Composite materials such as Fiber Metal Laminates (FMLs) have attracted the interest of the
aerospace and automotive industries due to their high strength to weight ratio, but to use …

Aluminum (Al) alloys are of particular importance to the aerospace industry owing to the
combination of characteristics including strength, ductility, toughness, fatigue life and …

This novel work analyzes different cooling and lubrication techniques namely without
coolant (ie dry), with coolant (ie flood), and cryogenic with LCO 2 and LN 2 when drilling …

Tool wear is one of the main parameters employed for evaluating tool life, due to its
influence in the loss of quality of the manufactured parts. So, minimising tool wear is …

The best surface quality that can be achieved in manufactured products has become the
main goal of industrial enterprises in recent years. Due to the subsequent increase in energy …

Tool wear is a significant issue for the application of micro end mills. This can be significantly
improved by coating materials on tool surfaces. This paper investigates the effects of …

This paper presents a preliminary study of aluminium matrix composite materials during
machining, with a special focus on their behavior under conventional processes. This work …

Most of the current works based on surface treatments of metals by laser marking technology
are focused on the modification of the color tonality of flat surfaces, or the development of …

In the most of machining processes, chip morphology and microstructure contain deep
information about the cutting mechanisms, their evolution and, even, about both the process …

This work reports on the results of a study of different macro-geometrical deviation
