Student experience

the class

Advanced topics of mechanical machining process with theory and its applications, material behavior during machining process, 5-axis machining, micro-machining, and difficult-to-cut materials. Ductile to brittle transition of crystalline materials such as metals and ceramics, subsurface damage, and residual stress using theoretical development, empirical observation, and molecular dynamics. Knowledge of metal cutting [such asM E 429], materials science [such asM S & E 350], and manufacturing processes [such asM E 311] required.
