Life assessment of components working in aero-engines at elevated temperatures is critical. Machining has a serious effect on these nickel-based alloys, for example in turbine discs, affecting their life in service. Machining ...

Ti6Al4 V is a titanium alloy widely used in the aeronautical industry and machining is often adopted to manufacture it. These parts must satisfy requirements specified by the customer. A crucial characteristic of aircraft ...

This paper analyzes the effect of tool wear on residual stresses when turning. Inconel 718 discs were machined for prolonged periods at several cutting speeds, feed-rates and depth of cut. Tests were interrupted to measure ...

The title of this editorial reflects an effort in creating a unique research forum, to harbor fundamental as well as review articles, meeting the forefront of this scientific field. The Guest Editors sought to attract ...

Aerostructures withstand cyclic mechanical loads and therefore, their design must fulfil surface integrity and fatigue strength requirements. This paper studies the effect of pneumatic machine hammer peening on surface ...

Transmission shafts used in the automotive sector must have a good tribological performance, and therefore an enhanced surface integrity. This paper aims to study the effect of eco-friendly innovative finishing operations ...

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 ...

The guarantee of surface integrity has become a primary objective for researchers when analysing the reliability of machined aircraft aluminium alloy structural parts in high-speed machining. This work studies the effect ...

Critical aero-engine components such as turbine discs must withstand severe cyclic stresses, which can eventually lead to low cycle fatigue (LCF) failures. These components are made of difficult-to-cut alloys and machining ...

A new method for measuring temperature in the rake face of a tool during dry orthogonal cutting using ther- mography is presented. In addition, a new technique is also used to calibrate the infrared camera. Using ...
