Parts manufactured by other processes often require further operations before the product is ready for application. Machining operations can be applied to work metallic and non-metallic materials such as polymers, wood, ceramics, composites and exotic materials. M. E. Merchant has written “Today in industrialized countries, the cost of machining amounts to more than 15% of the value of all manufactured products in those countries.” For this reason and others, machining as part of manufacturing science and technology is very important for modern manufacturing industries. This book aims to provide the fundamentals and the recent advances in machining for modern manufacturing engineering. The first three chapters of the book provide the fundamentals of machining with special emphasis on three important aspects: metal cutting mechanics (finite element modelling), tools (geometry and material) and workpiece surface integrity. The remaining chapters of the book are dedicated to recent advances in machining, namely, machining of hard material, machining of particulate-reinforced metal matrix composites, drilling polymeric matrix composites, ecological machining (near-dry machining), sculptured surface machining, grinding
