Product Description

Review

"I like your book for a survey of manufacturing processes. Most other books go into such detail that it could take two, three, or four courses to fully cover the material. It is difficult to use a book of that depth as an introduction to manufacturing; your book will do the job." — Thomas J. Beck, Texas A&M University

"The text's strengths are excellent illustrations, breadth of topics, and easy-to-understand treatment." — Ramamurthy Prabhakaran, Old Dominion University

--This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Book Description

This text introduces the current state-of-the-art technology in materials and manufacturing processes with an emphasis on the rapidly growing technologies in the plastics and aerospace industries. It takes a unique approach by presenting specific materials and manufacturing processes, then progressing into a discussion of the ways in which these materials and processes are integrated into today's functioning manufacturing industry.

Features and Benefits

Organized into four parts- Part I presents materials and their applications; Part II emphasizes tolerances, measurement, and calibration; Part III presents specific manufacturing processes; and Part IV discusses the design, tooling, and production aspects of manufacturing.
Case studies and case problems are included where appropriate to promote thought and discussion on the part of the student.
Presents practical, down-to-earth descriptions of manufacturing processes, equipment and tooling based on the underlying engineering principles.
Written in a clear and straightforward style easily understood by the beginning student.
Objectives at the beginning of each chapter outline and clarify the goals of that chapter.
Nearly 1000 illustrations complement the text and enhance student learning.

This review is from: Modern Materials and Manufacturing Processes (Hardcover)

Good general over view of manufacturing processes. A little to general for what I was looking for, but a good introduction to methods of manufacturing out there.
