Abstract
One of the most revolutionary developments in mass production in many years is the introduction of surface broaching as a major metal-cutting process. Its greatest acceptance has come in the automotive industry, supplanting many well-intrenched milling-machine operations.
This paper is concerned with a detailed discussion of surface broaching in the automotive industry, covering the general applications, design of broaches, description of broaching machines, etc. The paper also includes tabular material giving production data such as broach speeds, broach life, productivity.
Wherever possible, attention has been given to general applications of the method so as to be of interest to those concerned with metal cutting in various industries.
