The aim of this handbook is to provide a comprehensive summary of integrated machining processes and technology for precision manufacturing of large-size and small-size components. It presents state-of-the-art of precision machining processes such as precision and single point diamond turning; precision milling, grinding and lapping/polishing, control and sensing technology; precision machining of ductile and brittle materials, measurement technology and integration of the machining processes for precision manufacturing. The information provided in the book will be of interest to industrial practitioners and researchers in the field of precision machining processes and technology.
This volume is part of a multi-volume handbook series that covers a comprehensive range of scientific and technological matters in 'Precision Manufacturing', for more information please view this link- https: //www.springer.com/series/15575.
