Zunächst wird die BAM vorgestellt. Anschließend wird die Messung bzw. Bestimmung der Amplitude der Ultraschallunterstützung erläutert, gefolgt von Schlichtfräsexperimenten an AM-Bauteilen aus einer schwer spanbaren FeNi-Legierung. Es werden die Ergebnisse der Zerspankraft, der Rauheit und der Eigenspannungen vorgestellt.
Ni alloys are cost intensive materials and generally classified as difficult-to-cut materials. However, machining of these materials is needed especially in case of alloy 36 (1.3912), which is commonly used in mould construction for the production of fibre-reinforced composites. With regard to repair, modification and manufacturing of such components, additive manufacturing offers significant economic advantages. Nevertheless, subsequent machining steps are needed to achieve the final component contour and defined surface conditions. Dependent on the material and machining process conditions, detrimental tensile residual stresses may be the result on the machined surface, having negative impact on the component performance and safety. Recent studies exhibited that hybrid machining processes, such as ultrasonic-assisted milling (USAM), are suitable for achieving favourable residual stress states at the surface of difficult-to-cut Ni-Cr alloys. In this investigation, wire arc additive manufactured (WAAM) specimens of alloy 36 were finish milled under different milling conditions. In addition to the machined surfaces condition and topology, the surface-near residual stresses were analysed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Especially for low cutting speeds, significantly improved surface properties, roughness parameters and lower mechanical and microstructural degradations were found for the specimen machined with USAM compared to conventional milling. The improved surface integrity could furthermore be observed by a significant reduction of the tensile residual stresses in the surface boundary area.

Es werden erzielte Ergebnisse des ultraschallunterstützen Schlichtfräsens einer schwer spanbaren FeNi-Legierung vorgestellt. Dabei wird der Einfluss der Amplitude der Ultraschallunterstützung auf die Zerspankraft sowie die Oberflächenintegrität untersucht, wobei ein besonderer Fokus auf die Passivkraft gelegt wird. Die Ultraschallunterstützung bedingt beim Schlichtfräsen der Alloy 36 im Vergleich zum konventionellen Fräsprozess eine signifikante Reduzierung der resultierenden Zerspankraft sowie der Rauheit. Außerdem werden oberflächennahen Druckeigenspannungen induziert. Eine Angehobene Osziallations-Amplitude beim ultraschallunterstützten Fräsen bewirkt eine Erhöhung des Anteils der Passivkraft an der resultierenden Zerspankraft sowie eine Erhöhung der oberflächennahen Druckeigenspannungen und eine Verringerung von Oberflächendefekten und Rauheitskennwerten.
Alloy 36 (1.3912), also known as “Invar”, is an alloy with 36% nickel. It was developed in 1897 by Guillaume and stands out for its very low thermal expansion coefficient. It is classified as a difficult-to-cut material and is commonly used for the production of fiber-reinforced composites in the field of mold construction. Additive manufacturing (AM) offers many economic advantages regarding the repair, modification and manufacture of entire components. Subsequent machining of the AM components is necessary to account for complex structures, final contours or defined surfaces. This is usually done using a tool with a geometrically defined cutting edge, i.e., milling processes. Surface integrity is determined by metallurgical (e.g., microstructure of the subsurface), topological (e.g., surface defects, roughness) and mechanical (e.g., residual stresses) factors, which is crucial in terms of component safety and performance. Modern, hybrid cutting processes, such as ultrasonic-assisted milling (US), provide potentially improvement of the cutting situation of these components.
In part I of this investigation, the initial alloy 36 is modified with the elements Ti, Zr and Nb up to a maximum of 1 wt.-%. The influence of the modification elements on the microstructure as well as on the hardness of the AM components is examined. Part II focusses on the effect of the alloy modifications on machinability as well as on the surface integrity of plasma-transferred-arc-welded (PTA) and finish milled invar components.
The results show a significant positive influence of ultrasonic assistance on the resulting cutting force of both materials. The modification with 1% Ti shows a positive influence on the surface integrity, as the roughness of the conventional machining processes is lower compared to the initial alloy, which has to be confirmed in further experiments.
Ni alloys are generally classified as difficult-to-cut materials and cost intensive. Additive manufacturing (AM) offers economic advantages. However, machining of these AM components is mandatory to create the final contour or surface. The inhomogeneous and anisotropic microstructure and properties of AM components causes an unstable cutting process. Moreover, undesirable tensile residual stresses are generated due to subsequent machining. In this investigation, the initial alloy 36 is modified with Ti and Nb up to 1.6 wt.-% and build-up welded via gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and plasma-transferred-arc (PTA). Then, finish-milling tests are carried out to investigate the influence of the modification as well as the cutting parameters on the resulting cutting force and the surface integrity. In addition, the conventional milling process (CM) is compared with the ultrasonic-assisted milling process (US), which has a significant influence on the machinability as well as on the surface integrity.

Subsequent machining of the AM components is necessary to account for complex structures, final contours or defined surfaces. In part I of this investigation, the initial alloy 36 is modified with the elements Ti, Zr and Hf up to a maximum of 0.33 wt.-%. The influence of the modification elements on the microstructure as well as on the hardness of the AM components is examined. Part II focusses on the effect of the alloy modifications on machinability as well as on the surface integrity of plasma-transferred-arc-welded (PTA) and finish milled invar components. Machining tests were carried out, to investigate the influence of ultrasonic assistance and the effects of modification elements Ti, Zr and Hf on the occurring cutting forces, temperatures and resulting surface integrity of the AM components made of alloy 36 and their modifications. The results show a significant positive influence of ultrasonic assistance on the resulting cutting force as well as on the roughness of all materials investigated.
Alloy 36 is an iron-based alloy with 36% nickel. It is used in applications in which dimensional stability is critical, such as molding tools for composite materials in aerospace and automotive applications. Moreover, increasingly complex structures and the optimisation of resource efficiency also require additive manufacturing steps for the production or repair of components. Additively manufactured components have a heterogeneous microstructure and anisotropic mechanical properties. In addition, the manufactured components require subsequent machining surface finishing due to the high requirements. Nickel iron alloys are difficult to machine. Additionally, inhomogeneous microstructure may lead to unstable cutting forces and conditions. Alloy modifications are made to the alloy 36. For this purpose, titanium, zirconium and niobium are added up to 1 % by mass each. Plasma-Transferred-Arc is used for the welding tests. The hardness profile is determined on the transverse section. The initial structure as well as the modifications have an austenitic structure. The microstructure of the modifications of Alloy 36 with 1% Ti and 1% Zr is not refined, instead the grain size increases.
