Superalloys have gained prominence in recent years in various sectors, namely, spacecraft,
marine, power, defense, vehicular and others, due to their ability to withstand high …

Due to lower thermal conductivity and high chemical reactivity Ti6Al4V is considered as the
difficult to machine aerospace material. To improve the machinability both AlTiN coated …

Throughout this book we have discussed geometric accuracy, surface finish, and property
limitations of AM. When a part comes out of an AM machine, there may still be a number of …

Machining of Incoloy 800 is challenging, which can be attributed to the low thermal
conductivity, hot strength, accord for insert material and propensity to work harder. This study …

The study investigates tool vibration during finish turning of austenitic steel (Nitronic 60)
using a new-generation SiAlON ceramic cutting insert under dry conditions. Three …

In the below investigation, artificial-neural-network (ANN) and response-surface-
methodology (RSM) predictive tools shall be applied for predicting “surface roughness” on …

Traditionally, the turning of hardened steel is accomplished with cutting tools made of
materials like ceramics, cubic boron nitride (CBN), diamond, etc. Due to advances in the …

Previously cubic boron nitride (CBN) and ceramic inserts were used for the dry turning of
heat-treated D3 tool steel with cutting speed beyond 200 m/min, suffers from severe tool …

In the current investigation, a novel optimization algorithm, named the Duelist algorithm
(DA), is employed for optimizing the roundness error by the proper selection of the input …

The 3D cutting simulation of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy material by trapezoidal chip breaking
groove tool with different land width was carried out by ABAQUS, and the cutting force in …
