Fundamentals of Machining Processes: Conventional and Nonconventional Processes

Fundamentals of Machining Processes is the first book to collect all of the major conventional and nonconventional machining methods into a single reference, from cutting and abrasive processes to erosion, hybrid, and micromachining processes. It begins with an introduction to the various machining processes, followed by the mechanics and economics of cutting, abrasive, erosion, and micromachining processes. The author discusses the advantages, limitations, and applications for each process along with the factors influencing its economics. Extensive worked examples, illustrations, and exercises reinforce a practical understanding of the concepts presented throughout the book.
