Cutting tool materials are the backbone of machining and play a vital role in the manufacturing industry. Innovation in cutting tools is important for customized and demanding applications. This state-of-the-art review is ...

Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V is of great importance to the aeronautical and medical sectors due to its mechanical properties such as a high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. On the downside, machining Ti6Al4V ...

Thin-walled aerostructural components frequently get distorted after the machining process. Reworking to correct distortions or eventually rejecting parts significantly increases the cost. This paper proposes a new approach ...

Knowing the tolerance interval capabilities (TICs) of a manufacturing process is of prime interest, especially if specifications link the manufacturer to a customer. These TICs can be determined using the machine performance ...

Multiple international organizations and many governments around the world have declared climate emergency. There is a pressing need to minimize the environmental impacts of human activities including manufacturing processes. ...

In the present study, three extrusion-based Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies were considered: Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), Pellet Extrusion Process (PEP) and Atomic Diffusion Additive Manufacturing (ADAM). In ...

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 ...

Holes are one of the most critical features of aero-engine components subjected to fatigue loads. Thus, it is essential to ensure a good surface integrity during hole making operations. This work proposes a non-destructive ...
