The routine overhaul and repair of gas turbine components requires dimensional restoration of many components. This process is usually accomplished by using various thermal sprays to build up the worn part surface and then machining or grinding the thermal sprays to correct part tolerances and dimensions. These surfaces usually contain numerous holes that generate heavily interrupted surfaces to be machined. The combination of interrupted cuts and a very wear resistant thermal spray causes rapid tool wear on conventional carbide cutting tools. This rapid tool wear also produces poor surface finish, part taper, chipping around the hole edges, and increased tool pressure that could result in lifting or peeling of the sprayed material from the parent metal. This paper summarizes the results of machining nickel based thermal sprays with polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) cutting tools. The tests have shown a minimum 2–5x improvement in surface finish, dimensional control, part taper and up to 10x increase in productivity. The PCBN tools also generated lower cutting forces resulting in reduced stress and higher bond strengths in the part. This paper presents the data collected and the recommended machining parameters developed under controlled conditions for machining air plasma sprayed Metco 443, Metco 450, Inconel 718, two wire arc applied TAFA 75B, TAFA 73MXC, and high velocity oxygen fuel applied Inconel 718.

Prediction of temperature in the tool, chip, and workpiece surface is important to study tool wear, residual stresses in the machined part, and to design cutting tool substrates and coating. This paper presents a finite difference method-based prediction of temperature distribution in the tool, chip, and workpiece surface for transient conditions. The model allows inclusion of anisotropic materials such as coating or different material properties. The energy is created in the primary shear zone where the metal is sheared, the secondary deformation zone where the chip moves on the tool rake face with friction, and the tertiary zone where the flank face of the tool rubs against the finished part surface. The model allows both sticking and sliding friction contact of the moving chip on the rake face of the tool. The distribution of temperature is evaluated by meshing chip, workpiece surface zone, and tool into small discrete elements. The heat transfer among the elements is modeled, and the temperature is predicted at the center of each element. The heat transfer to the tool, workpiece, and chip is iteratively evaluated. The predicted temperature values are compared against the experimental measurements collected with coated tools in turning.

High speed photography using the Cranz-Schardin camera was performed to study the crack divergence and divergence angle in thermally tempered glass. A tempered 3.5 mm thick glass plate was used as a specimen. It was shown that two types of bifurcation and branching existed as the crack divergence. The divergence angle was smaller than the value calculated from the principle of optimal design and showed an acute angle.

Optimal design is a design which required in determining the points of variable factors that would be attempted to optimize the relevant information so that fulfilled the desired criteria. The optimal fulfillment criteria based on the information matrix of the selected model.
