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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Automotive transmission components are subjected to cyclic loads and, thus, must have a reliable fatigue performance. Since fatigue cracks nucleate at the surface, it is necessary to guarantee that its surface integrity ...

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer/titanium stacks (CFRP/Ti6Al4V) are employed in aeronautics due to their excellent weight-to-strength ratio and corrosion properties. However, these same material properties present challenges ...

Broaching is a key manufacturing process that directly influences the surface integrity of critical components, impacting their functional performance in sectors such as aeronautics, automotive, and energy. Such components ...
