Fourteenth Report of the Machinability Data Center.
Abstract
This is the final report for the operation of the Machinability Data Center by Metcut Research Associates Inc. under government sponsorship. It is the culmination of a highly successful operation wherein all of the established goals have been achieved or exceeded. Cost savings through MDC's operation have been conservatively estimated to be over $220 million from services provided since the Center began operation in 1964. Work was completed on the third edition of the Machining Data Handbook. This third editions is a greatly expanded and technically improved publication designed to meet the information demands of the manufacturing industry. The machining data are presented in both English and metric units to satisfy current U.S. needs. Handbook coverage is expanded from 1,100 to 1,500 materials and from 55 to 89 machining operations, including over 83,000 specific machining recommendations. New or expanded sections cover the nontraditional machining processes, machine chatter and vibration, surface finish and surface integrity, computer aided design and manufacturing, and grinding techniques. This new edition is expected to make a significant contribution toward reducing costs, increasing productivity, and increasing the service reliability of machined components.
