The latest edition of this textbook continues to bring you the essential principles of machining through cutting, abrasion, erosion, and combined processes. This updated edition has been enhanced and expanded to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.

Fundamentals of Machining Processes: Conventional and Nonconventional Processes, Fourth Edition introduces the concept of machinability and provides general guidelines for selecting a machining process. It covers the fundamentals of machining through erosion and hybrid processes, explaining the mechanisms that cause material removal, machining systems, and applications of each process. Additionally, this new edition includes a new chapter on thermal-assisted (hot) machining techniques and a new chapter on processes used in micro and nanofabrication technologies. PowerPoint slides and a solutions manual are available for qualified textbook adoption.

This is a very important and needed textbook for undergraduate students in a variety of engineering programs, including production, materials technology, industrial, manufacturing, mechatronics, marine, and mechanical engineering. Graduate students specializing in topics relevant to advanced machining will also find this book to be a valuable resource. In addition, professional engineers and technicians working in production technology can benefit greatly from the information provided in this edition.
