Ultraprecision Machining and Metrology
關於這本電子書
Ultraprecision machining is a critical enabling technology for producing high-value mechanical, optical, optoelectronic, and biomedical components with complex geometries and extreme precision. This book delivers a structured exploration of ultraprecision machining and metrology, covering essential topics such as system configuration, tooling, machining mechanism modeling, and surface characterization. Dedicated chapters on surface and subsurface metrology, as well as the machinability of both ductile and brittle materials, make it an indispensable resource for understanding machine design, manufacturing processes, and related materials science.
Ideal for students and researchers, this book serves as a vital reference for those working in precision machining, MEMS, advanced manufacturing, and precision metrology.
