Abstract

This chapter describes the analysis of the high-speed mechanical micromilling process. The chapter not only compares computational approaches to the solution of shear plane and tool face temperatures, but also explains why there is a difference in calculating temperatures generated during the micromachining process. The analysis shows that the ...
