Multi-objective optimization approach – Grey Relational Analysis (GRA)

Cutting Tool Materials The cutting tool material is one of the important elements of the machining systems. Cutting tools are required to operate under high loads at elevated temperatures, often well in excess of 1000 􀁱C. The material and geometry...

Les alliages à mémoire de forme

Les alliages à mémoire de forme sont communément appelés AMF (en anglais SMA pour shape memory alloy). Ils sont, de nos jours, de plus en plus connus et utilisés. Plusieurs applications ont vu le jour au cours des dernières décennies...

Modeling of Bulk and Porous Shape Memory Alloys

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have been the focus of extensive research in the past few decades. The unique properties of SMAs have made them a suitable choice in a wide variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, robotics, oil and gas,...

Soudabilité des aciers inoxydables

Soudabilité des aciers inoxydables Les aciers inoxydables sont des aciers fortement alliés basés sur les systèmes Fe-Cr, Fe-Cr-C et Fe-Cr-Ni. Pour être qualifié d’inoxydable, un acier doit (Lippold et Kotecki, 2005) : • Être constitué majoritairement de fer; • Ne...

Machinability Criteria, Tests, and Indices

Machinability Machinability is the ability of a work piece material to machine or be machined. In other words, it indicates how easy or demanding it is to shape a work piece with a cutting tool. Improving machinability may entail, for...
