Contents:
Light alloys and their machinability: A review. Investigation on the built-up edge process when dry machining aeronautical aluminum alloys. Advances in the machining of holes and internal threads in light alloys. Design, manufacturing, and machining trials of magnesium-based hybrid parts. Laser surface processing of magnesium alloys. Sensor monitoring of titanium alloy machining. Cryogenic machining of titanium alloys. Advanced technologies in drilling of light alloys and CFRP hybrid stacks for airframe structure manufacturing in the aerospace industry.
Abstract: Light alloys, including aluminum, magnesium, and titanium are used due to their low density which makes them well suited in the manufacturing process when reduction of weight is necessary. Aircrafts, cars, consumable goods, sports equipment, and motorsports applications to name just a few, are what light alloys are used for. The special characteristics of these alloys challenge the knowledge of researchers and the industry in finding the best solutions for machining them in the framework of sustainable manufacturing. This book will provide an understanding of the main problems and issues when machining light alloys.
