Abstract

Developments in nontraditional machining techniques can result in the manufacture of gas turbine engines that are lighter, more powerful and more fuel efficient. Processes such as abrasive flow machining, laser drilling, ECM, EDM, orbital abrading and ultrasonic machining are capable of machining advanced “engineered” materials with complex shapes requiring close tolerances and fine surface finishes. Encouraging the development and use of nontraditional machining techniques in turbine engine applications can accelerate the introduction of more advanced engine designs.
