materials forming and machining: research and development publishes refereed, high quality articles with a special emphasis on research and development in forming materials, machining, and its applications. a large family of manufacturing processes are now involved in material formation, with plastic deformation and other techniques commonly used to change the shape of a workpiece. materials forming techniques discussed in the book include extrusion, forging, rolling, drawing, sheet metal forming, microforming, hydroforming, thermoforming, and incremental forming, among others. in addition, traditional machining, non-traditional machining, abrasive machining, hard part machining, high speed machining, high efficiency machining, and micromachining are also explored, proving that forming technologies and machining can be applied to a wide variety of materials.presents the family of manufacturing processes involved in material formationincludes traditional and non-traditional machining methodsconsists of high-quality refereed articles by researchers from leading institutionsplaces special emphasis on research and development in forming materials and machining and its applications
