Metal cutting is a science and technology of great interest for several important industries
such as automotive aeronautics aerospace moulds and dies biomedicine etc. Metal cutting is
a manufacturing process in which parts are shaped by removal of unwanted material. The interest
for this topic increased over the last twenty years with rapid advances in materials science
automation and control and computers technology. The present volume aims to provide research
developments in metal cutting for modern industry. This volume can be used by students
academics researchers and engineering professionals in mechanical manufacturing and
materials industries. THE SERIES: ADVANCED MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Currently it is possible to
defi ne mechanical engineering as the branch of engineering that involves the application of
principles of physics and engineering for the design manufacturing automation and maintenance
of mechanical systems. Mechanical Engineering is closely related to a number of other
engineering disciplines. This series fosters information exchange and discussion on all aspects
of mechanical engineering with a special emphasis on research and development from a number of
perspectives including (but not limited to) materials and manufacturing processes machining
and machine tools tribology and surface engineering structural mechanics applied and
computational mechanics mechanical design mechatronics and robotics fluid mechanics and heat
transfer renewable energies biomechanics nanoengineering and nanomechanics. In addition the
series covers the full range of sustainability aspects related with mechanical engineering.
Advanced Mechanical Engineering is an essential reference for students academics researchers
materials mechanical and manufacturing engineers and professionals in mechanical engineering.
