Production Technology(Third Edition)

Production Technology is meant for the students of B. Tech in Mechanical, Production and Manufacturing Engineering. It deals with the fundamental concepts of Foundry, Forming, Welding technologies and Foundry Mechanization. The book covers both theoretical and analytical concepts. The analytical concepts are introduced beginning from the fundamentals for easy comprehension. Several worked out examples, review and objective-type questions are provided at the end of each chapter. More than 150 line sketches are included, which are self-explanatory and easy to reproduce in the examination. New in this Edition Chapter on Furnaces, Solidification of Castings and Casting Defects is fully revised and a topic on solidification of alloys is added. In chapter Welding Processes topics, such as gas cutting, oxy-acetylene welding, and flash welding are included. A new chapter on Metals and Alloys is added which contains important ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys with their applications. Contents: 1. Fundamentals of Metal Casting 2.
