Machining Tribology

Machining and Tribology Book Summary

Machining and Tribology provides insight into both the role of tribology in machining and the effects of various machining processes on tribology, exploring topics such as machining mechanisms, coolant technology, tool wear, and more. Covering the latest research, the book starts by looking at the tribological aspects of turning, milling, and drilling processes. From there, it explores the effects of different coolants such as flood, minimum quantity lubrication, and cryogenics on machining forces, tool wear, friction, chip formation, and surface generation during various machining processes. Tribological considerations of machined components follow, and the volume concludes with chapters covering simulation scenarios for predicting machining forces, tool wear, surface generation, and chip formation. Draws upon the science of tribology to better understand, predict, and improve machining processes Covers tribology in different types of machining such as turning, milling, grinding, abrasive jet machining, and others Explores the underlying mechanisms of coolant contributions on machining processes Applies simulation techniques to explore the mechanism of nano-machining
