Thin-Films for Machining Difficult-to-Cut Materials : Challenges, Applications, and Future Prospects

Omtale

This book presents a balanced blend of fundamental research such as principles and characteristics of machining of difficult-to-cut materials and coating techniques and in-depth practical information on coatings techniques and classifications, the effect of coating parameters on machining responses, and finite element analysis of the machining performance of coated tools. In addition to the benefits of the thin-film deposition on the cutting tools, the limitations of the coating deposition techniques and the coating properties are also discussed.Features:Associates the application of coating technology for improving machining characteristics of difficult-to-cut materialsElaborates effect of coating architecture on the output machining parametersExplores the performance of coated cutting toolsDiscusses advanced coating systems and their applicationIncludes industrial case studies and practical implementations where coatings were applied for the machining of difficult-to-cut materialsThis book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in thin-films, coatings, machining, materials engineering, and manufacturing.
