... value 0.12837, then a reduced TOC m can be obtained. It is also realized that if the TOC m can be kept lower than the critical DOC ( DOC c r ) , then ductile finishing of brittle materials can be achieved. The above phenomenon has been substantiated by experimental findings while machining a hard...

.... Through our extensive review, it was discovered that there are five key elements to a reliable integrated rapid manufacturing system: process planning software, motion system, control system, unit manufacturing process, and a finishing process. By studying the manner in which all other systems have been...

...Dongdong Zhang; Pinghai Yang; Xiaoping Qian This paper presents an approach for generating curvature-adaptive finishing tool paths with bounded error directly from massive point data in three-axis computer numerical control (CNC) milling. This approach uses the moving least-squares (MLS) surface...

...Jia Tao; Albert J. Shih; Jun Ni This study investigates the dry and near-dry electrical discharge machining (EDM) milling to achieve a high material removal rate (MRR) and fine surface finish for roughing and finishing operations, respectively. Dry EDM uses gas and near-dry EDM applies a liquid-gas...

... in cutting loads on the tool, resulting in geometric inaccuracy of the machined workpiece surface. This paper presents an algorithm to generate a new offset tool path, such that the cutting engagement is regulated at a desired level over the finishing path. The key idea of the proposed algorithm...

...M. Barletta; D. Ceccarelli; S. Guarino; V. Tagliaferri The relatively new technique of fluidized bed assisted abrasive jet machining (FB-AJM) is applied to finishing the inner surfaces of tubular Inconel 718 components. The effects of abrasive size, jet pressure, and machining cycle were evaluated...
