Part of the renowned Tool and Manufacturing Engineers Handbook Series, the Machining Vol. 1 helps you apply cost-effective techniques to achieve the best results for over 100 traditional and nontraditional machining processes. Chapters include: Principles of Metalcutting and Machinability, Tolerance Control, Cutting Tool Materials, Sawing, Broaching, Planing, Shaping, and Slotting, Turning and Boring, Milling, Grinding, Threading Gear and Spline Production, Nontraditional Machining, Machine Loading and Unloading, Machine Rebuilding, and much more!

You'll rely on Forming to help you understand over 50 forming processes plus the advantages, limitations, and operating parameters for each process. Save valuable production time and gain a competitive edge with practical data that covers both the basics and advanced forming processes. Forming also helps you choose the most appropriate materials, utilize innovative die designs, and assess the advantages and limitations of different press types and processes.

This volume focuses on the practical application of processes for manufacturing plastic products. It includes information on design for manufacturability (DFM), material selection, process selection, dies, molds, and tooling, extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, thermoforming, lamination, rotational molding, casting, foam processing, compression and transfer molding, fiber reinforced processing, assembly and fabrication, quality, plant engineering and maintenance, management.

Revised and updated introduction, useful as a reference source for engineers and managers or as a text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in technical colleges and universities. Includes end-of-chapter questions (an answer book is provided for teachers). Annotation copyright Book New
