Textbook of Production Engineering

by K.C. Jain

This thoroughly revised book, now in its second edition, gives a complete coverage of the fundamental concepts and applications of Production Engineering.
It provides a comprehensive introduction to the topics taught in production engineering, such as metal cutting, metal forming, machine tools, and measurement and manufacturing techniques. In this edition, a new chapter (Chapter 29) on Grinding and other abrasive metal removal processes and many new sections are included with ample illustrations that help students understand the concepts in a clear way. The book is essentially meant for mechanical engineering and production engineering students at BE/B.Tech. level.
The concepts and processes of metal working and the design of press tools, various modern methods of manufacturing, such as ultrasonic machining (USM), electrochemical deburring (ECD), and hot machining are also covered. A variety of worked-out examples and end-of-chapter review questions are provided to strengthen the grasp as well as to test the comprehension of the underlying concepts and principles. The text is extensively illustrated to aid the students in gaining a thorough understanding of various production processes and the principles behind them.
