Description
This book updates our knowledge on the metal cutting processes in relation to theory and industrial practice. In particular, many topics
reflect recent developments, e.g. modern tool materials, computational machining, computer simulation of various process phenomena, chip
control, monitoring of the cutting state, progressive and hybrid machining operations, and generation and modelling of surface integrity.
This book addresses the present state and future development of machining technologies. It provides a comprehensive description of metal
cutting theory, experimental and modelling techniques along with basic machining processes and their effective use in a wide range of
manufacturing applications. Topics covered include fundamental physical phenomena and methods for their evaluation, available technology
of machining processes for specific classes of materials and surface integrity. The book also provides strategies for optimalization
techniques and assessment of machinability. Moreover, it describes topics not currently covered in other sources, such as high performance
and multitasking (complete) machining with a high potential for increasing productivity, and virtual and e-machining.
The research
covered here has contributed to a more generalized vision of machining technology, including not only traditional manufacturing tasks
but also new potential (emerging) applications such as micro- and nanotechnology.
Audience:
This book is suitable for upper-level undergraduate, and postgraduate students, for researchers in the metal cutting area and engineers
in the manufacturing, mechanical and industrial engineering sectors. Experienced engineers will find it valuable as a self-study guide.
