The sustainability of a process is the objective of modern industries aiming to reduce waste in production, since consumers require high quality and efficiency with fair price. Thus, a good understanding of the process should be its starting point. The manufacture of dental implants is an example in which waste reduction is important for the reduction of prices due to the demand for great quality and accuracy. This study observed the behaviour of sustainable micro-cutting applied to the Ti-6Al-7Nb titanium alloy, considering the ploughing effect on minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and high-speed machining (HSM) conditions. When compared with dry condition and low-speed cutting in orthogonal micro-cutting, the use of HSM in dry cutting was more efficient than using MQL. The dry condition presented lower surface roughness, whilst the cooled/lubricated condition presented lower burr formation.

Este trabalhou objetiva apresentar uma metodologia analítica para o cálculo dos módulos de elasticidade longitudinal (E) e transversal (G) em vigas de madeira de dimensões estruturais, segundo o emprego das teorias de vigas de Euler Bernoulli e Timoshenko, sendo utilizado o ensaio de flexão estática a três pontos. As madeiras testadas foram o Pinus elliottii e a Corymbia citriodora. Os resultados encontrados relevaram ser o módulo de elasticidade longitudinal 18,70 vezes superior ao módulo transversal do Pinus elliottii e 21,2 superior ao módulo transversal do Corymbia citriodora, sendo estes compatíveis quando comparada a relação entre E e G estabelecida pela norma Brasileira ABNT NBR 7190:1997 (Projeto de Estruturas de Madeira), que define ser o módulo de elasticidade longitudinal vinte vezes superior ao transversal.
