In the late 1950s, hardware became available that allowed the machining of 3D shapes out of blocks of wood or steel.1 These shapes could then be used as stamps and dies for products such as the hood of a car. The bottleneck in this production method
1. Scope* 1.1 This specification covers hot-finished or cold-finished bars, except bars for forging (Note 1), suitable for machining processes. It includes rounds, squares, and hexagons in the more commonly used types of stainless free-machining ste
Solid Mechanics is a collection of physical laws, mathematical techniques, and computer algorithms that can be used to predict the behavior of a solid material that is subjected to mechanical or thermal loading. The field has a wide range of applica
An automatic grinding system with grinding force control on a CNC machining center is developed to reduce surface roughness. This system includes an electric hand grinder mounted on a CNC machining center, a force sensor to measure the normal grindi
Laser assisted machining (LAM) takes the advantages of local heating and softening of workpiece by laser beam in front of the cutting tool. The local softening of workpiece at the shear zone enables much easier plastic deformation during machining. T
