Advanced Analysis of Nontraditional Machining [Paperback]

Nontraditional machining utilizes thermal, chemical, electrical, mechanical and optimal sources of energy to bind, form and cut materials. Advanced Analysis of Nontraditional Machining explains in-depth how each of these advanced machining processes work, their machining system components, and process variables and industrial applications, thereby offering advanced knowledge and scientific insight. This book also documents the latest and frequently cited research results of a few key nonconventional machining processes for the most concerned topics in industrial applications, such as laser machining, electrical discharge machining, electropolishing of die and mold, and wafer processing for integrated circuit manufacturing.

This book reviews advanced machining processes for binding, forming and cutting materials, including thermal, chemical, electrical and mechanical methods. The text explores the details of each approach, describing their components and industrial applications.
