Producing a product from the raw materials involves a number of operations. These all operations come under the manufacturing processes. The knowledge of the manufacturing processes is the backbone of engineering. There are different manufacturing processes available in this book. Manufacturing engineering is a branch of professional engineering that shares many common concepts and ideas with other fields of engineering such as mechanical, chemical, electrical, and industrial engineering. Manufacturing engineering requires the ability to plan the practices of manufacturing; to research and to develop tools, processes, machines and equipment; and to integrate the facilities and systems for producing quality products with the optimum expenditure of capital. This book “Manufacturing process and engineering” is a practical and expansive reference which is an essential resource for professionals in manufacturing industry and other disciplines involved in the generation. It presents the complex subject of manufacturing in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different areas of manufacturing engineering. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subjects.
