Challenges and Strategies for Machining Aerospace High-Temperature Materials

Abstract:

The presentation opens with a comparison of high-temperature materials with everyday metals. This will be followed by a discussion of challenges and an understanding of the machinability of high-temperature materials. Next, various strategies for machining high-temperature materials, along with practical real-life case studies, will be presented. We will be introducing the concept of Feed Milling and its advantages. Pocket Milling is among challenging operations, and we will discuss existing and alternate methods of pocket milling. Finally, we will discuss the Barrel mill concept for faster profile machining and a few other solutions.1
