Sustainable hard machining : implementation and assessment / Ashok Kumar Sahoo, Ramanuj Kumar, and Amlana Panda.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Sustainable Hard Machining: Implementation and Assessment analyses the various methodologies of cooling and lubrication employed during hard machining operations along with their potential towards sustainable machining. It includes the needs, challenges, and trends towards sustainable hard machining of difficult-to-cut materials through the application of dry, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL), cryogenic and nanofluids assisted MQL towards environmental, economic, ecological, and societal benefits, leading to environmentally cleaner sustainable machining. The book provides introduction to hard machining, sustainability, and environmentally conscious machining, and discusses dry and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) based hard machining. It also includes computational methods and optimization in hard machining, reviews nano-cutting fluids in hard machining, and explores cryogenic cooling in hard machining. It is aimed at graduate students and researchers in Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Materials Science"-- Provided by publisher.
