Manufacturing Processes And Systems, 9Th Ed

First written in 1942, this authoritative book covers everything an engineer needs to know about manufacturing systems and processes. This book takes a systems-based, rather than process-only, approach to manufacturing. The authors present a modern description of processes and its evaluation, including recent developments in the subject. It is a comprehensive text that presents over 400 manufacturing processes. It discusses a systems orientation to manufacturing, since it is systems that make manufacturing efficient. · the manufacturing system · nature and properties of materials · production of ferrous metals · production of nonferrous metals · foundry processes · contemporary casting processes · basic machine tool elements · sawing, broaching, shaping, and planning · grinding and abrasive processes · pressworking and operations · heat treating · plastic materials and processes · electronic fabrication · nontraditional processes and powder metallurgy · thread and gear working · operations planning · geometric dimensioning and tolerancing · metrology and testing · quality systems · computer numerical control systems · process automation · operator-machine systems · cost estimating
