Advanced Machining Processes of Metallic Materials

This book brings updated knowledge on the metal cutting processes in relation to theory and industrial practice. In particular, it collects and shares in one single volume the extensive knowledge on the state-of-the-art of machining theory, including numerical simulations, and practice based on high-level technology enterprises from Europe, USA and Japan. Many topics, which reflect recent developments in machining technology, cover such important problems as 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. The content of the book was established based on over twenty years authors tracking the most valuable technical information from technical universities and industrial research centres, and collecting hundreds published books and papers in this and other closely related fields of science. As a result, this compendium can advise how one can achieve satisfactory quality of the broad spectrum of the machine parts of sizes ranging from meters down to imicro/nanometers. As a complete reference it can be dedicated for upper-level undergraduate, graduate, PhD students and researchers in metal cutting area who are working in manufacturing, mechanical and industrial engineering sectors. It is can also be addressed to experienced engineers in these disciplines as a self-study guide.Grzesik, Wit is the author of 'Advanced Machining Processes of Metallic Materials', published 2008 under ISBN 9780080445342 and ISBN 0080445349.
