description: Well organized and clearly written this book uses a sound analytical approach to explain manufacturing processes; it enables the reader to understand and appreciate the complex interrelationships between the diverse topics in this field. The book carefully presents the fundamentals of materials processing along with their relevant applications so that the reader can clearly assess the capabilities limitations and potentials of manufacturing processes and their competitive aspects. Using real-world examples and well-wrought graphics this book covers a multitude of topics including the mechanical behavior of materials; the structure and manufacturing properties of metals; surfaces dimensional characteristics inspection and quality assurance; metal-casting processes including heat treatment; bulk deformation processes; sheet-metal forming processes; material removal processes; polymers reinforced plastics rapid prototyping and rapid tooling; metal powders ceramics glasses composites and superconductors; joining and fastening processes; microelectronic and micromechanical devices; automation; computer-integrated systems; and product design. For manufacturing engineers metallurgists industrial designers material handlers product designers and quality assurance managers.
