Sustainable Hard Machining

Sustainable Hard Machining: Implementation and Assessment analyses the various methodologies of cooling and lubrication employed during hard machining operations along with their potential towards sustainable machining. It includes the needs, challenges, and trends towards sustainable hard machining of difficult-to-cut materials through the application of dry, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL), cryogenic and nanofluids assisted MQL towards environmental, economic, ecological, and societal benefits, leading to environmentally cleaner sustainable machining.
Features:
Provides introduction to hard machining, sustainability, and environmentally conscious machining Discusses dry and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) based hard machining Includes computational methods and optimization in hard machining Reviews nano-cutting fluids in hard machining Explores cryogenic cooling in hard machining This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Materials Science.
