Abstract Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) techniques constitute a family of Additive Manufacturing
(AM) processes, which are characterised by high design flexibility and no tooling …

Today, superalloys (also known as hard-to-cut materials) such as nickel, titanium and cobalt
based cover a wide range of areas in engineering applications. At the same time …

Superalloys find widespread application in demanding environments owing to their robust
strength and high resistance to heat and corrosion. Nonetheless, these very attributes …

Cryogenic machining is becoming a sustainable choice due to its extraordinary performance
(such as non-toxic and environmentally friendly) superiority to other traditional coolants and …

In recent years, much progress has been made on the development of aerospace materials
for structural and engine applications. Alloys, such as Al-based alloys, Mg-based alloys, Ti …

The current study delves into the combined influence of lubrication and cooling on the
machinability of a difficult-to-cut superalloy. A comparative study of four lubricating mediums …

Although nickel-based aerospace superalloys such as alloy 625 have superior properties
including high-tensile and fatigue strength, corrosion resistance and good weldability, etc …

The microstructure, thermal and mechanical stability of Ni-based single crystalline
superalloys depend strongly on the alloying elements and their concentrations. Alloying has …

The current study investigates the effects of a wide range of process parameters on three
part properties; density, surface roughness, and surface residual stresses simultaneously for …

The poor thermal conductivity of Inconel 718 leads to higher cutting temperatures and, as a
consequence, rapid tool degradation is a common phenomenon. As a result, a hybrid lubri …
