Gamma titanium aluminides (gamma-TiAl) present an excellent behavior under high temperature conditions, being a feasible alternative to nickel-based superalloy components in the aeroengine sector. However, considered as a ...

In the aerospace industry, a large number of holes need to be drilled to mechanically connect the components of aircraft engines. The working conditions for such components demand a good response of their mechanical ...

Due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion and wear resistance, gamma-TiAl alloys are selected for aerospace and automotive applications. Since these materials are difficult to cut and machine by ...

The general trend towards lightweight components and stronger but difficult to machine materials leads to a higher probability of vibrations in machining systems. Amongst them, chatter vibrations are an old enemy for ...
