This is a source that the publisher promotes as a single-source volume communicating the state-of-the-art in the machining of ceramics and composites. Here you can find the information for selecting a machining processes among established practices, for developing manufacturing strategies, or for designing custom machining systems. Written by authors who are well known experts in emerging technologies for machining of advanced materials, the work describes traditional methods, such as grinding (including high-speed and ductile-regime grinding), lapping and polishing, turning, and milling. They also describe new and nontraditional machining techniques including water jet machining, ultrasonic machining, rotary ultrasonic machining, and laser-assisted turning. Chapters discuss methods to achieve high material removal rates without material degradation, as well as methods for evaluation of machining-related damage. As a scholarly work, the book includes over 1,400 references as well as tables, equations, drawings, and photographs. The book is a valuable resource for materials, manufacturing, mechanical, industrial, production, and design engineers; machining technologists; ceramists; tribologists; and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education students. The work is broader in coverage than the Handbook of Ceramic Grinding and Polishing, covering a wider range of materials and processes with several sections written by the same international experts. ---Ted Giese
