Electropolishing for Deburring Critical Metal Parts

Stamping and machining processes can leave metal parts with burrs that can affect the fit, function and durability of metal parts.

When these parts are destined for food or pharmaceutical production equipment or fuel lines and gear assemblies used in aerospace manufacturing, burrs are more than just a surface imperfection – they’re a potentially catastrophic defect that can prevent the proper sealing or connection between two parts, become dislodged near moving parts, or cause seizing of screws and other fasteners.

To prevent such risks, manufacturers in many industries often specify electropolishing as the final step in finishing their critical metal parts.

How Does Electropolishing Work?

Electropolishing is a highly effective finishing process for removing metal surface defects like microburrs caused by processes like broaching, fine blanking, grinding, lapping or milling.

Using a combination of a chemical bath and a rectified electrical current, electropolishing removes a precise and uniform layer of surface material, leaving behind a shiny, smooth, passive and defect-free surface.

Among other advantages, electropolishing can remove a microscopically precise amount of surface material with surface roughness improvement of up to 50%, eliminating surface defects for high-quality results within very tight tolerances.

By eliminating microcracks and other defects that can harbor bacteria or become initiation sites for corrosion, electropolishing also leaves metal parts with significantly improved resistance to corrosion and pathogen growth. The ultrasmooth surface finish that electropolishing leaves behind has been shown to inhibit the formation of bacterial biofilms that can be resistant to ordinary cleaning methods. The finish also leaves behind a surface that is easier to clean, without cracks or defects where pathogens can hide – a critical advantage for medical, pharmaceutical and food and beverage production.

Why Use Electropolishing for Deburring?

Fragile or intricate metal parts, like those used for medical devices and implants, are not well suited for finishing processes like mechanical or vibratory polishing, which can damage fragile parts or create inconsistent results for parts with complex shapes.

Successful deburring for critical metal parts is contingent upon the ability to remove a precise layer of surface material. No other process can match electropolishing for its ability to control the material removal to +/- .0002”.

By deburring the threads on metal fasteners, for example, electropolishing can reduce the risk of adhesion between two mating surfaces, also known as “galling,” which can cause material between the surfaces to deteriorate and seize up when parts are pressed together.

Burrs can also shorten the lifespan of a part, by breaking off or becoming an initiation site for corrosion.

Larger burrs that occur as the result of rough milling or displaced metal from drilling operations, however, may need pre-treatment using other methods. Likewise, heavy die break burrs caused by improper tooling maintenance will generally require additional treatment.

Much in the way that lightning is drawn to the highest points, electropolishing delivers higher current density on the high points or edges which makes it ideal for micro-deburring The customized nature of the electropolishing process, from racking to chemical formulation to timing, would be of little value if it could not be reproduced consistently. But unlike other finishing processes, electropolishing is prized for its consistent results.

Electropolishing also offers a key advantage for parts with critical microfinishes or made from the lighter, more fragile materials increasingly used in the manufacturing of medical devices, electrical components and semiconductors, among other industries. These parts are not suitable for mass finishing techniques that can create distortion, nicks and scratches. Electropolished parts are individually racked to prevent contact and ensure the even application of the process for even the most fragile parts.

Advantages of Electropolishing for Deburring

The electropolishing process can be customized by alloy, by application and by the desired results. Beyond its ability to remove a uniform layer of surface material to eliminate surface defects like microburrs, microcracks, scale and staining, electropolishing offers many collateral benefits for the manufacturers of critical metal parts.

Microscopically precise removal of surface material with control to +/-.0002”

Customized racking to accommodate fragile and complex parts small and large

Leaves parts with enhanced durability and cycle life

Creation of a pathogen-resistant surface

Superior cleanability

Ultraclean finish

Decorative finish

One stop process for cleaning and removing surface defects

30X more corrosion resistance than passivation alone

Parts are also left passivated in the process

Improves conductivity of copper and aluminum alloys

What Alloys Can Be Electropolished?

A long list of alloys can be effectively deburred using electropolishing. The process is also equally effective on parts that are fully annealed or hardened. That is one reason that electropolishing is frequently specified for the final deburring and finishing of parts after all fabrication and heat treating processes have been completed.

Electropolishing is effective for a wide variety of alloys including:

Stainless Steel 200-300 Series

Stainless Steel 400 Series

Stainless Steel: Precipitating Hardening Grades

Nitinol

Titanium

Aluminum

Carbon Steels

Copper

Materials Characterization: Transmission electron microscopy

As with other forms of electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) uses a beam of electrons to 'illuminate' the specimen of interest and provide information and images. As the name would suggest, the electrons used in this technique are transmitted through the sample, requiring ultrathin specimens (typically less than 100nm in thickness). The thinner the specimen, the clearer the resulting images. The resolution of TEM can be less than a nanometer, though the specific machine resolution can vary based on a number of factors.

There are several techniques to produce TEM samples. For solid, bulk inorganic specimens, historically, mechanical polishing, chemical etching, and electropolishing have been used, though these techniques are time consuming and cannot easily be used to extract TEM foils from specific locations. These days, focused ion beam milling is often used to extract foils from targeted areas, as shown in image 2 above.

In addition to images such as the one shown in image 4 above, TEM can also produce diffraction patterns (as in image 3) which can be used to determine the site-specific crystal structure, as well as its orientation. TEM can also provide chemical information, including, if the resolution is high enough, on an atom-by-atom basis.

Many variations of the technique exist, including scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), cryo-TEM, aberration corrected TEM (more common in modern instruments), and the ability to conduct various in-situ/environmental experiments during imaging. While TEM can be used to collect extremely detailed small scale information about a sample, it should be noted that the size of the specimens mean that, particularly for bulk specimens, results may not be representative of the sample overall.

The subject moves from object to object in order to avoid confronting the fact that it misses the same lost object again and again. The perpetual movement of desire obscures its rootedness in missing the object rather than obtaining it. The subject fails to see that the object is satisfying as an object and not as a possible possession. When the subject invests itself in the fantasy of obtaining the object, it avoids the monotony of the subject’s form of satisfaction. One has dissatisfaction, but one also has a variety of objects that one desires with the promise of a future satisfaction. This future satisfaction never comes, and obtaining objects brings with it an inevitable disappointment. One thought that one was obtaining the impossible lost object, but one ends up with just an ordinary empirical object that pales in comparison. I believed that the piece of chocolate cake that I just ate embodied the lost object itself before I ate it, but after having done so I realize its underwhelming ordinariness.

Stainless steel clamps are essential parts used in numerous industries, including automotive, aerospace, plumbing, and construction. They are used to securely hold pipes, hoses, cables, and other components, ensuring efficient and safe system operation. Over time, stainless steel clamps have undergone significant advancements in design, material composition, and functionality. These innovations are driven by the need for more reliable, versatile, and cost-effective solutions to meet the demands of modern industry.

Enhanced Corrosion Resistance

Stainless steel is preferred for clamps due to its inherent resistance to corrosion. Recent advancements in metal alloys have resulted in even more corrosion-resistant stainless steel varieties. For example, duplex and super duplex stainless steels have increased resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in harsh conditions like marine or chemical settings. These new alloys extend the lifespan of clamps, reduce maintenance expenses, and minimize equipment downtime from failures.

Furthermore, advanced surface treatments and coatings, such as passivation or electropolishing, remove contaminants and strengthen the protective oxide layer on stainless steel, further enhancing its resistance to environmental damage.

Lightweight Designs Without Compromising Strength

The need for lighter components is growing, particularly in the automotive and aerospace sectors, where even small weight reductions can significantly improve fuel efficiency and overall performance. Innovations in stainless steel clamp designs are addressing this demand by reducing weight without compromising strength.

Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as hydroforming and precision stamping, allow for the creation of lightweight yet strong clamp structures. These methods enable the production of thinner yet more robust clamps by distributing material more effectively across the clamp body. Such advancements not only make the clamps lighter but also enhance their load-bearing capacity, ensuring they perform well under high stress or vibration conditions.

Smart Clamps with Integrated Sensors

The integration of intelligent technologies into common parts is a hallmark of the modern industrial age, and this applies to stainless steel clamps as well. The development of smart clamps that incorporate sensors to monitor various factors like tension, temperature, and vibration is transforming the way systems are maintained.

These smart clamps can provide real-time data on their own condition and the environment they are operating in, enabling predictive maintenance. For instance, a clamp monitoring the tension on a hose could alert a maintenance team if it starts to loosen, preventing potential leaks or failures before they occur. This trend towards smart clamps is especially valuable in critical applications where even minor failures can have significant consequences, such as in the aerospace or nuclear industries.

Quick-Release Mechanisms for Easy Maintenance

These clamps are made to be put on or taken off fast and simply without needing special tools, which cuts down the time needed for repairs or changes. Some new models have lever systems or spring-loaded parts that let you use them with one hand, making them good for tight or hard-to-reach areas. This new design not only saves time but also makes things safer by lowering the need for a lot of handling in possibly dangerous places.

Customized and Application-Specific Clamps

In the medical field, where cleanliness and sterilization are critical, clamps may have special coatings or shapes that prevent bacteria accumulation and are simple to clean. Alternatively, in the automotive industry, clamps may be made to endure high temperatures or exposure to substances like fuel and oil. The capacity to personalize clamps according to their intended use not only enhances their performance but also extends their lifespan and dependability.

Sustainable Manufacturing Practices

Sustainability is becoming more important across various industries, including manufacturing. Stainless steel, known for its long-lasting qualities and ability to be recycled, is already a relatively eco-friendly material. However, new trends are pushing for even more environmentally-friendly practices in the production of stainless steel clamps.

Manufacturers are increasingly adopting processes that lower energy use and waste during production. For instance, using electric arc furnaces to melt recycled stainless steel reduces carbon emissions compared to traditional blast furnaces. Additionally, some manufacturers are exploring the use of bio-based lubricants and coolants during the machining process to further minimize the environmental impact.

Modular Clamping Systems

Modularity is becoming increasingly popular in the clamping industry. Modular clamping systems provide flexibility and the ability to adapt by enabling easy swapping or adjustment of components to accommodate different sizes or shapes of objects. This approach is especially advantageous in industries like construction and HVAC, where on-site adjustments are frequently required.

Researchers 3D print key components for a point-of-care mass spectrometer - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/researchers-3d-print-key-components-for-a-point-of-care-mass-spectrometer-technology-org/

Researchers 3D print key components for a point-of-care mass spectrometer - Technology Org

Mass spectrometry, a technique that can precisely identify the chemical components of a sample, could be used to monitor the health of people who suffer from chronic illnesses. For instance, a mass spectrometer can measure hormone levels in the blood of someone with hypothyroidism.

But mass spectrometers can cost several hundred thousand dollars, so these expensive machines are typically confined to laboratories where blood samples must be sent for testing. This inefficient process can make managing a chronic disease especially challenging.

“Our big vision is to make mass spectrometry local. For someone who has a chronic disease that requires constant monitoring, they could have something the size of a shoebox that they could use to do this test at home. For that to happen, the hardware has to be inexpensive,” says Luis Fernando Velásquez-García, a principal research scientist in MIT’s Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL).

He and his collaborators have taken a big step in that direction by 3D printing a low-cost ionizer — a critical component of all mass spectrometers — that performs twice as well as its state-of-the-art counterparts.

Their device, which is only a few centimeters in size, can be manufactured at scale in batches and then incorporated into a mass spectrometer using efficient, pick-and-place robotic assembly methods. Such mass production would make it cheaper than typical ionizers that often require manual labor, need expensive hardware to interface with the mass spectrometer, or must be built in a semiconductor clean room.

By 3D printing the device instead, the researchers were able to precisely control its shape and utilize special materials that helped boost its performance.

“This is a do-it-yourself approach to making an ionizer, but it is not a contraption held together with duct tape or a poor man’s version of the device. It works better than devices made using expensive processes and specialized instruments, and anyone can be empowered to make it,” says Velásquez-García, senior author of a paper on the ionizer.

He wrote the paper with lead author Alex Kachkine, a mechanical engineering graduate student. The research is published in the Journal of the American Association for Mass Spectrometry.

Low-cost hardware

Mass spectrometers identify the contents of a sample by sorting charged particles, called ions, based on their mass-to-charge ratio. Since molecules in blood don’t have an electric charge, an ionizer gives them a charge before they are analyzed.

Most liquid ionizers do this using electrospray, which involves applying a high voltage to a liquid sample and then firing a thin jet of charged particles into the mass spectrometer. The more ionized particles in the spray, the more accurate the measurements will be.

The MIT researchers used 3D printing, along with some clever optimizations, to produce a low-cost electrospray emitter that outperformed state-of-the-art mass spectrometry ionizer versions.

They fabricated the emitter from metal using binder jetting, a 3D printing process in which a blanket of powdered material is showered with a polymer-based glue squirted through tiny nozzles to build an object layer by layer. The finished object is heated in an oven to evaporate the glue and then consolidate it from a bed of powder surrounding it.

“The process sounds complicated, but it is one of the original 3D printing methods, and it is highly precise and very effective,” Velásquez-García says.

Then, the printed emitters undergo an electropolishing step that sharpens it. Finally, each device is coated in zinc oxide nanowires which give the emitter a level of porosity that enables it to effectively filter and transport liquids.

Thinking outside the box

One possible problem that impacts electrospray emitters is the evaporation that can occur to the liquid sample during operation. The solvent might vaporize and clog the emitter, so engineers typically design emitters to limit evaporation.

Through modeling confirmed by experiments, the MIT team realized they could use evaporation to their advantage. They designed the emitters as externally-fed solid cones with a specific angle that leverages evaporation to strategically restrict the flow of liquid. In this way, the sample spray contains a higher ratio of charge-carrying molecules.

“We saw that evaporation can actually be a design knob that can help you optimize the performance,” he says.

They also rethought the counter-electrode that applies voltage to the sample. The team optimized its size and shape, using the same binder jetting method, so the electrode prevents arcing. Arcing, which occurs when electrical current jumps a gap between two electrodes, can damage electrodes or cause overheating.

Because their electrode is not prone to arcing, they can safely increase the applied voltage, which results in more ionized molecules and better performance.

They also created a low-cost, printed circuit board with built-in digital microfluidics, which the emitter is soldered to. The addition of digital microfluidics enables the ionizer to efficiently transport droplets of liquid.

Taken together, these optimizations enabled an electrospray emitter that could operate at a voltage 24 percent higher than state-of-the-art versions. This higher voltage enabled their device to more than double the signal-to-noise ratio.

In addition, their batch processing technique could be implemented at scale, which would significantly lower the cost of each emitter and go a long way toward making a point-of-care mass spectrometer an affordable reality.

“Going back to Guttenberg, once people had the ability to print their own things, the world changed completely. In a sense, this could be more of the same. We can give people the power to create the hardware they need in their daily lives,” he says.

Moving forward, the team wants to create a prototype that combines their ionizer with a 3D-printed mass filter they previously developed. The ionizer and mass filter are the key components of the device. They are also working to perfect 3D-printed vacuum pumps, which remain a major hurdle to printing an entire compact mass spectrometer.

“Miniaturization through advanced technology is slowly but surely transforming mass spectrometry, reducing manufacturing cost and increasing the range of applications. This work on fabricating electrospray sources by 3D printing also enhances signal strength, increasing sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio and potentially opening the way to more widespread use in clinical diagnosis,” says Richard Syms, professor of microsystems technology in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College London, who was not involved with this research.
