Prestress Assisted Machining: Achieving high surface integrity in thin wall milling by Álvaro Sáinz de la Maza García, Luis Norberto López de Lacalle Marcaide, Gonzalo Martínez de Pissón Caruncho

“…As fatigue is promoted by tensile surface residual stresses, which tend to arise in machining operations, it is common to perform non-conventional post-processing operations to introduce compressive surface residual stresses; this step is costly and sometimes inefficient.This article proposes a novel machining technology to ensure compressive residual stresses near the machined surface, increasing at the same time component rigidity during milling and controlling the tendency to vibrate, which leads to lower surface roughness. …”
