The Handbook of Manufacturing Technology is the 2nd, completely revised edition of the multi-volume work published by Carl Hanser Verlag between 1979 and 1994. It remains an unmatched reference work in terms of its breadth and depth of topics for manufacturing engineers and designers. This new edition continues that tradition. The volume on Machining provides a comprehensive overview of the machining processes used in the metalworking industry. Additionally, it covers the processes of material removal as well as special methods for machining fiber-reinforced plastics, non-ferrous alloys, and ceramic materials, as well as micro-manufacturing. Each chapter includes information on process fundamentals, tools, machines, and practical machining technologies. Over 100 authors contributed to the handbook.
