Inconel 718, a high-temperature alloy, is a promising material for high-performance aerospace gas turbine engines components. However, the machining of the alloy is difficult owing to immense shear strength, rapid work hardening rate during turning, and less thermal conductivity. Hence, like ceramics and composites, the machining of this alloy is considered as difficult-to-turn materials. Laser...

This paper presents a low-profile bidirectional folding actuator based on annealed shape memory alloy sheets applicable for mesoand microscale systems. Despite the advantages of shape memory alloys—high strain, silent operation, and mechanical simplicity—their application is often limited to unidirectional operation. We present a bidirectional folding actuator that produces two opposing 180 mot...

Purpose: A study on the hot deformation behaviour and dynamic structural processes (dynamic precipitation operating during deformation at elevated temperatures) of nickel based superalloy was presented. Design/methodology/approach: Compression tests were carried out on precipitations hardenable nickel based superalloy of Inconel 718 at constant true strain rates of 10-4, 4x10-4s-1 within a temp...

Abstract This study here by presents a method for comparative assessment of grinding wheels during the grinding process of hard-to-cut materials. The method in question consists of carrying out a short grinding cut in plunge grinding kinematics using grinding wheels with a customized macro-geometry upon the active surface. The work presents examples of this method’s efficacy when applied to the...

Some metals and alloys have special characteristics that enable them to provide superior corrosion-resistant metal surfaces. These protective passive films are responsible for the phenomenon of passivity. Metals with this characteristic can be categorized as passive materials such as stainless steel 316L and nickel alloy Inconel 625. However, in corrosive environment this protective passive fil...

Titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V and nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718 have been widely employed in modern manufacturing. The published literature on high speed machining (HSM) of the two materials often involves different machining set-up, which makes it difficult to directly apply the research findings from onematerial to the other to select the most appropriate tool geometry and cutting conditions...

A conceptual design is presented for a high power pion production target for neutrino factories and muon colliders that is based on a rotating metal band of either inconel alloy 718, titanium alloy 6Al-4V grade 5 or nickel. The band is 5 meters in diameter and is tangentially intercepted by a pulsed proton beam inside a 20 Tesla tapered solenoidal magnetic pion capture channel. The mechanical l...

among the several non-conventional processes, electrical discharge machining (edm) is the most widely and successfully applied for the machining of conductive parts. in this technique, the tool has no mechanical contact with the work piece and also the hardness of work piece has no effect on the machining pace. hence, this technique could be employed to machine hard materials such as super allo...
