Advances in Manufacturing for Aerospace Alloys, Selim Gürgen, Editör, Springer Nature, Eskişehir, ss.47-76, 2024
This chapter offers an insightful examination of the advancements in machining aerospace materials, focusing on ultrasonic vibration-assisted (UVA) machining and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) techniques. It begins with an introduction to the unique challenges associated with machining these advanced materials and how UVA machining and MQL have emerged as innovative solutions to address these challenges. The chapter then systematically explores the effects of these techniques on various aspects of the machining process. It discusses how UVA machining and MQL influence cutting forces, leading to potential reductions in tool wear and energy consumption. The impact on surface quality is also examined, highlighting improvements in terms of both physical appearance and structural integrity. The chapter further discusses the changes in chip morphologies that result from employing UVA machining and MQL, which are crucial for understanding the material removal mechanisms and overall machining efficiency. Finally, it addresses the implications of these techniques on tool wear, emphasizing their potential to extend tool life and maintain machining accuracy. This chapter not only synthesizes current research but also provides practical insights for industry professionals seeking to optimize machining processes for aerospace materials.
