Introduction to Abrasive Machining and Finishing Processes

This course will define the areas of application of traditional as well as non-traditional abrasive finishing processes in the manufacturing industry. The lectures will introduce the basic principles of material removal by use of abrasives particles and material removal mechanism of different abrasive process. The effects of various input parameters on the outputs as well as the use of cutting fluids in various finishing process will be discuss. A variety of numerical problems and MCQs, discussions will also be included.INTENDED AUDIENCE :BE/B.Tech, ME/M.Tech, Ph. D (Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering).
