Written for manufacturing professionals at all levels, this volume focuses on providing a competitive advantage in the use of deburring and edge finishing methods. Covering five basic approaches for achieving cost reduction in deburring, the Handbook presents discussion on cost/quality trade-offs and covers approximately 100 mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, and manual procedures. The author examines newer techniques from emerging industrial countries, current environmental and safety issues, international industrial standards, and guidelines for establishing plant-specific deburring standards.
