Showing changes in machining practice, this book emphasizes the economics of machining processes and design for machining. It includes material on super-hard cutting tool materials, tool geometries, and surface coatings. It describes the developments in high-speed machining, hard machining, and cutting fluid applications.
Reflecting changes in machining practice, Fundamentals of Machining and Machine Tools, Third Edition emphasizes the economics of machining processes and design for machining. This edition includes new material on super-hard cutting tool materials, tool geometries, and surface coatings. It describes recent developments in high-speed machining, hard machining, and cutting fluid applications such as dry and minimum-quantity lubrication machining. It presents analytical methods that outline the limitations of various approaches. This edition also features expanded information on tool geometries for chip breaking and control as well as improvements in cost modeling of machining processes.
