AMG - Advanced Machining Group

Advanced Machining Group (AMG) is a dynamic research group with expertise that encompasses the following main topics:

Experimental and modeling of machining operations with particular focus on difficult-to-cut materials such as Inconel, Ti6Al4V super alloys and CFRP composites for aerospace applications, Hardened tool steel for mould and die applications.
Work piece surface integrity analysis (SEM, XRD, EDX, roughness) of machined surfaces to enable safe operation of critical-safety parts
Experimental and modeling of non-conventional machining operations (e.g. electrical discharge machining, water jet cutting; laser cutting; ultrasonic assisted milling; TIG/MIG and friction welding)
Innovative monitoring of manufacturing processes using a wide range of sensing solutions (force cells, accelerometers, thermal imager, thermocouple, strain gauges, etc)
Development of original concepts of robotized machine tools to enable processing in restrained workspaces
Design, development and testing of novel cutting tool for processing high value components
Currently, the PMG research team coordinates an overall project research grants up to RM 3 million from government funded research project and industrial collaborations.
