Wire electric discharge machining (WEDM) shapes high-strength components by removing material through controlled thermal erosion. A recent study optimized WEDM parameters for AISI 1045 medium carbon ...

Precipitation-hardenable (PH) stainless steels are turning up in more and more aerospace applications because they can be age hardened, sometimes after being cold worked, to various strength levels ...

Federal-Mogul Corp. is commercializing a new method for machining bushingless steel pistons destined for heavy-duty diesel engines. The powertrain parts manufacturer claims its High Precision ...

Carbon steel, also called plain carbon steel, is a malleable, iron-based metal containing carbon, small amounts of manganese, and other elements that are inherently present. Steels can either be cast ...

As mentioned, the machinability of PM steels is improved by exerting a focused effect on the workpiece properties, through addition of different free machining additives closing pores by impregnation ...

CNC machining is a cost-effective production method when implemented effectively. Ensuring that CNC machining is cost-effective, that it allows operation the best opportunity to meet its fullest ...

The results presented in the previous chapters show the complexicity of machining processes in powder metallurgy parts production. Regarding this fact, in the following chapter generalized data are ...

Cutting and finishing steel tubes to exact dimensions using precision machining techniques. What steps ensure accuracy and consistency in every piece? Coffee found to have startling effect on aging, ...

Machining is one of those fascinating fields that bridges the pre-scientific and scientific eras. As such, it has gone from a discipline full of home-spun acquired wisdom and crusty old superstitions ...
