Metal Shaping Processes: Casting and Molding; Particulate Processing; Deformation Processes; and Metal Removal

Industrial engineer Boljnovic intends this text on metal shaping processes for manufacturing engineers, managers, and supervisors; process engineers; product design engineers; maintenance and reliability managers and technicians; and students in mechanical, industrial, and manufacturing programs. The thirteen chapters cover fundamentals and applications and are divided into four themes: casting, molding, and other processes in which the starting material is a heated liquid; basic particulate processing in which the starting materials are metal powders; the most-used deformation processes in which starting materials are solid metals; and the most-used metal-removal processes used with solid starting materials. Both ISO and U.S. unit systems are used. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
