The paper highlights the importance of process parameters in the electromagnetic sheet metal forming process. Aluminium alloy I(Al6061T6) sheets with varying thicknesses were deformed by varying current, voltage and number of turns of the coil. A numerical model was also developed to predict the behaviour of the sheet under different processing conditions. The simulation and experimental results were in good agreement.

The paper provides a comparative study of dry, wet and cryogenic turning of Ti-6Al-4V. Usually, it is recommended that titanium should be machined under lubrication, however, conventional lubricants are considered carcinogenic and health hazards. In this regard, cryogenic cooling using liquid Nitrogen provides an environment friendly option to machine Titanium based alloys.

This research work correlates the wear progression and Specific Cutting Energy (SCE) in turning Ti-6Al-4V alloy using H13 tools (uncoated carbide) in dry conditions from low to high cutting speeds. Flank wear growth of the tool has been investigated at different length of cuts in correlation with the SCE under different cutting conditions. The useful tool life was found to be shorter at high-speed machining conditions, as compared to low-speed machining conditions.

A contour error prediction model based on LSTM (long short-term memory) is established. By inputting power, vibration signal, and temperature values, the contour error of parts can be predicted to adjust the feed speed in real time. In this way, we can obtain not only higher machining accuracy, but also higher machining efficiency and reduce the scrap rate. The model is compared with other models, and the optimal model is selected to obtain the optimal prediction effect.

Under the condition of high temperature, high pressure and severe friction, the micro-texture hole or groove will be filled with chips quickly and lose its function. The texture with a larger aperture is made on the tool rake face, which is connected with the internal cooling hole so as to achieve the functions of cooling, lubricating, reducing friction, changing chip state, reducing cutting force, prolonging tool life and reducing production cost during rough machining.

In order to improve the antiwear performance of the cylinder liner, friction and wear during the running-in process are investigated. Friction and wear tests are designed under different operating conditions, and the coefficient of friction (COF) and surface profile are measured. The influences of load and runtime on the COF and surface morphology are serious, and proper loading can reduce the running-in time. This research can provide support for theoretical research on cylinder liners.

Short summary
The research into micro machining of advanced alloys finds its applications in the aerospace, automotive, biomedical and healthcare and other industrial areas. One of the major concern is to produce parts at micro level without further rework, specifically surface finish. In order to achieve this, suitable process parameters and machining strategy needs to be identified for advanced alloy. The research presented here focuses on this aspect of the machining of Titanium Alloy.
