Machining remains one of the most important manufacturing processes in the metalworking industry. Studies on this process have investigated the machinability of different materials, the behaviour of tools, chip formation, surface integrity, forces involved, and its economic and environmental sustainability. New materials are constantly being developed, and machining research needs to closely follow these developments. This book examines recent research in the machining field, covering several aspects and presenting very interesting developments in this area of knowledge.

Technology: general issues --- magnesium alloy --- UNS M11917 --- AZ91D --- hole repair --- surface roughness --- dry drilling --- re-drilling --- thin plates --- thin-wall --- machining --- aluminium --- cutting forces --- roughness --- dry --- carbide tool --- Haynes 282 --- finishing turning --- UNS A97075 --- dry turning --- surface integrity --- straightness --- parallelism --- roundness --- concentricity --- circular run-out --- total run-out --- cylindricity --- tool edge preparation --- segmented chip --- machining simulation --- burr --- optimization --- turning process --- turning tools --- solid tools --- cemented carbide --- coated tools --- coated cemented carbide --- Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) --- Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) --- multilayered coatings --- nanolayered coatings --- wear mechanism --- tool life --- minimum quantity Lubricant (MQL) --- cutting energy --- tool damage --- liquid nitrogen --- carbon dioxide snow --- vibrations --- part quality --- flexible vacuum fixture --- AA2024 floor milling --- chip segmentation --- damage modeling --- dynamic strain aging --- stainless steel --- Ca treatment --- machinability --- turning --- chip breakability --- weight distribution --- non-metallic inclusions --- AWJM (abrasive water jet machining) --- CFRTP (carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics) --- hybrid structure --- surface quality --- Ra --- Rz --- C/TPU (carbon/thermoplastic polyurethane) --- milling --- tool coating --- TiAlN --- TiAlN-based coatings --- multilayer --- nanolayer --- wear mechanisms --- n/a

Micro electrical discharge machining (micro-EDM) is a thermo-electric and contactless process most suited for micro-manufacturing and high-precision machining, especially when difficult-to-cut materials, such as super alloys, composites, and electro conductive ceramics, are processed. Many industrial domains exploit this technology to fabricate highly demanding components, such as high-aspect-ratio micro holes for fuel injectors, high-precision molds, and biomedical parts.Moreover, the continuous trend towards miniaturization and high precision functional components boosted the development of control strategies and optimization methodologies specifically suited to address the challenges in micro- and nano-scale fabrication.This Special Issue showcases 12 research papers and a review article focusing on novel methodological developments on several aspects of micro electrical discharge machining: machinability studies of hard materials (TiNi shape memory alloys, Si3N4–TiN ceramic composite, ZrB2-based ceramics reinforced with SiC fibers and whiskers, tungsten-cemented carbide, Ti-6Al-4V alloy, duplex stainless steel, and cubic boron nitride), process optimization adopting different dielectrics or electrodes, characterization of mechanical performance of processed surface, process analysis, and optimization via discharge pulse-type discrimination, hybrid processes, fabrication of molds for inflatable soft microactuators, and implementation of low-cost desktop micro-EDM system.
