Description Manufacturing Engineering & Technology, 6/e, presents a mostly qualitative description of the science, technology, and practice of manufacturing. This includes detailed descriptions of manufacturing processes and the manufacturing enterprise that will help introduce students to important concepts.
With a total of 120 examples and case studies, up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of all topics, and superior two-color graphics, this text provides a solid background for manufacturing students and serves as a valuable reference text for professionals.
The Sixth Edition has been completely updated, and addresses issues essential to modern manufacturing, ranging from traditional topics such as casting, forming, machining, and joining, to advanced topics such as the fabrication of microelectronic devices and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and nanomaterials and nanomanufacturing.
Features
An excellent overview of manufacturing concepts is provided with a balance of relevant fundamentals and real-world practices.
Coverage of the latest technological advances, like rapid prototyping, the most dramatic change in manufacturing in recent years. Also includes coverage of nanofabrication, rapid tooling, and semisolid metalworking (Chapter 20) making this is one of the most up-to-date texts available.
A wealth of examples and industrially-relevant case studies demonstrate the importance of the subject matter, offer a real-world perspective, and keep students interested and engaged.
Comprehensive bibliographies that are far more comprehensive than in any other textbooks in manufacturing.
Superior use of analogies, discussions, and problems motivate students’ interest in the material. For example, see the case studies on the manufacture of golf clubs (Chapter 24), artificial hip stems (Chapter 11), and monosteel piston (Chapter 31).
Four kinds of end-of-chapter problems help reinforce concepts in each chapter: Review Questions; Qualitative Problems; Quantitative Problems; and Synthesis, Design, and Projects.
