Kibria G., Bhattacharyya B., Davim J.P. (Eds.) Non-traditional Micromachining Processes: Fundamentals and Applications

Springer International Publishing AG, 2017. — 431 p. — (Materials Forming, Machining and Tribology) — ISBN: 3319520083Since the last decade, the major research challenges and developments around the globe are to manufacture microcomponents with high accurate of microfeatures which have geometrical dimensions even less than tens of microns. It is obvious that the demand of microcomponents is diversely increasing day by day in the field of aviation, automotive, biomedical, optical, electronics, and energy sectors. This wide range of applications of microcomponents brings the necessity to develop promising micromachining technologies which can yield high degree of precision, improved machining rate with accurate geometrical dimensions, reliability, flexibility, and after all environment friendly. Moreover, the developments of material science provide materials which have enormous material properties especially in their machinability and hardness. In this situation, it is the task of manufacturer engineers to develop micromachining processes, both traditional and nontraditional, which can fulfill the demands of microproduct having several microand nanofeatures.Non-traditional Micromachining Processes: Opportunities and Challenges
