FEM Based Design of a Chip Breaker for the Machining with PCD Tools
This paper presents a methodology to design and manufacture a chip breaker in a PCD turning tool.
Laser Cladding of Vanadium-Carbide Tool Steels for Die Repair
A study of the laser cladding of powder metallurgical tool steels has been carried out.
Effect of laser surface hardening on the microstructure, hardness and residual stresses of austempered ductile iron
A study of the laser surface hardening process of two austempered ductile iron grades, with different austempering treatments has been carried out.
Surface state of Inconel 718 ultrasonic shot peened: Effect of processing time, material and quantity of shot balls and distance from radiating surface to simple
Plates of Inconel 718 in precipitated state have been subjected to Ultrasonic Shot Peening (USP), varying the distance from the radiating surface of the booster to the sample, the processing time and the material (WC/Co and steel) and number of shot balls, in order to study the effect of these parameters on the final state generated by the USP process.
Influences of turning parameters in surface residual stresses in AISI 4340 steel
The study of the residual stresses of parts that work under extreme conditions is of great interest, as they will influence the mechanical behavior of the components.
Influence of the coating residual stresses on the tool wear
The use of PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coatings is one of the most common methods to improve the performance of the cutting tools, reducing the wear under heavy loads and high temperatures.
