Additive manufacturing (AM) is characterised by several unique advantages, such as
(freedom of) design, capability of fusing dissimilar materials, near-net-shape, and achieving …

Difficult-to-machine materials are characterized by high hardness, strength, and anisotropy.
During machining, tools can suffer from adhesion, abrasion, material detachment, and high …

Aero-engines, the core of air travel, rely on advanced high strength-toughness alloys
(THSAs) such as titanium alloys, nickel-based superalloys, intermetallics, and ultra-high …

Tool life, dimension accuracy and surface quality of workpiece, intelligent operation and
maintenance of automated production are closely related to tool wear. However, for many …

Abstract The titanium alloy Ti6Al4V has several applications and is considered as a difficult-
to-machine material. This study evaluates some tribological interactions in finish turning of …

The present paper addresses an ecological machining method in turning Hastelloy C 276
Nickel alloy under different conditions such as dry, oil with least quantity lubrication (LQL) …

The chip formation mechanism is a key factor in determining cutting stability and machined
surface integrity. At present, the research on chip formation mechanism is mainly focused on …

In this study, the tribological behaviour of different Diamond-like-Carbon (DLC) coatings
sliding against titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) was analysed in a pin-on-disc tribometer at different …

The additive manufactured technology is widely applied to produce titanium alloy parts with
complex structures. The subsequent machining operations are necessary for additive …

Titanium alloys are known for being difficult to machine. Within the groups of Ti alloys, the
machinability is reduced when going from the α-alloys, to α+ β, and finally to near-β or β …
