An increasing amount of blade integrated disks (Blisks) is used in turbine engines. These integrally milled components offer benefits regarding to their performance-to-weight ratio. However, in case of failure, partial ...

Grinding is one of the most important manufacturing processes, especially when high surface qualities have to be realized or if hard or brittle materials have to be machined. Often the grinding performance is limited by ...

The endurance of highly loaded parts such as bearings is influenced by their surface integrity. Low surface roughness and high compressive residual stresses lead to an increased lifetime. In contrast to grinding and honing, ...

Residual stresses can cause part distortion especially in the case of large components such as structural parts in aerospace industry. Therefore, this paper investigates the machining induced residual stresses for milling ...
