Surface integrity induced by machining process affects strongly the performance of functional products, for instance, the fatigue life as well as the resistance to stress corrosion cracking. Consequently, it is relevant ...

This study generated novel behavioural data for three engineering steels undergoing a turning process. The materialswere hardened 410, PH13-8Mo and 300M, two stainless steels and one high strength steel respectively. A ...

Broaching is a unique machining process with high accuracy and surface quality, which is employed in massand batch production for the manufacture of components with highly complex geometries. It involves the use of ...

Accurate and fast prediction of cutting forces is important in high-performance cutting in the aerospace industry. Gamma titanium aluminide (γ-TiAl) is a material of choice for aerospace and automotive applications due to ...

Ferrite-Pearlite (FP) steels are used in many automotive components. However, their machinability in low cutting speed processes appears to be highly dependent on their metallurgical state. An experimental approach combining ...

Some industrial applications require structured surfaces with high roughness values to ensure their functionality (Ra > 1 µm, Rmax < 30 µm). In order to obtain these structured surfaces with high roughness values, face ...

Although much research has been carried out in the field of the milling of GFRP (Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer) composites, the complexity of the process is such that it is still not mastered in many industrial cases. The ...

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 ...

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 ...
