  • Investigation into the grinding of titanium alloys 
    Wang, S. H. (Cranfield University, 2000-07)
    Titanium alloys are used extensively in the aerospace industry due to their high specific strength and excellent corrosion resistance. However, their poor thermal conductivity and high chemical reactivity with tool ...
  • Jig-Less Assembly for Aerospace Manufacture 
    Snelling, Peter D. (2000)
    Due to the high level of investment required to compete successively in the global aerospace and automotive markets, these industries are forced to form partnerships wherever possible and thereby share their resources ...
  • Machining surfaces of optical quality by hard turning 
    Knuefermann, Markus M. W. (Cranfield UniversitySchool of Industrial and Manufacturing Science, 2003-11)
    The main aim of this work was the machining by hard turning of surfaces with optical surface quality. A numerical target had been set as a surface roughness Ra = 10nm. It has been shown that achieving roughness of that ...
  • Modelling and evaluation of time-varying thermal errors in machine tool elements 
    Gim, Taeweon (Cranfield University, 1997-04)
    This thesis addresses a comprehensive approach to understanding the time-varying thermal errors in machine tools. Errors in machine tools are generally classified as being time or spatial dependent. Thermal errors are ...
  • Processing and fluid flow characteristics of hot isostatically pressed porous alumina for aerostatic bearing applications 
    Kwan, Y. B. P (Cranfield University, 1996-12)
    Despite their well known superior load and stiffness characteristics, the wide-spread use of porous aerostatic bearings in preference to other bearing types has been hampered by difficulties in controlling the permeability ...
