Sheet Metal Press Tools Design and Making : A Practical Approach

In this book, emphasis is laid on explaining various materials of construction of tools, tools design, machining methods, assemblies and selection of power presses, automation, safety and quality aspects. Theoretical aspects are also touched upon. Quality consciousness and cost awareness has appreciably increased manyfold, if compared to what it was about half a century back. Improvement in quality standards and cost reduction efforts is almost a continuous process. This book will go a long way in providing useful knowledge, know-how and information to the students of mechanical engineering courses, as well as the engineers engaged in sheet metal press tools focussing on practical aspects of design and making.
