The printing of the seventh edition of the book has provided the author with an opportunity to completely go through the text.Minor Additions and Improvements have been carried out,wherever needed.All the figure work has been redone on computer,with the result that all the figures are clear and sharp.The author is really thankful to M/s S.Chand & Company Ltd. for doing an excellent job in publishing the latest edition of the book.

For more than 20 years, “A Textbook of Production Technology” has been a useful book for undergraduate students of Mechanical Engineering. It is written with the objective of providing comprehensive knowledge about various aspects of materials used in manufacturing process along with the Welding Process, machine tools and ceramic and composite materials.

This is the revised edition of the book with new chapters to incorporate the latest developments in the field.It contains appox. 200 problems from various competitive examinations (GATE, IES, IAS) have been included.The author does hope that with this, the utility of the book will be further enhanced.

Provides an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of a wide range of state-of-the-art materials manufacturing processes Modern manufacturing is at the core of industrial production from base materials to semi-finished goods and final products. Over the last decade, a variety of innovative methods have been developed that allow for manufacturing processes that are more versatile, less energy-consuming, and more environmentally friendly. This book provides readers with everything they need to know about the many manufacturing processes of today. Presented in three parts, Modern Manufacturing Processes starts by covering advanced manufacturing forming processes such as sheet forming, powder forming, and injection molding. The second part deals with thermal and energy-assisted manufacturing processes, including warm and hot hydrostamping. It also covers high speed forming (electromagnetic, electrohydraulic, and explosive forming). The third part reviews advanced material removal process like advanced grinding, electro-discharge machining, micro milling, and laser machining. It also looks at high speed and hard machining and examines advances in material modeling for manufacturing analysis and simulation. Offers a comprehensive overview of advanced materials manufacturing processes Provides practice-oriented information to help readers find the right manufacturing methods for the intended applications Highly relevant for material scientists and engineers in industry Modern Manufacturing Processes is an ideal book for practitioners and researchers in materials and mechanical engineering.

The purpose of this book, Production Technology, is to provide a comprehensive knowledge and insight into various aspects of engineering materials, their heat and fabrication, manufacturing processes, machining and tooling techniques, non-conventional methods of machining, the cutting tools, tooling equipment and machine tools, dies, jigs and fixtures, presses etc. As computers are finding more and more usage in factories, special attention has been given for their full coverage. Other chapters have been especially added in view of the latest trends and developments taking place in the field of production. Modern practices and recent trends on automation have been covered in each chapter. A good number of important problems collected from several universities have been solved and given at the end of each chapter.

Suitable for mechanical, industrial and production engineering students at both degree and diploma level and for competitive examinations, this contains chapters covering the various topics the subject.

This Textbook Discusses Various Manufacturing Processes Like Welding Techniques, Boring, Broaching, Grinding, Metal Forming, Press Working And Micro Finishing Processes. Each Process Is Comprehensively Illustrated, Defined And Explained To Provide The Reader With An Understanding Of The Process And Its Application. In Addition Chapters Of Metrology And Surface Roughness And Its Measurement Have Also Been Added. Keeping In View The Latest Development, Chapters On Modern Machining Processes. Modern Forming Techniques. Numerical Control Of Machine Tools And Advanced Manufacturing Technologies Have Also Been Dealt With In Detail.Chapters Like Jigs And Fixtures, Surface Preparation And Coating Techniques Have Also Been Discussed. We Hope That The Book Will Be Useful For The Students Of Diploma Programmes In Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering And Manufacturing Technology. The Book Will Also Be Useful To Technician Engineers, Supervisors, Tool Room Personnel And Operators Working In Manufacturing And Other Industries.

Manufacturing and workshop practices have become important in the industrial environment to produce products for the service of mankind. The basic need is to provide theoretical and practical knowledge of manufacturing processes and workshop technology to all the engineering students. This book covers most of the syllabus of manufacturing processes/technology, workshop technology and workshop practices for engineering (diploma and degree) classes prescribed by different universities and state technical boards.

An encyclopaedic guide to production techniques and materials for product and industrial designers, engineers, and architects. Today's product designers are presented with a myriad of choices when creating their work and preparing it for manufacture. They have to be knowledgeable about a vast repertoire of processes, ranging from what used to be known as traditional "crafts" to the latest technology, to enable their designs to be manufactured effectively and efficiently. Information on the internet about such processes is often unreliable, and search engines do not usefully organize material for designers. This fundamental new resource explores innovative production techniques and materials that are having an impact on the design industry worldwide. Organized into four easily referenced parts—Forming, Cutting, Joining, and Finishing—over seventy manufacturing processes are explained in depth with full technical descriptions; analyses of the typical applications, design opportunities, and considerations each process offers; and information on cost, speed, and environmental impact. The accompanying step-by-step case studies look at a product or component being manufactured at a leading international supplier. A directory of more than fifty materials includes a detailed technical profile, images of typical applications and finishes, and an overview of each material's design characteristics. With some 1,200 color photographs and technical illustrations, specially commissioned for this book, this is the definitive reference for product designers, 3D designers, engineers, and architects who need a convenient, highly accessible, and practical reference.
