Magnesium-Calcium (Mg-Ca) alloy has received considerable attention as an emerging
biodegradable implant material in orthopedic fixation applications. The biodegradable Mg …

A cooling hole is important structure of turbine blades for high-performance aircraft engines.
It is very challenging to manufacture cooling holes in superalloys including nickel-based and …

The objective of the research was to improve the wear resistance of titanium alloys by ball
burnishing process. Burnishing process parameters such as burnishing speed, burnishing …

A wide range of surface modification processes has been developed over the past decades.
Beside the well-established processes such as shot peening, there are other emerging …

Abstract 3D-printed metals have great potential for application in the biomedical and the
aerospace industries. Unfortunately, they suffer from poor surface finish, high porosity, and …

Ball burnishing is a popular post-machining metal finishing operation. An attempt has been
made in this paper to optimize the process parameters during burnishing of titanium alloy (Ti …

Ball-burnishing is a superfinishing process commonly applied to improve the surface
integrity (surface roughness, residual stress, microstructure, hardness) of a mechanical …

Given that the surface acts as the primary interface with the surrounding environment, the
surface integrity of a component significantly influences its operational effectiveness. In the …

The machining of Inconel 718 with high surface integrity and long fatigue life is a
challenging work in aero-industry due to their difficult-to-cut properties. Both the surface …

In the present work a multiscale model was developed to predict fatigue lives of Inconel 718
after a machining process. The model captures the effects of surface integrity like residual …
