Abstract
Description
Background technique
[0001] Traditional machining is a highly aggressive process. Even at the microscopic scale, such processing almost always results in metallurgical damage, no matter how much care is taken, due to the highly concentrated force applied and the consequent localized high temperature peaks. Such damage may include microcracks, introduction of stress concentrators, oxidation, phase transformation and reduction of beneficial compressive residual stresses and reduction of microhardness. Grinding operations, for example, can generate enough heat to temper the surface of the hardened workpiece, often referred to as abrasive burn, thereby reducing the wear fatigue and contact fatigue properties of the workpiece. In addition, traditional machining has always produced burrs and machining lines. These residual burrs and machining lines must be removed from critical surfaces to reduce wear, friction, operating temperature, scratches, contact fatigue failures (pitting) ...
