A housing component includes a flange defining a center point and having an end face formed with microstructures in a first region and a second region to increase a local friction coefficient. The microstructures have each a blade shape with a cutting line, the cutting line in the first region being arranged concentrically about a first local center point, and the cutting line in the second region being arranged concentrically about a second local center point. The first and second local center points have different radial distances from the center point of the flange.

A processed article is manufactured with a tool including a cutting blade. The cutting blade is arranged to be in contact with two machined segment surfaces so that two contact points are defined between the two machined segment surfaces and the cutting blade in a corner. A machining pitch is set in a pick feed direction of the tool at the corner to a first machining pitch for when a part of the cutting blade corresponding to a projected shape of a side surface of the cutting blade having a first curvature radius is a cutting point. A cut is performed along a feed direction in the two adjacent machined segment surfaces successively at the corner so that the tool proceeds toward the corner in one of the machined segment surfaces and away from the corner in the other one of the machined segment surfaces.

A cutting insert is provided, comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, and side surfaces spanning therebetween, the side surfaces comprising one or more feed-facing side surfaces and one or more radial-facing side surfaces. The top surface is formed with one or more linear grooves, each constituting a chip breaker and being disposed parallel to and adjacent one of the feed-facing side surfaces. The chip breaker is characterized by a constant profile along the entire length of its respective feed-facing surface. Each of the feed-facing side surfaces is disposed at an acute feed-angle with respect to the top surface, and each of the radial-facing side surfaces being disposed at an acute radial-angle with respect to the top surface, the feed-angle being greater than the radial-angle.

A milling device for machining a slot into an inner surface of a casing for a gas turbine engine. The milling device includes a frame assembly including multiple structural guides configured to engage structural features on the inner surface of the casing to maintain an axial position of the milling device relative to a longitudinal axis of the casing. The milling device also includes a milling cutter coupled to the frame assembly. The milling device is configured to be displaced in a circumferential direction relative to the longitudinal axis to machine the slot, via the milling cutter, along the inner surface of the casing in the circumferential direction.

A circular milling tool for producing a microgroove structure in a cylindrical surface of a bore, the microgroove structure having a groove profile defined by plural microgrooves axially spaced apart and peripherally extend in a circular manner, comprising: a tool base body drivable around an axis of rotation, which carries a circumferential cutter set with first and second circumferential cutters, which are arranged in a row in the circumferential direction, the first circumferential cutter and second circumferential cutter each have a cutting profile that differs from the groove profile of the microgroove structure to be produced, and the circumferentially projected cutting profiles of the circumferential cutters of the circumferential cutter set overlap each other in an axial direction to an extent that they jointly image the defined groove profile of the microgroove structure to be generated. Also, a method for producing a microgroove structure in a bore.

A cutting tool is described herein that includes a body configured to rotate around a rotational axis. The cutting tool also includes a first plurality of cutting teeth each extending radially outwardly from the body, each cutting tooth of the first plurality of cutting teeth includes a cutting section positioned on a first side of a rotational plane that extends radially outwardly from the rotational axis and a non-cutting section positioned on a second, opposite side of the rotational plane. The cutting tool also includes a second plurality of cutting teeth each extending radially outwardly from the body, each cutting tooth of the second plurality of cutting teeth includes a cutting section positioned on the second side of the rotational plane and a non-cutting section positioned on the first side of the rotational plane.
