Special Issue on: "Advanced Manufacturing of Engine Components for the Aeronautical Sector"

Guest Editors:
Francisco J. Campa and Naiara Ortega, University of the Basque Country, Spain

The current trend in the aeronautical sector demands more efficient aero-engines, which means more advanced manufacturing processes for new components and materials. This special issue will cover the state-of-the-art in manufacturing processes, machines, tools, metrology and inspection for the manufacturing of components for the aero-engine of the future.

Subject Coverage
Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Advanced processes for aero-engine components manufacturing
• Machining of superalloys and other advanced materials
• New advances in machining processes (turning, milling, drilling, grinding, turn-milling, multitasking)
• Non-conventional machining processes (EDM, chemical machining, ultrasonic machining and other processes)
• Advanced welding processes
• Advanced forming processes
• Advanced casting processes
• Lasers and laser processing
• Additive manufacturing
• Modelling of manufacturing processes for aero-engine manufacturing
• Process dynamics modelling
• Chip formation modelling
• Modelling of temperatures
• Modelling of surface integrity
• Advanced machine tools and mechatronic systems for aero-engine components manufacturing
• Innovative fixtures
• New tools for aero-engine components manufacturing
• New metrology and surface integrity control systems
