Description
New Age International (P) Ltd., Publishers Introduction To Machining Science by Dr. G.K. Lal
This book is an attempt to consolidate the basic scientific studies in the machining area so that fundamental mechanics and other concepts related to primary machining processes could be understood. The book is essentially designed for senior undergraduate mechanical and production engineering students but practicing engineers will also find it useful for tool and product design. The topics covered include plastic deformation, chip formation, tool geometry, mechanics of orthogonal and oblique cutting, measurement of cutting force, cutting temperature, tool wear and tool life, economics of machining, grinding of metals and machining vibrations. The analyses presented have been illustrated through numerical examples. Review questions and bibliography are also included.
