ASM Handbook, Volume 16 - Machining (Hardcover, 9th edition)

ASM Handbook, Volume 16: Machining is a complete guide to machining technologies, including fundamentals, detailed descriptions of specific machining and grinding processes, guidelines for proper selection of cutting tool materials and cutting fluids, and recommendations for improved machining productivity and efficiency. Twenty-one articles summarize the process capabilities, machines, cutting parameters plus variables, and applications of traditional machining processes such as turning, drilling, and milling. In the non-traditional category, you'll find 18 articles on mechanical, electrical, thermal, and chemical material removal procedures that have been developed. They yield improved workpiece quality and high production efficiency in the machining of hard, tough materials with unusual finishing requirements, as well as complex-shaped parts that require processing well beyond conventional methods. Contense include: Fundamentals of Machining Process, Cutting Tool Materials, Cutting Fluids, Traditional Machining Processes, Grinding/Honing/Lapping, Non-Traditional Machining Processes, High Productivity Machining, Machine Controls and Computer Applications in Machining, Machining of Specific Metals and Alloys.
