Rachid M’Saoubi, Seco Tools, Alcester, United Kingdom, will present a seminar on “High Performance Cutting of Aerospace Alloys and Composites”.
ABSTRACT
This presentation will provide an overview of the recent advances in high performance cutting of aerospace alloys and composite currently used in aeroengine and aerostructure applications. Progress in cutting tool development and its effect on tool wear and surface integrity characteristics of difficult to machine materials such as nickel based alloys, titanium and composites is presented. Further, advances in cutting technologies are discussed, focusing on the role of hybrid machining processes and cooling strategies (MQL, high pressure coolant, cryogenic) on machining performance. Finally, industrial perspectives are provided in the context of machining specific components where future challenges are discussed.
PRESENTER
Dr. Rachid M’Saoubi received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering in 1998 at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure D’Arts et Métiers (ENSAM) in Paris, France. He joined the Swedish Institute for Metals Research (SIMR, Stockholm) in 1998 where he conducted research projects in cooperation with cutting tool manufacturers and steel companies. He has been employed since 2006 as a Senior Research Scientist at Seco Tools AB in Sweden. He is currently an R&D Specialist in the Materials and Technology development department. His main research interests are in investigation of cutting tool and work material aspects in the machining processes, including surface integrity, wear mechanisms and machining performance. Some of Dr. R. M’Saoubi's key achievements are the development and application of experimental methods for studying thermal, microstructural and tribological aspects of machining processes. Examples of this are the development of infrared sensing methods for tool temperature measurement, and the application of X-Ray and Electron Back Scattered Diffraction (EBSD) methods for studying deformation in manufacturing processes. He is a fellow of the International Academy of Production Engineering (CIRP) and the current chairman of the CIRP scientific technical committee (STC C) dedicated to cutting processes.
