... and the machinability through micro-drilling of Inconel-718. In this study, a wide range of microstructures with hardness ranging from 179 HV to 461 HV was achieved by different thermomechanical and heat-treatment processes. Flank wear, thrust force, and burr height analysis were carried out to understand the machining...

... force and torque. Drilling experiments showed a net reduction of 17.18% in thrust force and 26.98% in torque while machining Ti–6Al–4V using the flute and margin textured tool, which justified the effectiveness of micro scale textures in minimizing the chip evacuation forces. The experimental analysis...
