Advanced Machining Processes Nontraditional and Hybrid Machining Processes

Written by Hassan El-Hofy, Advanced Machining Processes: Nontraditional and Hybrid Machining Processes is a technical book that serves as a comprehensive reference for modern machining techniques. Published by McGraw-Hill, it is intended for use in undergraduate and postgraduate engineering courses, as well as by practicing engineers.
Content and Focus
The book focuses on the principles, applications, and variables of advanced machining processes. It covers a wide range of topics, including:
• Nontraditional processes that use electrical, chemical, or thermal energy to remove material instead of traditional cutting tools.
• Hybrid processes that combine two or more machining methods to achieve superior results.
• The components of machining systems for each process.
• The industrial applications of these processes, which are particularly relevant for machining difficult materials like superalloys, ceramics, and composites.
El-Hofy’s writing style is described as rigorous yet easy to understand, making complex topics accessible to students and professionals alike. The book includes diagrams and clear explanations to help readers grasp the concepts.
