A New Sustainable Approach to Enhancing the Subtractive Process in the Additive–Subtractive Hybrid Manufacturing of AISI H13 Dry Machining

In additive–subtractive hybrid manufacturing (ASHM), machining and additive processes are combined in a single operation to merge the benefits of both. This method faces challenges, especially during the machining steps. Parts made through additive manufacturing often have low machinability due to f...

description In additive–subtractive hybrid manufacturing (ASHM), machining and additive processes are combined in a single operation to merge the benefits of both. This method faces challenges, especially during the machining steps. Parts made through additive manufacturing often have low machinability due to factors like residual stresses and fine, hard microstructures. In ASHM, intermediate heat treatments are not possible, leading to the increased hardness of the printed material. Cutting fluids, typically used to reduce temperature and friction, can contaminate the build environment and impair layer adhesion; therefore, they are not recommended in ASHM. This study investigates soft metallic lubricant coatings in ASHM as substitutes for conventional fluid lubricants during dry machining. The coatings form a lubricating layer between the tool and workpiece, providing an alternative to cutting fluids. This research evaluates their effectiveness in improving the surface integrity of additively manufactured parts and supporting dry machining. The results of our research show a 65% reduction in force, a 50% reduction in tool wear, and a reduction in microstructural changes during machining while maintaining dry machining.
