Handbook of Manufacturing Processes: How Products, Components, and Materials are Made

Far more ambitious than any similar reference, Handbook of Manufacturing Processes is an in-depth compilation of the workings of more than 1,500 manufacturing processes in the metalworking, chemicals, textiles, plastics, ceramics, electronics, wood, and food industries, as well as a wide-ranging presentation of how more than 600 important products, components, and materials are made. Logically organized in two sections, a process section and a products section, it describes clearly and succinctly the operations performed in the world's factories.

Heavily illustrated, it is an extraordinarily comprehensive source of technical manufacturing information. Manufacturing and process engineers, factory managers and supervisors, and anyone who has an interest in or needs to know about manufacturing operations and how products are made will find in this book a treasure trove of useful information.
