Metal Cutting Principles. This item is unavailable.Metal Cutting Principles

This book identifies the major problem areas of metal cutting during the production of mechanical components. Thoroughly updated with new questions and exercises at the end of each chapter, the book relates observed performance in metal cutting to fundamental physics, materials behavior, and chemistry. In addition, heat transfer, tribology, and solid mechanics are covered in appropriate detail.

"... a very valuable reference for research students engaged in the field of material removal technology and for courses relating to manufacturing engineering at undergraduate level, and is an excellent source of references to published work in the field." -- Journal of Mechanical Working Technology
