Guiding engineering and technology students for over five decades, DeGarmo's Materials and Processes in Manufacturing provides a comprehensive introduction to manufacturing materials, systems, and processes. Coverage of materials focuses on properties and behavior, favoring a practical approach over complex mathematics; analytical equations and mathematical models are only presented when they strengthen comprehension and provide clarity. Material production processes are examined in the context of practical application to promote efficient understanding of basic principles, and broad coverage of manufacturing processes illustrates the mechanisms of each while exploring their respective advantages and limitations. Aiming for both accessibility and completeness, this text offers introductory students a comprehensive guide to material behavior and selection, measurement and inspection, machining, fabrication, molding, fastening, and other important processes using plastics, ceramics, composites, and ferrous and nonferrous metals and alloys. This extensive overview of the field gives students a solid foundation for advanced study in any area of engineering, manufacturing, and technology.

An introduction to manufacturing processes, materials and manufacturing systems, this text integrates discussions of materials and processes with many illustrations and diagrams. The emphasis is on application and design. This edition has been completely revised and updated with much new material.

This book's main focus is on casting, forming, machining and joining, but it also includes cutting-edge processes such as rapid prototyping, electronics and metal-cutting dynamics. It has: a coverage of lean manufacturing and manufacturing systems design, a section on machining dynamics, and coverage of properties and behaviours of a range of materials and the basics of various manufacturing processes.

Newly revised, DeGarmo′s Materials and Processes in Manufacturing has been the market-leading text on manufacturing and manufacturing processes courses for over fifty years. Authors J T. Black and Ron Kohser have continued this book′s long and distinguished tradition of exceedingly clear presentation and highly practical approach to materials and processes, presenting mathematical models and analytical equations only when they enhance the basic understanding of the material. Updated to reflect all current practices, standards, and materials, this edition has new coverage of additive manufacturing, lean engineering, and processes related to ceramics, polymers, and plastics.

Market_Desc: Industrial Engineers, Manufacturers, Students and Instructors of Engineering Special Features: " Follows an easier, more logical flow of topics that helps readers quickly grasp the concepts." Integrates new case studies throughout the chapters to provide a real-world perspective." Includes a new DVD that can be used as a reference to reinforce the material." Introduces the technical terms that are used on the factory floor." Utilizes numerous photos and illustrations to clearly show how the equipment works. About The Book: No other book in the field has stood the test of time as Degarmo. Now the new tenth edition continues the tradition by presenting a solid introduction to the fundamentals of manufacturing along with the most up-to-date information. In order to make the concepts easier to understand, a variety of engineering materials are discussed as well as their properties and means of modifying them. Manufacturing processes and the concepts dealing with producing quality products are also covered.

Now in its eleventh edition, DeGarmo's Materials and Processes in Manufacturing has been a market-leading text on manufacturing and manufacturing processes courses for more than fifty years. Authors J T. Black and Ron Kohser have continued this book's long and distinguished tradition of exceedingly clear presentation and highly practical approach to materials and processes, presenting mathematical models and analytical equations only when they enhance the basic understanding of the material. Completely revised and updated to reflect all current practices, standards, and materials, the eleventh edition has new coverage of additive manufacturing, lean engineering, and processes related to ceramics, polymers, and plastics.

Engineers rely on Groover because of the book’s quantitative and engineering-oriented approach that provides more equations and numerical problem exercises. The fourth edition introduces more modern topics, including new materials, processes and systems. End of chapter problems are also thoroughly revised to make the material more relevant. Several figures have been enhanced to significantly improve the quality of artwork. All of these changes will help engineers better understand the topic and how to apply it in the field.
