IJMMM is a refereed international publication in the field of machining and machinability of materials. Machining science and technology is an important subject with application in several industries. Parts manufactured by other processes often require further operations before the product is ready for application. Machining is the broad term used to describe removal of material from a workpiece, and covers chip formation operations - turning, milling, drilling and grinding, for example. Machining processes can be applied to work metallic and non metallic materials such as polymers, wood, ceramics, composites and special materials. Today, in modern manufacturing engineering, there has been strong renewed interest in high efficiency machining.
Recently, the use of advanced materials has increased in various areas of science and technology due to their special mechanical and physical properties. Advanced materials are characterised by a combination of light weight, very high strength and a high stiffness. Therefore, advanced materials have replaced conventional materials in various fields of application such as aeronautical, aerospace, automotive, biomechanical and mechanical engineering, as well as in other industries. As result of these properties and potential applications, there exits an urgent need to understand questions associated with the machinability of these materials. Objectives
The objectives of the IJMMM are to establish a channel of communication and to disseminate knowledge between academic/research institutions and practical industrial applications. Readership
