About the book:

Completely revised and updated this second edition of Fundamentals of Machining Processes: Conventional and Nonconventional Processes covers the fundamentals machining by cutting, abrasion, erosion, and combined processes. The new edition has been expanded with two additional chapters covering the concept of machinability and the roadmap for selecting machining processes that meet required design specification.

See What’s New in the Second Edition:

· Explanation of the definition of the relative machinability index and how the machinability is judged

· Important factors affecting the machinability ratings

· Machinability ratings of common engineering materials by conventional and nonconventional methods.

· Factors to be considered when selecting a machining process that meets the design specifications, including part features, materials, product accuracy, surface texture, surface integrity, cost, environmental impacts, and the process and the machine selected capabilities

· Introduction to new Magnetic Field Assisted Finishing Processes

Written by an expert with 37 years of experience in research and teaching machining and related topics, this covers machining processes that range from basic conventional metal cutting, abrasive machining to the most advanced nonconventional and micromachining processes. The author presents the principles and theories of material removal and applications for conventional and nonconventional machining processes, discusses the role of machining variables in the technological characteristics of each process, and provides treatment of current technologies in high speed machining and micromachining.

The treatment of the different subjects has been developed from basic principles and does not require the knowledge of advanced mathematics as a prerequisite. A fundamental textbook for undergraduate students, this book contains machining data, solved examples, and review questions which are useful for students and manufacturing engineers.

About the Author:

Professor Hassan Abdel-Gawad EI-Hofy received his BSc in production engineering from Alexandria University (Egypt) in 1976 and served as a teaching assistant in the same department. He then received his MSc in production engineering from Alexandria University in 1979. Professor EI-Hofy has had a successful career in education, training, and research. Following his MSc, he worked as an assistant lecturer until October 1980 when he left for Aberdeen University in Scotland and began his PhD work with Professor J. McGeough in hybrid machining processes. He won the Overseas Research Student (ORS) Award during the course of his doctoral degree, which he duly completed in 1985. He then returned to Alexandria University and resumed work as an assistant professor. In 1990, he was promoted to an associate professor. He was on sabbatical as a visiting professor at Al-Fateh University in Tripoli between 1989 and 1994.

In July 1994, Professor El-Hofy returned to Alexandria University, and in November 1997 he was promoted to a full professor. In September 2000, he was selected to work as a professor in the University of Qatar. He chaired the accreditation committee for mechanical engineering program toward ABET Substantial Equivalency Recognition that has been granted to the College of Engineering programs in 2005. He received the Qatar University Award and a certificate of appreciation for his role in that event.

Professor El-Hofy wrote his first book entitled Advanced Machining Processes: Nontraditional and Hybrid Processes, which was published by McGraw Hill Co in 2005. His second book entitled Fundamentals of Machining Processes—Conventional and Nonconventional processes appeared in September 2007 and was published by Taylor & Francis Group, CRC Press. He also coauthored a book entitled Machining Technology—Machine Tools and operations, which was published by Taylor & Francis Group, CRC Press in 2008. In 2011, he released his fourth book entitled Manufacturing Techonologhy—Materials, Processes, and Equipment, which again was published by Taylor & Francis Group, CRC Press. Professor El-Hofy has published over 50 scientific and technical papers and has supervised many graduate students in the area of machining by nontraditional methods. He serves as a consulting editor to many international journals and is a regular participant in international conferences.

Between August 2007 and August 2010, professor El-Hofy was the chairman of the Department of Production Engineering, College of Engineering, Alexandria University, where he taught several machining and related technology courses. In October 2011, he was nominated as the vice dean for education and student’s affairs at the College of Engineering, Alexandria University. In December 2012, he became the dean of the School of Innovative Design Engineering at Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST) in Alexandria, Egypt.
