Manufacturing Tribology

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 emphasis on provide insights into improving these techniques. All three critical aspects of tribology including friction, wear, and lubrication pertaining to manufacturing technology are illustrated in detail. 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 aspect to show the tribological behavior in manufacturing processes Explains comprehensive knowledge about utilization, control and monitoring the various manufacturing processes from a tribological perspective Incorporates modelling and optimization of manufacturing processes for tribology enhancement of engineered product This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in mechanical engineering, surface engineering, and tribology.
