Responding to the need for an integrated approach in manufacturing engineering oriented toward practical problem solving, this updated second edition describes a process morphology based on fundamental elements that can be applied to all manufacturing methods - providing a framework for classifying processes into major families with a common theoretical foundation. This work presents time-saving... Read more

". . .help[s] the reader understand where a particular process fits within the overall manufacturing scheme and what processes might be suitable for the manufacture of a particular component. Well illustrated with clear line diagrams, the subject matter is well presented in an informal manner which makes the book easy to read and understand. . .well worth reading and keeping for reference.
