Nowadays, the search for new materials is concerning to reduce the relative
“efficiency/weight” ratio and its costs, in general, in the whole manufacturing chain, since the …

The rule of thumb in the machining of nickel base superalloys with ceramic tools is to cut dry
and no attempt of applying MQL with the addition of solid lubricant was made, according to …

The use of fiber metal laminates (FML) in aeronautics components has been increased in
the last years, mainly due to the gain in mechanical properties combined with low specific …

To avoid the use of cutting fluids in machining operations is one goal that has been
searched for by many people in industrial companies, due to ecological and human health …

In machining processes, tool performance is measured by the tool life, which is determined
by the tool wear rate. This rate is strongly dependent on the tool wear mechanisms that …

Machining processes such as milling, which are characterized by interrupted cutting, are
often susceptible to problems involving vibration of the machine-tool-workpiece fixation …

Cutting parameters have a significant influence on the surface finish after turning, which can
generate unwanted surface roughness. Thus, the parameters optimization could be a …

Super duplex stainless steels are extremely corrosion-resistant alloys designed for very
demanding applications that expose them to corrosive environments, such as seawater. Due …

During machining, the workpiece material tends to undergo mechanical and thermal
transformations. Machining Inconel 625 is a challenging task since this material has low …

Grinding is a machining process applied in the manufacture of components that require an
excellent surface finish and high geometric and dimensional precision, being applied in the …
