Sustainable Machining Using MQL Application of Cutting Fluids
Nageswara Rao Posinasetti, Vamsi Krishna Pasam, Rukmini Srikant Revuru, and Basil Kuriachen
The application of metal cutting fluids is an integral part of industrial machining operations. Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is the latest form of cutting fluid application method currently used by several manufacturing organizations. This book consolidates all the available knowledge in terms of the application of different processes as well as materials in a concise fashion in one reference resource.
Sustainable Machining Using MQL Application of Cutting Fluids offers a detailed discussion of the MQL mechanism in cutting fluid applications. It highlights the influence of MQL parameters on different workpiece materials and provides sound explanations along with photographs for all technical reasonings. The book presents the usage of both micro and nano cutting fluids in machining for sustainability while it also captures the knowledge in the field including the recent research outputs, as it illustrates a comprehensive coverage of MQL practical application.
This book should be on the bookshelf of industrial engineers, those working in production and manufacturing, process designers, tool material designers, cutting tool designers, and quality specialists. Researchers, senior undergraduate students, and graduate students will also find this book full of very helpful reference information. -- Provided by the publisher

Industrial Education in Scandinavia
Ronald Bro
The Problem An investigation of curricular programs in industrial education in the public school and teacher education institutions of the Scandinavian countries. The emphasis was on contemporary curricula, program purposes, characteristics, and facilities.
Purpose of the Study Early forms of industrial education in the Scandinavian countries were influential in the origin and development of industrial education in the United States. Available literature contained little information about current systems of industrial education in Scandinavia. The purpose of this study, therefore was to go to the Scandinavian countries to (1) investigate the industrial education programs on various educational levels, (2) ascertain the nature (purposes, characteristics, and methodologies) of contemporary programs and (3) to identify current trends.
Significance of the Study Departments of Industrial teacher education in the United States usually offer at least one course involving the history of industrial education. This researcher is responsible for teaching such a course. The European antecedents are essential components of the history. Professional literature in this field, however reveals little about their growth and development in the last century. Industrial technology and the standards of living in Northern European countries have risen to high levels in recent years. In view of these advances it would seem timely that an investigation of their industrial education systems be conducted. The findings of this study should be of value to industrial teacher educators and could have significant implications for future program development.
