Peace be upon you all,

Is there a book or handbook which describes the machining characteristics of various engineering materials. For example where I could find data similar to following:

  • Material Name: Aluminum
  • Hardness Range: X-Y
  • Force/ Power Required to machine: A hp

etc. It is apparent that such data is hard to come by in combined form but still I am hoping for some guidance in this regard.

Regards

There are a few handbooks which might cover your needs:

  • Handbook of Machining and Metalworking Calculations by Ronald A.Walsh,ISBN: 9780071360661 Publication Date & Copyright: 2001 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
  • Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, is another more generic but could cover a lot of your questions
  • Machinery's Handbook

you can also find a few freely available, eg. Garant's machining handbook
