This revised edition, divided into four parts, features an extensive new chapter on coated cutting tools and updated and expanded chapters on ceramic cutting tools and machinability. A discussion of wear mechanisms and their governing equations is included, as are updates on tool micro examination, use of the quick-stop method, and tool temperature determination. Each chapter begins with a comprehensive bullet point summary and contents. The book will be useful for those studying and teaching courses on metal cutting and machining processes at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels in universities as well as professional materials scientists and mechanical engineers in industrial manufacturing sectors centered on automotive and aerospace component production.
- About The Author
- Edward Moor Trent was born in England and was the first to describe the diffusion wear mechanisms in tungsten-carbide-cobalt cutting tools. This work was the foundation for new grades of carbide for cutting steels, and subsequently for the development of coated cutting tools. Trent was a prominent lecturer in the Industrial Metallurgy Dept. at Birmingham University and was awarded the "Hadfield Medal" by the Iron and Steel Institute in recognition of his contributions to metallurgy. His accomplishments are highly regarded among professionals in the field today. Founding author of this book.
