The completely updated fifth Edition of Production Processes remains the standard reference in its field, reviewing innumerable developments and refinements in the manufacturing area: numerically controlled machining, design for recycling, measuring and gaging, design for assembly. Authoritative contributors give special treatment to a number of process areas, including plastic molding, heat treatment, roll forming, power brushing, polishing and buffing, automatic painting, and much more. This outstanding volume helps make designs more feasible, parts and products more profitable, and process equipment more cost effective.
With sixty-nine chapters and 1089 pages of new perspectives on designing for production, the Fifth Edition of Production Processes is a valuable tool for engineers, designers and management personnel. Over 1200 charts, photos, line drawings & graphs presents a clear picture of the applications, materials, tolerances design details & equipment most suited for the optimum utilization of each production process.

Tab Article

Reviews all the latest developments and refinements, including their design details, materials, practical tolerances, and working finishes. Features over 1,200 charts and illustrations in 69 chapters. Allows the reader to objectively evaluate and compare different processes and equipment with their inherent advantages for any particular application.
