The printing of the seventh edition of the book has provided the author with an opportunity to completely go through the text.Minor Additions and Improvements have been carried out,wherever needed.All the figure work has been redone on computer,with the result that all the figures are clear and sharp.The author is really thankful to M/s S.Chand & Company Ltd. for doing an excellent job in publishing the latest edition of the book.

For more than 20 years, “A Textbook of Production Technology” has been a useful book for undergraduate students of Mechanical Engineering. It is written with the objective of providing comprehensive knowledge about various aspects of materials used in manufacturing process along with the Welding Process, machine tools and ceramic and composite materials.

This is the revised edition of the book with new chapters to incorporate the latest developments in the field.It contains appox. 200 problems from various competitive examinations (GATE, IES, IAS) have been included.The author does hope that with this, the utility of the book will be further enhanced.

The purpose of this book, Production Technology, is to provide a comprehensive knowledge and insight into various aspects of engineering materials, their heat and fabrication, manufacturing processes, machining and tooling techniques, non-conventional methods of machining, the cutting tools, tooling equipment and machine tools, dies, jigs and fixtures, presses etc. As computers are finding more and more usage in factories, special attention has been given for their full coverage. Other chapters have been especially added in view of the latest trends and developments taking place in the field of production. Modern practices and recent trends on automation have been covered in each chapter. A good number of important problems collected from several universities have been solved and given at the end of each chapter.

Provides an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of a wide range of state-of-the-art materials manufacturing processes Modern manufacturing is at the core of industrial production from base materials to semi-finished goods and final products. Over the last decade, a variety of innovative methods have been developed that allow for manufacturing processes that are more versatile, less energy-consuming, and more environmentally friendly. This book provides readers with everything they need to know about the many manufacturing processes of today. Presented in three parts, Modern Manufacturing Processes starts by covering advanced manufacturing forming processes such as sheet forming, powder forming, and injection molding. The second part deals with thermal and energy-assisted manufacturing processes, including warm and hot hydrostamping. It also covers high speed forming (electromagnetic, electrohydraulic, and explosive forming). The third part reviews advanced material removal process like advanced grinding, electro-discharge machining, micro milling, and laser machining. It also looks at high speed and hard machining and examines advances in material modeling for manufacturing analysis and simulation. Offers a comprehensive overview of advanced materials manufacturing processes Provides practice-oriented information to help readers find the right manufacturing methods for the intended applications Highly relevant for material scientists and engineers in industry Modern Manufacturing Processes is an ideal book for practitioners and researchers in materials and mechanical engineering.

Manufacturing Processes is meant for the students of B.Tech. in all branches of engineering, namely, Mechanical, Electronics, Computer, Information Technology, Electrical and Civil. This book aims to fullfil specific need. Effective from 2008-09 sessions

Mikell Groover, author of the leading text in manufacturing processes, has developed Introduction to Manufacturing Processes as a more navigable and student-friendly text paired with a strong suite of additional tools and resources online to help instructors drive positive student outcomes. Focusing mainly on processes, tailoring down the typical coverage of both materials and systems. The emphasis on manufacturing science and mathematical modeling of processes is an important attribute of the new book. Real world/design case studies are also integrated with fundamentals - process videos provide students with a chance to experience being 'on the floor' in a manufacturing facility, followed by case studies that provide individual students or groups of students to dig into larger/more design-oriented problems.
