A correlation between machining process and fatigue strength of machined components clearly exists.However,a complete picture of the knowledge on this is not readily available for practical applications.This study addresses this issue by investigating the effects of machining methods on fatigue life of commonly used materials,such as titanium alloys,steel,aluminium alloys and nickel alloys from previous literature.Effects of tuing,milling,grinding and different non-conventional machining processes on fatigue strength of above-mentioned materials have been investigated in detail with correlated information.It is found that the effect of materials is not significant except steel in which phase change causes volume expansion,resulting in compressive/tensile residual stresses based onthe amounts of white layers.It is very complex to identify the influence of surface roughness on the fatigue strength of machined components in the presence of residual stresses.The polishing process improves the surface roughness,but removes the surface layers that contain compressive residual stresses to decrease the fatigue strength of polished specimens.The compressive and tensile residual stresses improve and reduce fatigue strength,respectively.Grinding process induces tensile residual stresses on the machined surfaces due to high temperature generation.On the other hand,milling and tuing processes induce compressive residual stresses.High temperature non-conventional machining generates a network of microcracks on the surfaces in addition to tensile residual stresses to subsequently reduce fatigue strength of machined components.Embedded grits of abrasive water jet machining degrade the fatigue performance of components machined by this method.
