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.

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.

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.

TEXT BOOK FOR THE STUDENTS OF B.E. / B.TECH. , U.P.S.E. (ENGG. SERVICES) ; SECTION 'B' OF A.M.I.E. (I)

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.

For close to 30 years, “A Textbook of Applied Electronics” has been a comprehensive text for undergraduate students of Electronics and Communications Engineering. The book comprises of 35 chapters, all delving on important concepts such as structure of solids, DC resistive circuits, PN junction, PN junction diode, rectifiers and filters, hybrid parameters, power amplifiers, sinusoidal oscillators, and time base circuits. In addition, the book consists of several chapter-wise questions and detailed diagrams to understand the complex concepts of applied electronics better. This book is also becomes an essential-read for aspirants preparing for competitive examinations like GATE and NET.

Manufacturing Processes is meant for the students of B.Tech. in all branches of engineering, namely, Mechanical, Electronics, Computer, Information Technology, Electrical and Civil. This book aims to fullfil specific need. Effective from 2008-09 sessions

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.

Individuals who will be involved in design and manufacturing of finished products need to understand the grand spectrum of manufacturing technology. Comprehensive and fundamental, Manufacturing Technology: Materials, Processes, and Equipment introduces and elaborates on the field of manufacturing technology-its processes, materials, tooling, and eq
