Thin-Films for Machining Difficult-to-Cut Materials 1st Edition

Capture the future of precision manufacturing with Thin-Films for Machining Difficult-to-Cut Materials, 1st Edition by Ch Sateesh Kumar and Filipe Daniel Fernandes. This essential guide brings cutting-edge thin-film coating science to engineers, researchers, and toolmakers focused on improving productivity and extending tool life in the most demanding machining environments.

Inside, you’ll find a clear, practical roadmap from fundamentals to application: coating design principles, deposition methods, microstructure–property relationships, tribological behavior, and performance evaluation for hard-to-machine alloys and composites. Rich case studies and comparative analyses demonstrate how tailored thin films reduce wear, lower cutting forces, and enable higher-speed machining for industries such as aerospace, automotive, die & mold, and medical device manufacturing.

Written for both experienced professionals and early-career researchers, this volume balances theory with hands-on guidance—selecting the right coating, optimizing process parameters, and interpreting test results to achieve measurable improvements on the shop floor. The authors’ pragmatic insights make complex materials science accessible and directly applicable to production challenges.

Whether you’re seeking to upgrade tooling strategies, reduce downtime, or accelerate product development, this book delivers the knowledge to transform machining performance across global manufacturing hubs—from the United States and Europe to India and China.
