Identification of Key Performance Indicators in Project-Based Organisations through the Lean Approach
(MDPI, 2020-07-24)
For the time being, companies and organisations are being forced to compete in utterly complex and globalised environments, facing massive natural, economic, and technological challenges on a daily basis. Addressing these ...
Advanced Manufacturing Centres, Practical Model to Boost Technology Transfer in Manufacturing
(MDPI, 2019-09)
Establishing collaboration strategies with interdisciplinary networks in research is a crucial success factor for the companies in any sector, especially in manufacturing for aeronautics. In the aeronautical supply chain, ...
CO2 cryogenic milling of Inconel 718: cutting forces and tool wear Author links open overlay panel
(Elsevier, 2020-07)
Machining Inconel 718 alloy is a challenge due to its low machinability. This thermal resis-tant alloy combines high strength even at high temperatures with strain hardening tendency that causes high forces and extreme ...
Drilling Process in γ-TiAl Intermetallic Alloys
(MDPI, 2018-11-26)
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 ...
Prediction Methods and Experimental Techniques for Chatter Avoidance in Turning Systems: A Review
(MDPI, 2019-11)
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 ...
Hole Making by Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) of -TiAl Intermetallic Alloys
(MDPI, 2018-07)
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 ...
Improving Stability Prediction in Peripheral Milling of Al7075T6
(MDPI, 2018-08)
Chatter is an old enemy to machinists but, even today, is far from being defeated. Current requirements around aerospace components call for stronger and thinner workpieces which are more prone to vibrations. This study ...
Sensitivity Analysis of Tool Wear in Drilling of Titanium Aluminides
(MDPI, 2019-03-06)
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 ...
Super Abrasive Machining of Integral Rotary Components Using Grinding Flank Tools
(MDPI, 2018-01-01)
Manufacturing techniques that are applied to turbomachinery components represent a challenge in the aeronautic sector. These components require high resistant super-alloys in order to satisfy the extreme working conditions ...
Comparison of Flank Super Abrasive Machining vs. Flank Milling on Inconel® 718 Surfaces
(MDPI, 2018-09)
Thermoresistant superalloys present many challenges in terms of machinability, which leads to finding new alternatives to conventional manufacturing processes. In order to face this issue, super abrasive machining (SAM) ...
