Processes of Manufacturing / Edition 1

by R. Thomas Wright

Overview

Provides comprehensive instruction in the various methods of processing metals, plastics, ceramics, and composite materials. The book devotes several chapters to each of the major processes used in manufacturing today: casting and molding, forming, separating, conditioning, assembling, and finishing. Additional information is provided on manufacturing, automation, process planning, and total quality management (TQM). The book is extensively illustrated with photos and a large number of line drawings that clearly convey the details of important processes.

Editorial Reviews

A text introducing various methods of processing metals, plastics, ceramics, and composite materials. Material is organized around six major manufacturing processes: casting and molding, forming, separating, conditioning, assembling, and finishing. Sections devoted to each process are further subdivided into introductory chapters and chapters detailing specific methods used with various industrial materials in that process. Includes an introductory section on the nature of manufacturing, the organizational structure of manufacturing enterprises, and the physical characteristics of industrial materials. A final section covers process planning, automation, and quality. Includes b&w photos, chapter summaries, and study questions. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
