Introduction to Manufacturing Processes and Materials (Manufacturing, Engineering and Materials Processing)

the First Manufacturing Book To Examine Time-based Break-even Analysis, This Landmark Reference/text Applies Cost Analysis To A Variety Of Industrial Processes, Employing A New, Problem-based Approach To Manufacturing Procedures, Materials, And Management. An Introduction To Manufacturing Processes And Materials Integrates Analysis Of Material Costs And Process Costs, Yielding A Realistic, Effective Approach To Planning And Executing Efficient Manufacturing Schemes. It Discusses Tool Engineering, Particularly In Terms Of Cost For Press Work, Forming Dies, And Casting Patterns, Process Parameters Such As Gating And Riser Design For Casting, Feeds, And More. booknews a Textbook For A Graduate Or Advanced Undergraduate Course For Engineers. Rather Than Taking The Traditional Approach Of Presenting Each Process Related To Manufacturing Separately, Integrates Management, Materials, Processes, And Design Considerations. Emphasizes Problem Solving. Among The Topics Are The Role Of Manufacturing In Global Economics, Mechanical Material Property Relationships, Material Codes And Coding Systems, Process Selection Basics, Metal Casting, Manufacturing Plastic Parts, Bulk Deformation, Sheet Metal Forming, Machining, Tool Design, And Failure Analysis And Prevention. Annotation C. Book News, Inc., Portland, Or (booknews.com) The only manufacturing book that examines time-based break-even analysis, this landmark reference/text applies cost analysis to a variety of industrial processes - metals casting, plastics molding, machining, and others - employing a new, problem-based approach to manufacturing procedures, materials, and management. Introduction to Manufacturing Processes and Materials is a required reference for manufacturing, materials, industrial, and mechanical engineers; production and operations managers in manufacturing; estimators; and an important text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines Manufacturing, which has been practiced for several thousand years, is, in the broadest sense, the process of converting raw materials into products.
