Annual Report (13th) of the Machinability Data Center.
Abstract:
Machinability Data Center MDC operations during this reporting period resulted in the successful accomplishment of its contractual goals. Cost recovery income during the period was 72, measured in actual dollars received for services provided. This center is one of a number of Information Analysis Centers sponsored by the Department of Defense. The specific functions of MDC include the collection, evaluation, storage, and dissemination of information pertaining to machining technology with emphasis on machinability data. The objectives of MDCs efforts are to decrease the cost of machining and to increase the productivity and reliability of machined products in behalf of the Department of Defense and other U.S. Government Agencies and their contractors. Because there is a continuing need for the universal application of evaluated machining data, MDC services are also made available to private industry.
