As an alternative to natural application of ultrasonic milling in brittle materials, in this study, ultrasonics have been applied to a difficult-to-cut material, Alloy 718, very common in high-temperature applications. Results show alterations in the sub-superficial part of the material which could influence fatigue resistance of the material, as it has been observed in a fatigue test campaign of specimens obtained with the application of ultrasonic milling in comparison with another batch obtained applying conventional milling. Tool wear pattern was found to be very similar for both milling technologies, concluding the study with the analysis of cutting forces, exhibiting certain improvement in case of the application of ultrasonic milling with a more stable evolution.11enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessjournal article10.1007/s11665-016-2343-6Alloy 718face millingfatiguesurface integrityultrasonic-assisted millingGeneral Materials ScienceMechanics of MaterialsMechanical Engineeringhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=84988734829&partnerID=8YFLogxK
