TL;DR: Ultrasonically assisted machining (UAM) is an advanced machining technique, which has been shown to improve machinability of a β-titanium alloy, namely, Ti-15- 3-3-3, when compared to conventional turning processes.

TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid machining technique called ultrasonically assisted turning (UAT) was used to enhance the machinability of this material, which can reduce nominal cutting forces, improve surface roughness of the machined workpiece and generate shorter chips when compared to conventional machining conditions.

TL;DR: Experimental results showed competitive results for both surface roughness and residual stress in UVAM when compared with conventional milling especially in the low range of frequency with similar trend for tool wear.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new hybrid machining technique called hot ultrasonically assisted turning (HUAT) is introduced for the processing of a Ti-based alloy, which combines UAT with a traditional hot machining to gain combined advantages of both schemes for machining of intractable alloys.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of machining on stress corrosion crack initiation in 304L stainless steel was investigated in high temperature hydrogenated water under slow strain rate tensile test conditions.
