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.
