EDM by
Electrical Discharge Machining is the EDM fundamentals sourcebook, indispensable to students and apprentices. Non-engineers on the shop floor team will appreciate its lucid process descriptions that will help them communicate better about EDM. Even seasoned EDM veterans like Greg Whiteside, Applications Manager, at Charmilles Technologies, say they have learned something from it. This 328-page book covers the rudimentary knowledge knowledge behind the spark, how the spark is controlled, what causes overcut, and the importance of the dielectric fluid. With regard to the workpiece, it clearly explains the basic elements behind the affect the spark has on metallurgy and how the surface finish is produced and controlled. Electrical Discharge Machining addresses a host of other EDM topics, including the historical development of EDM, basics of the EDM machining system and process, the power supply (generator), spark voltage, electrode servo systems, and more.
Environmentally Friendly Machining by
Environment-Friendly Machining provides an in-depth overview of environmentally-friendly machining processes, covering numerous different types of machining in order to identify which practice is the most environmentally sustainable. The book discusses three systems at length: machining with minimal cutting fluid, air-cooled machining and dry machining. Also covered is a way to conserve energy during machining processes, along with useful data and detailed descriptions for developing and utilizing the most efficient modern machining tools. Researchers and engineers looking for sustainable machining solutions will find Environment-Friendly Machining to be a useful volume.
Applied Machining Technology by
Machining and cutting technologies are still crucial for many manufacturing processes. This reference presents all important machining processes in a comprehensive and coherent way. It provides the practising engineer with many technical information of the manufacturing processes and collects essential aspects such as maximum obtainable precision, errors or reference values. Many examples of concrete calculations, problems and their solutions illustrate the material and support the learning reader. The internet addresses given in the appendix provide with a fast link to more information sources.
