Manufacturing Processes for the Technician (Hardcover)

A practical new text devoted to the many ways in which raw materials are economically converted into useful products. Discussion of large-scale processes - materials addition, removal and change - are grouped together, followed by coverage of applications. Students first build a thorough knowledge of similarities and differences in processes, and that foundation carefully sets the stage for an understanding of how to choose the optimal processes for a specific project.;This work is intended for students on introductory courses in manufacturing processes, found in engineering technology, industrial technology, and manufacturing technology programs.
