New developments in vibration assisted machining of aerospace materials

ABSTRACT: Presented is an update of the recent literature on advances in difficult to machine materials such as nickel and titanium-based alloys, and composites used in aeroengine and aerostructure applications. The review covers ultrasonic vibration-assisted machining and the combination of this technique with minimum quantity lubrication and high-pressure cooling. Also discussed are low-frequency vibration-assisted aerospace alloy drilling and low- and high-frequency vibration-assisted drilling of stacks.
