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 ...

The aeronautical industry is moving from high-capacity large-airplane construction to low-capacity small-airplane construction. With the change in the production volume, there is a need for more e cient manufacturing ...

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 ...

Cryogenic machining together with minimum quantity lubrication (MQL), is claimed to be a promising alternative to flood cooling in industrial applications since it avoids the use of large amounts of cutting fluids and it ...

In manufacturing aeronautical critical components, such as turbine discs commonly made of Inconel 718, surface integrity is crucial to ensure their fatigue life. Among the machining processes used, the drilling operation ...

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 ...

Nickel-based superalloys are widely employed to manufacture aero-engine turbines due to their high mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion and creep. Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) is a suitable manufacturing ...
