Description

With an aim to present fundamental and advanced level information on manufacturing tribology, this book extensively covers tribological aspects of various manufacturing processes ranging from machining to additive manufacturing. It explores the potential of advanced manufacturing processes in developing tribologically competent surfaces and has an emphasis on providing insights into improving these techniques. All three critical aspects of tribology, including friction, wear, and lubrication pertaining to manufacturing technology, are illustrated in detail as follows:

Aims to cover all the manufacturing areas and their tribological aspects
Sheds light on tribological significance of various manufacturing and post-processing techniques for a range of materials
Discusses numerical and simulation aspects to show the tribological behavior in manufacturing processes
Provides comprehensive knowledge about the utilization, control, and monitoring of the various manufacturing processes from a tribological perspective
Incorporates modeling and optimization of manufacturing processes for tribology enhancement of engineered products.

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in mechanical engineering, surface engineering, and tribology.
