The first paperbound edition of a previously acclaimed title, this practical volume provides needed guidance on one of the most important methods of removing unwanted material in the production of chemical components. It identifies problem areas and relates performance to fundamentals of physics, chemistry, materials behavior, heat transfer, solid mechanics, and tribology, illustrating how solutions to new machining problems may be achieved by application of scientific principle. The two-dimensional cutting process is analyzed, with special attention paid to cutting temperatures, tool wear and tool life, as well as the integrity of the finished surface. Machining economics and the optimization of processes are explained in fundamental terms, while the complexities of the cutting process are closely scrutinized.

About the Author:

Milton C. Shaw is Professor Emeritus of Engineering at Arizona State Univrsity, Tempe.

Review:

"The value of this book lies in its completeness in treating the major problem areas in metal cutting (but not including grinding) and linking them with the fundamentals of physics, chemistry, materials behavior and the engineering sciences in the light of the author's experience in over thirty-five years of close involvement with research and teaching." --Tribology International

"A welcome addition to the technical literature because it covers in depth a wide range of topics on metal cutting. . . a very good text." --Applied Mechanics Review

"The book can serve as a very valuable reference for research students engaged in the field of material removal technology and for courses relating to manufacturing engineering at undergraduate level." --Journal of Mechanical Working Technology

"Shaw's book incorporates the findings of the last half-century on the mechanics of the basic chip machining processes. It is a "must" for all those, practitioners as well as researchers, wishing to get beyond a surface understanding of what is going on in the process of metal-cutting. It is perhaps the standard textbook on metal-cutting." --American Machinist
