Titanium and nickel alloys have been used widely due to their admirable physical and
mechanical properties, which also result in poor machinability for these alloys. Improvement …

Manufacturing processes are among the most energy intensive on earth. As negative
ecological and economic impacts increase, reducing energy consumption is becoming …

Tools for metal cutting have many shapes and features, each of which is described by its
angles or geometries. The selection of the right cutting tool geometry is critical because it …

Environmental impact concerns have prompted various ecodirectives and legislation
requiring manufacturing industries to take a greater role in reducing energy consumption …

Features of chip formation can inform the mechanism of a machining process. In this paper,
a series of orthogonal cutting experiments were carried out on unidirectional carbon fiber …

The chip formation in machining operations is commonly accomplished by a combination of
several elements working together to complete the job. Among these components, cutting …

This paper investigates the brittle removal mechanism of ductile materials in ultra-high
speed machining (UHSM). Firstly, a predictive model of critical cutting speed for UHSM is …

The weakest link in the design of high-efficiency drilling operations is the readiness of
cutting tool users/machining operation designer/planners and cutting tool manufacturers …

In the process of micro-removal machining SiCp/Al, the real-time prediction of cutting force is
of great significance to ensure the surface quality of the workpiece and safe production …

Al/SiCp composite machining is considerably difficult owing to the presence of hard particles
that result in complex friction at the tool-chip interface. To provide a more comprehensive …
