and to find out how people who already developed them, are able to desist from them. The processes that cause life to take positive or negative turns are very complex and hard to understand. The best way of exploring these processes were by asking the people who have experienced them to explain their perception of them. If recurring factors between these processes could be found, it could be of great meaning for the development of new treatment methods. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine if there were recurring factors in the individual negative and positive turning point processes of people recovering from criminality and substance abuse, by analysing the participants own life stories. A narrative approach was chosen and the sample consisted of members from the local KRIS organization, who all had a history of criminal behaviour and drug addiction. The data collection was conducted through narrative interview method and a holistic-content method was used in the analysis together with an application of the Age-graded theory of informal social control on the results. The study found that there were different sorts of connections between the processes, but that these were individually formed after each person's own life-course. The negative turning point processes showed more similarities between the participants than the positive turning point processes. The conclusion was that attachments to family and the social context one chooses to be a part of, were recurring factors which had important effects on both the negative and the positive turning point process. Informal social control through attachments to society and family seemed to affect criminality and the use of drugs in general. / <p>2017-06-01</p>
