HRSA materials are used in aircraft turbine applications because of their high strength at elevated temperatures. Ever since their introduction many years ago, heat resistant super alloys (HRSA) have ...

Boring, also called internal turning, is used to increase the inside diameter of a hole. The original hole is made with a drill, or it may be a cored hole in a casting. Boring achieves three things: ...

Modern CNC machine shops face relentless pressure to boost productivity, shorten cycle times, and reduce costs — all while preserving tool life, part quality and process reliability. They must meet ...

Just steps north of the iconic Ellen Browning Scripps Memorial Pier, a cluster of unassuming buildings lines a small parking ...

Machinists like to live on the edge, but they always want to know precisely where it is. If you’ve watched any machining videos (*cough*) then you’ve seen heavy use of digital readouts on machines. A ...

CNC machining has long been at the forefront of precision manufacturing, harnessing computerised control systems to execute complex geometries through numerically guided cutting tools. The ...

Uncontrolled vibration creates multiple problems in metalcutting operations. Varying forces in the cutting process cause vibration and tool chatter that degrade part surface quality, quickly wear or ...
