Fundamentals of Machining Processes (4th Edition)

Fundamentals of Machining Processes: Conventional and Nonconventional Processes, Fourth Edition introduces the concept of machinability and provides general guidelines for selecting a machining process. It covers the fundamentals of machining through erosion and hybrid processes, explaining the mechanisms that cause material removal, machining systems, and applications of each process. Additionally, this new edition includes a new chapter on thermal‑assisted (hot) machining techniques and a new chapter on processes used in micro and nanofabrication technologies. PowerPoint slides and a solutions manual are available for qualified textbook adoption.
