Six-axis robots are increasingly employed in manufacturing due to their excellent volume on cost ratio and extensive reach, facilitating the machining of large components, including those made of composites. However, this ...

In manufacturing, different costs must be considered when selecting the optimal manufacturing configuration. Costs include manufacturing costs, material costs, labor costs, and overhead costs. Optimal manufacturing ...

Long milling tools are often limited in productivity due to chatter vibrations. Embedded Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) in these tools have proven to be an effective solution for reducing chatter and increasing productivity. ...

Broaching is widely used for the manufacturing of complex geometries which requires high dimensional accuracy and surface finishing (e.g., fir tree, dovetail). A software development for force prediction in complex shape ...

Residual stress profiles induced by different dry face turning conditions are compared employing X-ray diffraction method, Hole-Drilling method and Finite Element Modelling. It is well known that the surface integrity ...

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 ...

Hybrid manufacturing relies on the combination of different processes to overcome their own limitations. Combining additive manufacturing such as material extrusion (MEX) and subtractive conventional processes such as ...

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 ...

Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are a widely used and growing material in industry, thanks to their excellent mechanical properties. Manufactured FRPs parts usually have thin walls. These parts also require finishing ...

The highly used Ti6Al4V alloy is a well know hard-to-machine material. The modelling of orthogonal cutting process of Ti6Al4V attract the interest of many researchers as it often generates serrated chips. The purpose of ...
