Modern Machining Processes

The book aims to meet the curriculum requirements of the Undergraduate (B.Tech./B_E) Post graduate (WE./ M_Tech) and Doctoral programs in Mechanical Production Manufacturing and such related fields in Engineering colleges and Universities. The book would also be helpful for Research Organizations Machinists and Production Engineers at the shop floor. It comprises of eleven chapters which describe the fundamental theory processes ongoing research and variant processes in modern machining_ The topics include: Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) Wire-EDM (WEDM) Laser Beam Machining (LBM) Electro-Chemical Machining (ECM) Electro-Chemical Discharge Machining (ECDM) Ultrasonic Machining (USM) Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) Abrasive Water Jet Machining (AWJM) Hybrid Micro-Machining (HMM) Electron Beam Machining (EBM) Plasma Beam Machining (PBM) Ion Beam Machining (IBM) Microwave Processing and Machining of Composite Materials_ Although modern machining process has been included as theory course in universities and engineering colleges yet very few books exist that describe the latest and ongoing researches being performed in the diversified areas of machining advanced materials. The authors and editor have compiled the best available information along-with references after each chapter. <b>Contents</b> 1. Variants Of Electrical Discharge Machining 2.
