Description
Suitable for practicing engineers, this book uses the science of tribology to improve understanding and of abrasive machining processes in order to increase performance, productivity and surface quality of final products.
"The breadth of knowledge presented is excellent, providing a wide body of test to reference regarding abrasive processes." --Dr Matthew Marshall, University of Sheffield "I find myself turning to Marinescu’s Tribology when I want fundamental information on the nature of grit-workpiece contact" --Dr Jeffrey Badger, Consultant Engineer
