In the more than 15 years since the second edition of Fundamentals of Machining and Machine Tools was published, the industry has seen many changes. Students must keep up with developments in analytical modeling of machining processes, modern cutting tool materials, and how these changes affect the economics of machining. With coverage reflecting state-of-the-art industry practice, Fundamentals of Machining and Machine Tools, Third Edition emphasizes underlying concepts, analytical methods, and economic considerations, requiring only basic mathematics and physics. This book thoroughly illustrates the causes of various phenomena and their effects on machining practice. The authors include sev...
As a comprehensive and easy-to-use hands-on source. Basic Machining Reference Handbook is intended to serve as a memory jog for the experienced, as well as a reference for programmers and others who will not do the machining but do need to know exactly what's involved in performing a given machining step, a series of steps, or a complete job. The new second edition features expanded chapters on numerical control and computerized operations, additional speeds and feeds tables, general troubleshooting concepts, and a basic review of relevant computer terms and applications. Logically organized, this time-tested reference starts with those machining steps that most often begin the machining process and moves through the basic machining operations. It is a must-have resource for experienced machinists; programmers; tooling, design and production engineers; and students. Table of Contents Measurement Standards, Cut-Off, Turning and the Lathe; Definition and History, The Milling Machine. Sensitive, Gear-Head, and Radial Drill Presses, Grinding, Steels, Alloys, and Other Materials, Numerical Control and CNC. Cost Per Cut in the Computer Age. Index.
Presenting modern advances in the machining of ceramics and composites, this work offers broadly based, fundamental information for selecting the appropriate machining processes and parameters, developing successful manufacturing strategies, and designing novel machining systems. It focuses on scientific and engineering developments affecting the present and future of machining processes.
"In writing this book, the author focused on EDM fundamentals. These are the items common to all EDM machines, such as the spark, how the spark is controlled, what causes overcut, and the importance of the dielectric fluid. With regard to the workplace, covered are the affect the spark has on the metallurgy and how the surface finish is produced and controlled. The book also describes the development of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), the EDM system and process, the EDM sparking systems, the power supply (generator), spark voltage, electrode servo systems, di-electric systems, ionization and electrode wear, chips, the EDM surface, DC arcing, different kinds of EDM, autormatic servo systems operation, and electromagnetic radiation. It is the author's intent that this text will serve as the primer on the EDM process, allowing the people using EDM to become more efficient and the machines more productive."--Back cover.
Machining remains a hugely important process in modern engineering and manufacturing practice, and students need to be aware of the vast host of methods and technologies available to meet all sorts of precision and surface finish requirements. Fundamentals of Machining Processes: Conventional and Nonconventional Processes is the first textbook to collect all of the major methods into a single reference, from cutting and abrasive processes to erosion, hybrid, and micromachining processes. A Solid Foundation The text begins with an introduction to the various machining processes, followed by detailed discussions of cutting tool materials and geometry, mechanics of orthogonal cutting, the vario...

Hard machining is a relatively recent technology that can be defined as a machining operation, using tools with geometrically defined cutting edges, of a work piece that has hardness values typically in the 45-70HRc range. This operation always presents the challenge of selecting a cutting tool insert that facilitates high-precision machining of the component, but it presents several advantages when compared with the traditional methodology based in finish grinding operations after heat treatment of work pieces. Machining of Hard Materials aims to provide the reader with the fundamentals and recent advances in the field of hard machining of materials. All the chapters are written by internat...
Provides production and mechanical engineers with the techniques of machining that have been developed to deal with new materials such as polymers, hard metals and ceramics, difficult to treat by conventional methods because of either hardness of components or the high accuracies of machining required.

"This book explains 5-axis machining in simple terms most people in the field will appreciate and quickly understand. The colorful graphics are nothing short of amazing and generously sprinkled throughout the book with incredible detail. Dozens of machining applications are illustrated and explained while taking much of the fear out of driving these complex machine tools. Anyone associated with 5-axis machine tools has much to gain by reading this book." Mark Summers, President CNC Software Inc. ..". this great book will allow operators, NC programmers and anybody interested in multiaxis machining to learn and understand the reality of 5-axis machining. The crystal clear wording and perfect ...
