Advances in Composite and Advanced Materials Machining

This book presents cutting edge research in effective machining methods for composite materials, including metals, fibre-reinforced polymers and alloys. This book presents cutting-edge research in effective machining methods for composite materials, including metals, fiber-reinforced polymers, and alloys. By explaining how to effectively enhance machine life and optimize materials and time costs, Advances in Composite and Advanced Materials Machining enables readers to create the best possible end product. Focusing on common modern materials including novel composites, polymers, lightweight alloys, and advanced materials, the book also provides a step-by-step guide to effective machining of hard-to-cut material. It also covers trimming, milling, drilling, and other modern machining processes on fiber-reinforced polymer composites. Recent advances in drilling polymeric matrix composites, ecological machining, grinding technology, nano-machining, and intelligent machining are all covered. This book will be of interest to professionals in aerospace and automotive engineering as well as unconventional machining, advanced manufacturing processes, and nanomachining.
