Textbook of Production Engineering

Now in its second edition, this thoroughly revised book provides complete coverage of the fundamental concepts and applications of production engineering.

Divided into six parts, the text covers theoretical concepts, the design and process of metal cutting, the design of various machine tools, and aspects of precision measurement and manufacturing. The concepts and processes of metal working and the design of press tools, various modern methods of manufacturing, such as ultrasonic machining (USM), electrochemical deburring (ECD), and hot machining, are also covered. A variety of worked-out examples and end-of-chapter review questions are provided to test the comprehension of the underlying concepts and principles. The text is extensively illustrated to help students gain a thorough understanding of various production processes and the principles behind them.

The text is primarily intended to serve the needs of the undergraduate students of mechanical engineering and production engineering, though postgraduate students will also find the book useful.
