This series fosters information exchange and discussion on all aspects of materials
forming, machining and tribology. This series focuses on materials forming and
machining processes, namely, metal casting, rolling, forging, extrusion, drawing,
sheet metal forming, microforming, hydroforming, thermoforming, incremental
forming, joining, powder metallurgy and ceramics processing, shaping processes
for plastics/composites, traditional machining (turning, drilling, miling, broaching,
etc.), non-traditional machining (EDM, ECM, USM, LAM, etc.), grinding and
others abrasive processes, hard part machining, high speed machining, high
efficiency machining, micro and nanomachining, among others. The formability
and machinability of all materials will be considered, including metals, polymers,
ceramics, composites, biomaterials, nanomaterials, special materials, etc. The series
covers the full range of tribological aspects such as surface integrity, friction and
wear, lubrication and multiscale tribology including biomedical systems and
manufacturing processes. It also covers modelling and optimization techniques
applied in materials forming, machining and tribology. Contributions to this book
series are welcome on all subjects of “green” materials forming, machining and
tribology. To submit a proposal or request further information, please contact
