Lightweight materials like Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs) present certain challenges, mainly regarding the resultant surface integrity of the holes. Different techniques such as optimized tool geometries, machining ...

Despite the prevalence of machining, tools and cutting conditions are often chosen based on empirical databases, which are hard to be made, and they are only valid in the range of conditions tested to develop it. Predictive ...

High-precision metal cutting is increasingly relevant in advanced applications. Such precision normally requires a cutting feed in the micron or even sub-micron dimension scale, which raises questions about applicability ...

Surface topography irregularities generated by broaching are analysed. Experimental tests were carried out on three workpiece materials: AISI 1045, Ti-6Al-4V, and Inconel 718, varying the cutting speed, rise per tooth, and ...

Finite Element Modelling used to predict machining outcomes needs to be supplied with the appropriate material thermomechanical properties which are obtained by specific testing devices and methodologies. However, these ...

A novel methodology to map the friction and normal stress distribution on the rake face using Partially Restricted Contact Length Tools in orthogonal cutting tests is proposed. The influence of cutting speed, feed and ...

Nowadays, numerical models are one of the most widely used techniques to predict material performance subjected to different manufacturing processes. However, to obtain accurate predictions, these models require reliable ...

In machining of Ti-6Al-4V, it is commonly reported the appearance of segmented chip produced by adiabatic shearing (at high cutting speeds) and lack of ductility (at low cutting speeds). Moreover, machining is a manufacturing ...

Surface integrity directly affects the mechanical behavior of the workpiece, which is especially relevant on fatigue behavior. To characterize the quality of the machined surface, aspects such as material damage, roughness ...
