Abstract

This chapter covers the topics of metrology, tolerancing, quality control and experimental design before discussing the different ways machining changes the shape of a part in other chapters. Tolerances on dimensions and surface finish are used for comparing different processes, and when the tolerances or surface finish specified are small, this usually leads a process planner to choose machining or grinding processes. Metrology, the science of measurement, plays an important role in checking if specifications are met, and is needed to develop experimental data for analyzing a process. The most efficient use of experimental data occurs not by chance, but when experiments are designed and planned.
