Introduction To Basic Manufacturing Processes And Workshop Technology

Manufacturing and workshop practices have become important in the industrial environment to produce products for the service of mankind. The basic need is to provide theoretical and practical knowledge of manufacturing processes and workshop technology to all the engineering students. This book covers most of the syllabus of manufacturing processes/technology, workshop technology and workshop practices for engineering (diploma and degree) classes prescribed by different universities and state technical boards.

Workshop Technology has been written to give an introduction of various workshop and manufacturing technologies and processes to students of degree and diploma engineering. The book has been written in a logical sequence so that the students can move on to complex manufacturing processes after acquiring knowledge about the basics of processes and materials. This will prove to be an ideal textbook for them to face the term end practical and theory tests with confidence. It is advised that the students should go through the relevant chapters before they start out in workshop or attend a theory lecture on these. KEY FEATURES • Concise presentation of practices in various mechanical shops • Plenty of diagrams to describe every process and tools • Large number of chapter-end review questions • All recent techniques have been covered

A Textbook of workshop Technology(Manufacturing Processes)to the students of degree and diploma of all the Indian and foreign universities.The object of this book is to present the subject matter in a most concise,compact,to the point and lucid manner.While writing the book,we have constantly kept in mind the various requirements of the students.No effort has been spared to enrich the book with simple language and self-explanatory diagrams.Every care has been taken not to make the book voluminous,as the students have also to face other subjects of equal importance.

Workshop Processes, Practices and Materials is an ideal introduction to workshop processes, practices and materials for entry-level engineers and workshop technicians. With detailed illustrations throughout and simple, clear language, this is a practical introduction to what can be a very complex subject. It has been significantly updated and revised to include new material on adhesives, protective coatings, plastics and current Health and Safety legislation. It covers all the standard topics, including safe practices, measuring equipment, hand and machine tools, materials and joining methods, making it an indispensable handbook for use both in class and the workshop. Its broad coverage makes it a useful reference book for many different courses worldwide.

The book encompasses the basic understanding and procedures involved in mechanical, electrical and electronic workshops. All the manufacturing processes, such as casting, welding, forming and joining, are detailed in this book with various designs associated with each process. The advanced manufacturing processes, CNC machining, plastic moulding and glass cutting are some other non-conventional processes that are frequently been used in industries and are described in detail.The book also includes workshop sessional where experiments with procedural steps and results for each subject of manufacturing have been provided for better grasp of the subject by the student.

Effective from 2008-09 session, U.P.T.U. has introduced the subject of manufacturing processes for first year engineering students of all streams. This textbook covers the entire course material in a distilled form.

This book is written in simple English, and in a manner that even a student beginning a course in workshop technology will read and understand easily. It is my believe however, that this book will be beneficial to the readers in trying to transform their ideas into a reality by producing things that will make life more comfortable for humans.
