Manufacturing Technology - Softcover

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Manufacturing Technology is intended for those studying engineering manufacture for HNC/D and first/second-year engineering degree courses. The broad and in-depth coverage of this two-volume approach ensures that these texts not only satisfy the requirements of technician students up to the highest level but also provide an excellent technical background for undergraduates studying for a degree in mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering and combined engineering.

Volume 2 is divided into three key sections covering the technology of manufacture, the management of manufacture and health, safety and environmental issues. Part A - The technology of manufacture covers: design for manufacture and assembly, casting, flow forming processes, sintered particulate processes, plastic moulding processes, cutting processes, measurement and inspection, and advanced manufacturing technology (AMT). Part B - The management of manufacture covers: control of manufacture, cost control, and quality in manufacture. Part C - Health, safety and environmental issues covers: health and safety at work.

Features

provides a practical rather than a theoretical approach
covers all the main manufacturing processes
now includes self-assessment tasks, end of chapter exercises and chapter summaries

This book follows on from the companion volume Manufacturing Technology, Volume 1, which provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practice of engineering manufacturing processes. The third edition has been written, updated and expanded to reflect the current requirements of the Advanced GNVQ Engineering syllabus and BTEC HNC/D engineering specifications. As such it also forms an ideal introduction to the subject for first-year degree courses in engineering.

R L Timings is the author of many successful engineering textbooks and was formerly Head of Department of Engineering, Henley College, Coventry.

Lecturers have praised the way Manufacturing Technology Volume 1, Third Edition approaches the subject matter:

"I have found Timings: Manufacturing Technology Volume 1 to be an excellent source of information for a range of courses."
"A well structured, easy-to-follow text with effective illustrations to support the text. The level is correct and the style appropriate."

And of this new edition of Volume 2 reviewers have commented:
"The book's main strength is its clarity of layout and systematic approach explaining each topic."
