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 ...

Replacement of pollutant fuids with eco-friendly strategies in machining operations signifcantly contributes to protecting the environment, diminishing global warming, and ensuring a healthier workplace for employees. This ...

The new architecture of high velocity aircraft engines includes labyrinth-honeycomb interstate seals to improve the engine’s stability. To increase these engines capacity a commonly used strategy is to reduce the clearance ...

Drag finishing is a widely used superfinishing technique in the industry to polish parts under the action of abrasive media combined with an active surrounding liquid. However, the understanding of this process is not ...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has become the new paradigm of design and production strategies. While structural and functional materials are the most implemented ones, it is also possible to manufacture parts using precious ...

Tool condition monitoring have an important role in machining processes to reduce defective component and ensure quality requirements. Stopping the process before the tool breaks or an excessive tool wear is reached can ...

Machining operations affect the properties of the final surface layer, and these can impact on its functional per- formance, particularly on fatigue behaviour. Among the properties of the machined surface, surface topography ...

The cutting forces generated in machining are responsible for the tool deflection, part distortion, and features as chatter; therefore, their accurate estimation is fundamental to defining stable and safe working conditions ...

Increased stability in machining processes is highly desired by all machining industries when vibrations and specially chatter occur. This phenomenon is defined as a self-excited vibration that occurs due to the regeneration ...

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 ...
