Synopses & Reviews
Often emulated but never matched, DeGarmo's Materials and Processes in Manufacturing has been the standard introduction to manufacturing fundamentals since 1957. The book has long been noted for its comprehensive coverage of the basic workings of various materials and processes. In the Ninth Edition, co-authors RON Kohser and J T. BLACK have added material on new processes, manufacturing systems design, and quality control. New and updated examples, problems, and lab exercises have also been added.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
* Study new processes. While this book still focuses on casting, forming, machining, and joining, new material on rapid prototyping, electronics, and metal-cutting has been added.
* See the big picture redesigning the factory. This edition includes more coverage of lean manufacturing and manufacturing systems design, as well as in-depth material on quality control and process capability, to help you understand the system as a whole.
* Understand machinability factors. The Ninth Edition features a new section in Chapter 21 on machinery dynamics. This is the only text that explains how machinability factors are determined and how the values for speed, feed, and depth of cut are rationalized.
* Learn and practice online. New interactive problems, case studies, and lab exercises are available on the book's Web site, at www.wiley.com/college/degarmo.
FEATURES
* Understand manufacturing fundamentals. The authors cover the properties and behaviors of a range of materials and the basics of various manufacturing processes, so you get a clear introduction to a variety of options.
* Get familiar with the language and the equipment of real factories. The authors introduce you to the technical terms used on the factory floor, and numerous photos and illustrations help you understand how equipment works.
Review
"This is an excellent text that provides in-depth coverage of materials, manufacturing processes and systems." (Times Higher Education Supplement, November 2007)
Synopsis
This is the revised edition of a best-selling book that introduces materials and processes in manufacturing.
Materials and Processes in Manufacturing provides a descriptive introduction to manufacturing processes, materials, and manufacturing systems. It solidly integrates discussions of materials and processes through the use of numerous illustration, photographs, and diagrams throughout the book. The emphasis on application and design established in previous editions has been maintained. The eighth edition of Materials and Processes in Manufacturing has been completely revised and updated to reflect all current practices, standards, and materials. In addition, all illustrations have been redrawn or are completely new and chapter outlines have been added to the beginning of each chapter.
Synopsis
Through nine highly successful editions and now a new Tenth Edition, DeGarmo, Black, and Kohser's MATERIALS AND PROCESSES IN MANUFACTURING has built a strong reputation for its exceedingly clear presentation and highly practical approach to materials and processes. Completely revised and updated to reflect all current practices, standards, and materials, the Tenth Edition covers manufacturing processes, manufacturing systems, and materials for manufacturing.
Through an exclusive arrangement between Society of Manufacturing Engineers and Wiley the Tenth Edition includes a DVD that is a 2 hr collection of video clips abridged from the SME Fundamental Manufacturing Processes video series. It contains approximately 20 clips of 5-6 minutes each.
