Course Description : About this Course : This free online course on Diploma in Mechanics of Machining aims at explaining the physics of the cutting process. Machining is a metal removal process, which can be accomplished by applying force on raw material by means of a cutting tool. It can also be seen as a manufacturing term encompassing a broad range of technologies and techniques. LEARNING OUTCOMES : Define machining and subtractive manufacturing process Identify the type of manufacturing processes Describe the mechanics of chip formation Explain why strains and stresses are important in machining operation Discuss the mechanics of oblique cutting and how to visualize it
