Surface Integrity - 3D simulation of thermomechanical loads for turbomachinery components
How does the machining process affect the thermomechanical loads and the workpiece SI?
Challenge and Motivation
- Surface integrity parameters determine functionality and life cycle of turbomachinery components.
- The final surface rim zone is affected by each machining step along the manufacturing process chain and is primarily influenced by the machining-induced thermomechanical loads.
Objective
- Extension of the database with numerical results, to analyze the influence of process parameters on the thermomechanical loads.
