2.1 Chip removal machining

Fundamental to mechanical manufacturing, chip removal machining has made great strides with the development of high-performance machining equipment and the introduction of information technology (new tools, machining centers, numerical controls, flexible workshops, etc.). These developments have justified the work carried out to improve the machinability of steels. F. Leroy provides a comprehensive review of knowledge and developments in this field in the article Machining and machinability. Here,...
