Machinability of Advanced Materials

Machinability of Advanced Materials addresses the level ofdifficulty involved in machining a material, or multiple materials, with the appropriate tooling and cutting parameters. Avariety of factors determine a material's machinability, including tool life rate, cutting forces and power consumption, surface integrity, limiting rate of metal removal, and chip shape. These topics, among others, and multiple examples comprise thisresearch resource for engineering students, academics, andpractitioners.
