Advanced Machining Technology Handbook

Rating:
Summary: A valuable reference
Review: The world of manufacturing has changed greatly over the past several years. New materials and processes have been developed to create a multitude of products, but the most efficient techniques are not always used in machining certain products or compounds. The Advanced Machining Technology Handbook is designed to help in the selection of effective manufacturing processes. Each chapter discusses a process and explains its benefits. Brown does not attempt to give complete coverage of any of these processes. Rather, this book is meant to be a guide for the selection of which manufacturing process would be best for a given product.

Brown concentrates on describing what each process can do, but purposely omits equations and tables of data used in calculations. Some of the information is anecdotal in nature, explaining how a process can make manufacturing more efficient. Advance Machining Technology Handbook is a valuable reference for those who are involved with manufacturing as well as for students. It is recommended for all libraries supporting mechanical or manufacturing engineering programs.
