The distortion of components is strongly related to the residual stress state induced by manufacturing processes like heat treatment, forming or machining. Each process step affects the initial stress state of the following ...

Inconel 718 is commonly used in structural critical components of aircraft engines due to its mechanical thermal properties at high temperatures, which makes it to be considered as a difficult to machine material. In these ...

Tensile residual stresses are very often generated on the surface when machining nickel alloys. In order to determine their influence on the final mechanical behaviour of the component residual stress stability should be ...
