The performance of aeronautic critical components is strongly dependent on its fatigue behavior, which is directly linked to their surface integrity condition. Broaching operation is a machining operation extensively used ...

Broaching is a specific process characterized by relatively low cutting speeds and uncut chip thicknesses. The latter is in the range of 0.1 to 0.25 mm in the roughing section of the tool but can decrease down to 0.0015 ...
