Manufacturing is the basic industrial activity generating real value. Cutting and abrasive technologies are the backbone of precision production in machine, automotive and aircraft building as well as of production of consumer goods. We present the knowledge of modern manufacturing in these technologies on the basis of scientific research. The theory of cutting and abrasive processes and the knowledge about their application in industrial practice are a prerequisite for the studies of manufacturing science and an important part of the curriculum of the master study in German mechanical engineering. The basis of this book is our lecture "Basics of cutting and abrasive processes" (4 semester hours/3 credit hours) at the Leibniz University Hannover, which we offer to the diploma and master students specializing in manufacturing science.

In dem Band werden die physikalischen Grundlagen des Spanens unter Berucksichtigung neuester Forschungserkenntnisse dargestellt. Damit verknupft stellen die Autoren wichtige Anwendungen wie z. B. Hochgeschwindigkeits- und Hochleistungsspanen vor. Sie vermitteln in dem Band die Anforderungen, denen moderne Werkzeuge und Werkzeugmaschinen sowie innovative Planungen spanender Prozesse genugen mussen. Die Moeglichkeiten der Modellierung und Simulation werden in der 3. Auflage in einem neuen Kapitel erlautert. Mit Beispielaufgaben und Loesungen.
