(CENIM, 2004) Puertas Arbizu, Ignacio; Luis Pérez, Carmelo; Ingeniería Mecánica, Energética y de Materiales; Mekanika, Energetika eta Materialen Ingeniaritza
El mecanizado por electroerosión (en inglés, Electrical Discharge Machining, EDM) constituye una alternativa emergente frente a otros procesos de fabricación de materiales cerámicos conductores, tales como: mecanizado por láser, mecanizado electroquímico, chorro de agua con abrasivos, mecanizado por ultrasonidos y rectificado con muela de diamante. Debido a su interés en el ámbito industrial, en este trabajo se lleva a cabo un estudio de la influencia de las condiciones de operación sobre el aspecto superficial de tres materiales cerámicos conductores: carburo de boro prensado en caliente (B4C), carburo de silicio infiltrado con silicio (SiSiC) y carburo de wolframio en matriz metálica de cobalto (WC-Co), electroerosionados bajo diferentes condiciones de mecanizado y para el caso particular de regímenes de acabado (Ra ≤ 1 μm).

(CENIM, 2011) Pérez Ruiz, Iván; Luis Pérez, Carmelo; Luri Irigoyen, Rodrigo; León Iriarte, Javier; Puertas Arbizu, Ignacio; Ingeniería Mecánica, Energética y de Materiales; Mekanika, Energetika eta Materialen Ingeniaritza
En el presente trabajo se ha realizado un estudio de la modificación de las propiedades mecánicas de la aleación de aluminio AA6060 F, al ser deformada mediante deformación plástica severa empleando el proceso de extrusión en canal angular (ECAE). Asimismo, se ha efectuado un estudio del efecto del envejecimiento artificial sobre la modificación de dichas propiedades mecánicas. Para ello, se han realizado tratamientos térmicos a diferentes temperaturas y tiempos de permanencia, efectuando mediciones de dureza, ensayos de tracción, ensayos con péndulo Charpy y técnicas de revelado metalográfico, para conocer los comportamientos mecánicos y el estado del material. Existe un elevado número de publicaciones, que han analizado el efecto de tratamientos térmicos de envejecimiento en aleaciones de la serie 6000. Sin embargo, la aleación AA6060 no ha sido tan ampliamente estudiada. Por ello, en este trabajo se parte de una aleación comercial AA6060 en estado de bruto de colada, lo cual no ha sido estudiado hasta la fecha.

Análisis y modelización de los parámetros de influencia en la electroerosión por penetración de materiales de baja mecanizabilidad
(2016) Torres Salcedo, Alexia; Puertas Arbizu, Ignacio; Luis Pérez, Carmelo; Ingeniería Mecánica, Energética y de Materiales; Mekanika, Energetika eta Materialen Ingeniaritza
En la presente tesis doctoral se realiza un análisis y una modelización de los parámetros de mayor influencia en la electroerosión por penetración de tres materiales de baja mecanizabilidad. En concreto, el estudio se centra en la aleación Inconel® 600 (Special Metals Corporation) y en las cerámicas diboruro de titanio (TiB2) y carburo de silicio infiltrado con silicio (SiSiC). Actualmente, estos materiales resultan de gran interés para aplicaciones industriales en los sectores aeronáutico, nuclear y automotriz, debido a la combinación de buenas propiedades mecánicas, resistencia a la corrosión y extremada dureza a altas temperaturas. Para llevar a cabo dicho estudio, se emplean metodologías basadas en el Diseño de Experimentos (DOE), para la planificación y selección de los valores de los parámetros, así como para la obtención de modelos matemáticos que permitan predecir las condiciones óptimas de mecanizado. Asimismo, se determinan tablas tecnológicas, para dichos materiales, en función de los parámetros de diseño: intensidad, tiempo de impulso y rendimiento, en los rangos de estudio considerados. A partir de estas tablas, es posible predecir la obtención de una determinada rugosidad superficial en base a dos estrategias de mecanizado consistentes en maximizar la tasa de eliminación de material, o bien, en minimizar el desgaste del electrodo. Para la generación de las tablas tecnológicas, se emplean los valores experimentales y, en aquellos casos donde no sea posible disponer de datos experimentales, se emplean métodos de optimización no lineal para predecir dichos valores, utilizando los modelos matemáticos generados, en base a los resultados experimentales. Además, se hace uso de microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM), con objeto de obtener información relativa a la topografía de las superficies resultantes tras la EDM. Finalmente, se propone un nuevo parámetro denominado ‘densidad de energía’ con el fin de profundizar en el estudio del proceso de EDM.

(MDPI, 2017) Luri Irigoyen, Rodrigo; Luis Pérez, Carmelo; León Iriarte, Javier; Fuertes Bonel, Juan Pablo; Salcedo Pérez, Daniel; Puertas Arbizu, Ignacio; Ingeniería Mecánica, Energética y de Materiales; Mekanika, Energetika eta Materialen Ingeniaritza
Over the last few years there has been an increasing interest in the study and development of processes that make it possible to obtain ultra-fine grained materials. Although there exists a large number of published works related to the improvement of the mechanical properties in these materials, there are only a few studies that analyse their in-service behaviour (fatigue and wear). In order to bridge the gap, in this present work, the fatigue and wear results obtained for connecting rods manufactured by using two different aluminium alloys (AA5754 and AA5083) previously deformed by severe plastic deformation (SPD), using Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP), in order to obtain the ultrafine grain size in the processed materials are shown. For both aluminium alloys, two initial states were studied: annealed and ECAPed. The connecting rods were manufactured from the previously processed materials by using isothermal forging. Fatigue and wear experiments were carried out in order to characterize the in-service behaviour of the components. A comparative study of the results was made for both initial states of the materials. Furthermore, Finite Element Modelling (FEM) simulations were used in order to compare experimental results with those obtained from simulations. In addition, dimensional wear coefficients were found for each of the aluminium alloys and initial deformation states. This research work aims to progress the knowledge of the behaviour of components manufactured from ultrafine grain materials.

Analysis of tribological properties in disks of AA-5754 and AA-5083 aluminium alloys previously processed by equal channel angular pressing and isothermally forged
(MDPI, 2020) Luis Pérez, Carmelo; Luri Irigoyen, Rodrigo; Puertas Arbizu, Ignacio; Salcedo Pérez, Daniel; León Iriarte, Javier; Fuertes Bonel, Juan Pablo; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza
In the present study, the wear behaviour of two aluminium alloys (AA‐5754 and AA‐5083) is analysed where these have been previously processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD) with equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). In order to achieve the objectives of this study, several disks made of these alloys are manufactured by isothermal forging from different initial states. The microstructures of the initial materials analysed in this study have different accumulated deformation levels. In order to compare the properties of the nanostructured materials with those which have not been ECAP‐processed, several disks with a height of 6 mm and a diameter of 35 mm are manufactured from both aluminium alloys (that is, AA‐5754 and AA‐5083) isothermally forged at temperatures of 150 and 200 °C, respectively. These thus‐manufactured disks are tested under a load of 0.6 kN, which is equivalent to a stress mean value of 18 MPa, and at a rotational speed of 200 rpm. In order to determine the wear values, the disks are weighed at the beginning, at 10,000 revolutions, at 50,000 revolutions and at 100,000 revolutions, and then the volume‐loss values are calculated. This study was carried out using specific equipment, which may be considered to have a block‐on‐ring configuration, developed for testing in‐service wear behaviour of mechanical components. From this, the wear coefficients for the two materials at different initial states are obtained. In addition, a comparison is made between the behaviour of the previously ECAP-processed aluminium alloys and those that are non‐ECAP‐processed. A methodology is proposed to determine wear coefficients for the aluminium alloys under consideration, which may be used to predict the wear behaviour. It is demonstrated that AA‐5754 and AA‐5083 aluminium alloys improve wear behaviour after the ECAP process compared to that obtained in non‐ECAP‐processed materials.

Analysis on the manufacturing of an AA5083 straight blade previously ECAE processed
(Hindawi, 2013) Salcedo Pérez, Daniel; Luis Pérez, Carmelo; Puertas Arbizu, Ignacio; León Iriarte, Javier; Fuertes Bonel, Juan Pablo; Luri Irigoyen, Rodrigo; Ingeniería Mecánica, Energética y de Materiales; Mekanika, Energetika eta Materialen Ingeniaritza
Over these past few years, there have been a large number of technical papers published related to the problem of improving the mechanical properties of materials obtained through severe plastic deformation. Nevertheless, the number of technical papers dealing with improvement in the mechanical properties of mechanical components manufactured from submicrometric grain size material has not been so proficient. Therefore, in this present research work, a straight blade has been manufactured starting from AA-5083 previously processed by ECAE twice (N2) with route C.This material will be manipulated so as to be isothermally forged at different temperature values.This present research work shows the results that are inherent in an improvement in themechanical properties and the microstructure achieved in the thus obtained components, compared with the starting material. In addition, the optimum forging temperature to achieve these components will be determined. As shown in this research work, it is possible to obtain submicrometric grain size mechanical components with a higher mechanical strength than those obtained in nonultrafine grained materials. The originality of this research work lies in the manufacturing of actual mechanical components from ECAE processed material and the analysis of their properties.

Analytical modelling of energy density and optimization of the EDM machining parameters of Inconel 600
(MDPI, 2017) Torres Salcedo, Alexia; Puertas Arbizu, Ignacio; Luis Pérez, Carmelo; Ingeniería Mecánica, Energética y de Materiales; Mekanika, Energetika eta Materialen Ingeniaritza
In this present research work, a new modelling of energy density in EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is proposed. Energy density can be defined as the amount of energy needed to get a unit volume of material removed, and for its modelling, the whole EDM process has been taken into account. This new definition lets us quantify the energy density that is being absorbed by the workpiece and the electrode. Results are compared to those obtained by die sinking EDM in an Inconel ®600 alloy using Cu-C electrodes. Currently, this material is of great interest for industrial applications in the nuclear, aeronautical and chemical sectors, due to their combinations of good mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and extreme hardness at very high temperatures. The experimental results confirm that the use of negative polarity leads to a higher material removal rate, higher electrode wear and higher surface roughness. Moreover, the optimal condition to obtain a maximum MRR (Material Removal Rate) of 30.49 mm3/min was: 8 A, 100 µs and 0.6, respectively, for the current intensity, pulse time and duty cycle.

This present research work deals with the analysis of the design of different specimen geometries so that by finite volume simulations, the appearance of cracks may be predicted in the case of forging processes. To this end, each of the geometries selected are studied by means of compression tests between plane shape dies in the same conditions (T = 25 ºC). On the one hand, a value for the critical damage value is obtained by applying the Cockroft-Latham’s criterion and on the other hand, a damage distribution along all the specimen volume with the aim of defining a specimen which shows the most likely place for the crack to appear. This crack location may be also determined through visual inspection with the aim of being able to evaluate this experimentally in the near future.

(2014) García Casquete, Jorge Joel; Puertas Arbizu, Ignacio; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales y de Telecomunicación
El objeto de este proyecto fin de grado es el estudiar, analizar y mejorar el control de la trazabilidad de las herramientas eléctricas, neumáticas y electrónicas. La trazabilidad tiene una gran importancia como mecanismo para el seguimiento y conocimiento de la historia de un vehículo porque tienen implicaciones muy importantes en términos de calidad, seguridad y prevención. Este objetivo surge de una no conformidad procedente de una auditoria basada en la normativa ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 9001 de Gestión de Calidad. El enfoque del proyecto se desarrolla en una teoría nacida en este proyecto denominada “los pilares de la trazabilidad” en donde a partir de un estudio acerca del control que se estaba realizando actualmente, se realiza unas soluciones de mejora que finalmente se logran a poner en práctica. A continuación de la puesta en práctica, se valoraran los beneficios y las carencias que tienen ayudando a realizar unas propuestas futuras de mejora. Estas propuestas se basaran en utilizar una tecnología actual de identificación como es el RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification), y el código de barras en las herramientas.

This present research work deals with the development of ultrafine grained cams obtained from previously ECAP (Equal Channel Angular Pressing)-processed material and manufactured by isothermal forging. The design and the manufacturing of the dies required for the isothermal forging of the cams are shown. Optimization techniques based on the combination of design of experiments, finite element and finite volume simulations are employed to develop the dies. A comparison is made between the mechanical properties obtained with the cams manufactured from material with no previous deformation and with those from previously SPD (Severe Plastic Deformation)-processed material. In addition, a comparative study between the experimental results and those obtained from the simulations is carried out. It has been demonstrated that it is possible to obtain ultrafine grained cams with an increase of 10.3% in the microhardness mean value as compared to that obtained from material with no previous deformation.

Design and optimization of the dies for the isothermal forging of a cam
(Elsevier, 2015) Salcedo Pérez, Daniel; Luis Pérez, Carmelo; Luri Irigoyen, Rodrigo; León Iriarte, Javier; Puertas Arbizu, Ignacio; Fuertes Bonel, Juan Pablo; Ingeniería Mecánica, Energética y de Materiales; Mekanika, Energetika eta Materialen Ingeniaritza
In the present study, the design of the dies required for the isothermal forging of a cam is analysed by finite volume method. Specifically, cams are of great importance in automotive industry, where a lower weight and an improvement in the lubrication or in the materials to be in contact lead to a significant reduction in the fuel cost. The flow stress curves of one Al-Mg alloy were firstly determined by using compression tests. Once these flow stress curves were obtained, FV simulation was employed. In the forging process, the optimum die configuration has been selected. To this end, several aspects have been taken into account such as the force required for the forging, the correct die filling, the introduced plastic strain and the damage imparted to the billet.

Design, optimization, and mechanical property analysis of a submicrometric aluminium alloy connecting rod
(Hindawi, 2015) Fuertes Bonel, Juan Pablo; León Iriarte, Javier; Luis Pérez, Carmelo; Salcedo Pérez, Daniel; Puertas Arbizu, Ignacio; Luri Irigoyen, Rodrigo; Ingeniería Mecánica, Energética y de Materiales; Mekanika, Energetika eta Materialen Ingeniaritza
Ultrafine grained materials have a great deal of both scientific and technological interest because they allow outstanding properties to be obtained. An improvement in the mechanical strength and in the ductility and a better fatigue behaviour are properties to be expected with these materials. However, in spite of the great number of scientific publications that deals with the mechanical property improvement, the number of practical applications of these materials is scant. In this present research work, equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is used as a severe plastic deformation process (SPD) to obtain billets which are subsequently isothermally forged to obtain a connecting rod with submicrometric grain size. The optimization of the design process is shown as well as the die design. The objective variables to be fulfilled are the correct filling of the die and the required force to obtain the part. Moreover, a comparison is also included between the mechanical properties thus obtained and those obtained with traditional methods. Moreover, optical and SEM micrographs are also included in this research work.

Design, simulation and manufacturing of a connecting rod from ultra-fine grained material and isothermal forging

In this research work, a study on the mechanical properties of isothermal forging for connecting rods is made from previously ECAP (Equal Channel Angular Pressing)-processed AA1050 and AA5083 aluminium alloys. This severe plastic deformation (SPD) process is used in order to achieve a starting material with a submicrometric structure, thus improving the mechanical properties of the part. In this study, the design and the experimentation process is shown, where this involves the design stage by finite element simulations, the experimental tests and the use of metallographic techniques for the required properties to be analysed. Itis observed thatthere is an improvementin the mechanical properties when the starting material is ECAP-processed before carrying out the isothermal forging. This improvement consists in an increase of 20% in the hardness of the final connecting rod which also possesses a microstructure grain size of 500 nm. To come to these conclusions,the results obtained with the connecting rods manufactured by isothermal forging from previously ECAP-processed material are compared with those conventionally manufactured. Therefore,the feasibility and the advantages ofthe industrialmanufacturing ofmechanical components by isothermal forging from ECAP-processed material are demonstrated here as mechanical properties are achieved, as well as a better flow of the material and at a lower forging temperature. In the existing bibliography, there are no research works dealing with the manufacturing of connecting rods from ultra-fine grained material and that is the reason why this present study is considered to be of scientific and technological interest, and therefore, it may be considered to be at the frontline of current knowledge.

Development of a machining strategy to manufacture SiSiC nuts by EDM
(SAGE Publications, 2024) Torres Salcedo, Alexia; Puertas Arbizu, Ignacio; Luis Pérez, Carmelo; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza
Today, the high-precision manufacturing of small cavities in difficult-to-machine materials is still a challenge, even more so if they need to be threaded. The machining time, the wear suffered by the electrodes and the surface finish are determining factors in the efficiency of the threading process. However, there is scant literature on this subject so there is a need to study the process and the parameters involved. Thus, this study presents a novel machining strategy for the manufacture of nuts using die-sinking electrical discharge machining (EDM). Moreover, the novelty of this strategy is that it is carried out in a single stage and with a conventional EDM generator. To do so, a design of experiments (DOE) methodology has been followed. First, the optimal machining conditions are determined by studying the influence of EDM parameters on operation variables and mathematical models are developed using multiple linear regression. These models allow the behavior of the response variables under study to be predicted. Finally, this machining strategy developed from the previous experimental results is validated in the manufacturing process of a final part, specifically a square nut. It can be concluded that the mathematical model is good enough to predict the experimental results. Thus, the new method presented and described in this present study allowed a nut to be obtained with a real arithmetic mean deviation of the roughness profile (Ra) value of 1.27 μm whereas the predicted value from the model was 1.28 μm. To do so, the machining conditions selected were: 4 A (current intensity), 5 µs (pulse time) and 0.4 (duty cycle), which also gave a material removal rate (MRR) value of 0.5370 mm3/min. The machining strategy proposed here may be used for future research works related to the manufacturing of mechanical joints made of conductive ceramic materials.

This work presents a study related to the achievement of a nanometric structure in AA3103, employing severe plastic deformation processes (SPD), in this case equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). The changes in the mechanical properties and in the microstructure of AA3103 were studied after being processed by ECAP. Subsequently, scanning electron microscopy was used to determine the evolution of the microstructure after different thermal treatments on the material processed by this severe plastic deformation process. Furthermore, a more profound knowledge of the changes in the mechanical properties of this aluminium alloy was obtained. It was demonstrated that with different appropriate combinations of thermal treatments and ECAP processing, it is possible to significantly improve the mechanical properties through obtaining submicrometric grain size structures.

El objetivo de este proyecto es el diseño de un molde para inyección de plásticos cuyo fin sea la producción en serie de un obturador, pieza clave para las cámaras de fotos analógicas. Debido a la complejidad geométrica de la pieza, se procederá al estudio en profundidad de la inyección y posterior enfriamiento del plástico en la cavidad por medio del programa de simulación por elementos finitos Moldflow. Mediante la modificación de los diferentes parámetros que intervienen en todo el proceso de llenado y posterior enfriamiento procederemos a la optimización de los tiempos que suponen para que todo el proceso se desarrolle de la manera más rápida, posible manteniendo unos resultados aceptables en términos de consistencia estructural, acabado superficial, precisión geométrica y aspecto visual. Así, una vez optimizado todo el proceso, procederemos a definir por planos la geometría del molde así como el equipamiento a utilizar para que se pueda llevar a cabo su fabricación de cara a producir obturadores en serie en la industria. También se realizará una descripción de las diferentes variantes que existen a la hora de diseñar moldes en lo relativo al sistema de alimentación, materiales, sistemas de refrigeración, etc. Asimismo se verá cuáles son los defectos más comunes que podemos tener en las piezas que fabriquemos y sus soluciones más comunes.
