- The planned material volume to be removed from a blank to create the final shape of a part is commonly referred to as allowance. Determination of machining allowance is essential and has a great impact on productivity. The objective of the present work is to use a case study to investigate how a prior rough milling operation affects the finish machined surface and, after that, to use this knowledge to design a methodology for how to assess the machining allowance for subsequent milling operations based on residual stresses. Subsequent milling operations were performed to study the final surface integrity across a milled slot. This was done by rough ceramic milling followed by finish milling in seven subsequent steps. The results show that the up-, centre and down-milling induce different stresses and impact depths. Employing the developed methodology, the depth where the directional influence of the milling process diminishes has been shown to be a suitable minimum limit for the allowance. At this depth, the plastic flow causing severe deformation is not present anymore. It was shown that the centre of the milled slot has the deepest impact depth of 500 µm, up-milling caused an intermediate impact depth of 400 µm followed by down milling with an impact depth of 300 µm. With merged envelope profiles, it was shown that the effects from rough ceramic milling are gone after 3 finish milling passes, with a total depth of cut of 150 µm. © 2021 by the authors.

- Fatigue performance is crucial for gas turbine components, and it is greatly affected by the manufacturing processes. Ability to predict the expected fatigue life of a component based on surface integrity has been the objective in this work, enabling new processing methods. Alloy 718 samples were prepared by different machining setups, evaluated in fatigue testing and surface integrity investigations. These results generated two predictive statistical multi-variate regression models. The fatigue correlated well with roughness, residual stresses and deformation. The two models showed great potential, which encourages further exploration to fine-tune the procedure for the particular case. © 2020 The Authors

- The use of cutting fluids is commonly considered a necessity while machining Heat Resistant Super Alloys (HRSA). Specifically, cutting fluids applied under high-pressure, which for many decades have been the solution for the most demanding applications. The results might be diverse and vary between applications, but typically leads to improved tool life, enhanced chip breakability, lower temperature in the cutting zone and better surface quality of the finished product. The available high-pressure cutting fluid delivery systems are usually designed with the intention to improve the cutting fluid penetration at the vicinity of the cutting edge on the rake face side of the insert. However, there has been limited interest in investigating high-pressure cutting fluid applied to its flank face. Both specifically and in combination with cutting fluid directed to the rake face. In this study, the focus has been to investigate the chip formation process during the turning of Alloy 718 (Inconel 718). Particularly, for a defined turning operation where high-pressure cutting fluid is applied to the flank side as well as the rake side of an uncoated carbide insert. Several combinations of pressure levels and jet directions were investigated. The corresponding effects on the tool-chip contact zone and chip characteristics were studied for two cutting speeds. The results of the investigation showed a substantial improvement in lowering the tool-chip contact area at a rake pressure of 16 MPa. At which pressure, additional cutting fluid applied to the flank at a moderate pressure of 8 MPa had no dominant effect on chip formation (chip break). However, flank cooling of the cutting zone supports chip segmentation and thus indirectly chip breakability. For cutting fluid applied to the rake side at a more moderate pressure of 8 MPa, more prominent effects on the insert became apparent when additional cutting fluid was applied to the flank side. This was particularly noticeable when cutting fluid was directed towards the flank side of the insert at the same pressure level as the cutting fluid applied towards its rake face. The additional thermal transfer was seen to have a significant effect on the material deformation phenomena in the primary shear zone (lowering shear angle) as well as the sliding and sticking conditions of the tool-chip interface. Based on the evidence from this study, it can be concluded that cutting fluid applied towards the flank side of the insert has a significant impact on the cutting process. In particular, if applied in combination with a rake pressure at a similar level, in this case, 8 MPa. © 2021 The Authors
