Manufacturing Processes for Engineering Materials, 6e (SI Units) addresses advances in all aspects of manufacturing, clearly presenting comprehensive, up-to-date and
balanced coverage of the fundamentals of materials and processes. With the Sixth Edition, students will learn to properly assess the capabilities, limitations and
potential of manufacturing processes and their competitive aspects. The
numerous examples and case studies throughout the book help to develop a perspective on the real-world applications of the topics described in the book. As in previous editions, this text maintains the same number of chapters while continuing to emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of all manufacturing activities, including the complex interactions among materials, design and
manufacturing processes.
