If you have ever been racing down the straightaway at your local track and been blown away, you've probably had time to reflect on the things that you could have done better to go faster. Many times ...

Machining of advanced materials—such as high‐temperature superalloys, titanium alloys, ceramics and composite systems—poses unique challenges owing to their high strength, low thermal conductivity and ...

Chatter refers to self-excited vibrations that arise during cutting operations and limit machining performance by degrading surface finish, accelerating tool wear and imposing restrictions on material ...

Precise hole making is complicated especially when the constituent materials have dissimilar properties. Machining a precise hole in custom CNC aluminium affects surface quality, accuracy, and ...

Manufacturers are under pressure to change, to produce parts and systems that are smaller and lighter, and to do it with lower capital and operating costs – among other idealistic demands. Ideals are ...

Siemens used this test part to demonstrate new state-of-the-art milling techniques. It is made of tool steel hardened to 54 HRC and was machined on a Micron HPM 800U machining center. Something most ...

Mass-change processes are characterized by the removal of material through the use of mechanical, thermal, chemical, or electrical energy. 1 In most instances, the workpiece density is not altered; ...

Machining parts for the orthopedics industry is demanding. Whether it’s joint implants, surgical instruments, molds or forging dies, the materials are difficult, the geometry is complex, and the ...

Modern technology is advancing at such an alarming rate that it’s shaking up the commercial world. From machine learning and AI to IoT and cloud computing, new technologies present new opportunities ...

Humans had to carry out all their machining processes by hand for centuries. Even precision tools had to be maneuvered very carefully, inch by inch, by people holding the devices personally. That all ...

At ILA 2026, Fraunhofer IFAM presents “HYTANK” project results on the efficient production of lightweight hydrogen tanks for zero-emission aviation Researchers from Plasma Technology and Surfaces, ...

Process control can be viewed as the executive portion of a unit process. It provides the means to direct a process so that it produces the desired results. It is complementary to the role played by ...
