Abstract: Anisotropy of workpiece crystals has a significant effect in micromachining since the uncut chip thickness values used in micromachining are commensurate with characteristic dimensions of crystals ...

Abstract: For a range of precision machining and micromachining operations, the crystallographic anisotropy plays a critical role in determining the machining forces. Part II of this work presents the ...

Abstract: With the increased application of micromachining, including micromilling and microdrilling, the need to develop accurate models for machining at the microscale has been recognized. In particular, ...

Abstract: In electrical-assisted forming (EAF), current is passed through the material during the deformation process, which results in a decrease in the required flow stress for the material. While ...
