Tool life is usually measured by end tool life tests, however, such experiments are costly and time consuming. Establishing correlation between these tests and shorter and cheaper tests is consequently of great interest. ...

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 ...

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 ...

Machining behaviour of Ti-5553, Ti-6Al-4 V mill-annealed (MA) and Ti-6Al-4 V solution treated and aged (STA) alloys was studied in different interrupted cutting operations using PVD coated cemented carbide tools. Single ...

Orthogonal tests on cylindrical workpieces were carried out to analyze the effect of heat treatment on the machinability of newly developed Ti54M titanium alloy in comparison with Ti64. This paper focuses on the comparison ...

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 ...

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 ...

During the machining of Ti-6Al-4V the changing deformation mechanisms produce a complex microstructure of segmented chips, which directly influenced tool-wear and process stability. Numerical simulation could give an insight ...
