Manufacturing process selection handbook
Swift, K. G.
Manufacturing process selection handbook [recurso electrónico] / K.G. Swift, J.D. Booker. - Oxford : Butterworth-Heinemann, 2013. - 1 online resource
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Chapter 1. Introduction to the handbook -- chapter 2. Process selection strategies and case studies -- chapter 3. Casting processes -- chapter 4. Forming processes -- chapter 5. Plastics and composites processing -- chapter 6. Machining processes -- chapter 7. Non-traditional machining processes -- chapter 8. Rapid prototyping processes -- chapter 9. Surface engineering processes -- chapter 10. Assembly systems -- chapter 11. Joining processes -- chapter 12. Component costing -- chapter 13. Assembly costing.
The selection of suitable manufacturing processes is an essential part of the design process but it is often secondary to the choice of component form and shape, regularly resulting in late engineering changes, high costs and compromised quality. Novice design engineers in particular lack the wide experience of different manufacturing processes such as casting, forming, machining, fabrication and joining of materials needed to make an informed, appropriate and cost-effective manufacturing choice from the breadth of possibilities for a particular design. Building on content from the authors' earlier introductory Process Selection, 2e guide, this expanded handbook fills the knowledge gap with concise descriptions of many different processes.
