Synopses & Reviews
Modern Materials and Manufacturing Processes, Third Edition, is an introductory text that presents broad coverage of both materials and processes, from raw material to finished product: The text is written for a survey course that covers both materials and manufacturing processes at the technology level.
In the third edition, topics have been reordered and updated throughout to be more logical and complete. For instance, the new Chapter 7 introduces design requirements before subsequent chapters cover manufacturing processes. Manufacturing processes are covered before measurement and quality assurance. New and updated illustrations in every chapter maintain the texts reputation for abundant and excellent graphics. New features of this edition:
- New and updated illustrations throughout
- Key Terms feature begins each chapter
- New introductory summary at start of each chapter
- New "Introduction" chapter
- Expanded coverage of ceramics, plastics, and composites
- New Chapter 7, "Design Specifications and the Capability of the Manufacturing Process," introduces requirements before the subsequent chapters cover manufacturing processes
- New Chapter 22 covers automation and mass production
- Glossary with 160 new entries
Other features of this text: - Review Questions end each chapter
- Case Problems in most chapters
- Boldface glossary terms throughout chapter discussions
Review
"I like your book for a survey of manufacturing processes. Most other books go into such detail that it could take two, three, or four courses to fully cover the material. It is difficult to use a book of that depth as an introduction to manufacturing; your book will do the job." Thomas J. Beck, Texas A&M University
"The text's strengths are excellent illustrations, breadth of topics, and easy-to-understand treatment." Ramamurthy Prabhakaran, Old Dominion University
Synopsis
This book introduces the current state-of-the-art technology in materials and manufacturing processes with an emphasis on the rapidly growing technologies in the plastics and aerospace industries. It takes a unique approach by presenting specific materials and manufacturing processes, then progresses into a discussion of the ways in which these materials and processes are integrated into today's functioning manufacturing industry. KEY TOPICS A four-part organization presents materials and their applications; covers specific manufacturing processes; emphasizes tolerances, measurement, and calibration; and discusses the design, tooling, and production aspects of manufacturing. For individuals preparing for an engineering technology career.
