This new edition textbook provides comprehensive knowledge and insight into various aspects of manufacturing technology processes materials tooling and equipment. Its main objective is to introduce the grand spectrum of manufacturing technology to individuals who will be involved in the design and manufacturing of finished products and to provide them with basic information on manufacturing technologies. Manufacturing Technology: Materials Processes and Equipment Second Edition is written in a descriptive manner where the emphasis is on the fundamentals of the process its capabilities typical applications advantages and limitations. Mathematical modeling and equations are used only when they enhance the basic understanding of the material dealt with. The book is a fundamental textbook that covers all the manufacturing processes materials and equipment used to convert the raw materials to a final product. It presents the materials used in manufacturing processes and covers the heat treatment processes smelting of metals and other technological processes such as casting forming powder metallurgy joining processes and surface technology. Manufacturing processes for polymers ceramics and composites are also covered. The book also covers surface technology fundamentals of traditional and nontraditional machining processes numerical control of machine tools industrial robots and hexapods additive manufacturing and industry 4.0 technologies. The book is written specifically for undergraduates in industrial manufacturing mechanical and materials engineering disciplines of the second to fourth levels to cover complete courses of manufacturing technology taught in engineering colleges and institutions all over the world. It also covers the needs of production and manufacturing engineers and technologists participating in related industries where it is expected to be part of their professional library. Additionally the book can be used by students in other disciplines concerned with design and manufacturing such as automotive and aerospace engineering. |Manufacturing Technology Materials Processes and Equipment | Ergonomics & Industrial Engineering
