Manufacturing and workshop practices have become important in the industrial environment to produce products for the service of mankind. The basic need is to provide theoretical and practical knowledge of manufacturing processes and workshop technology to all the engineering students. This book covers most of the syllabus of manufacturing processes/technology, workshop technology and workshop practices for engineering (diploma and degree) classes prescribed by different universities and state technical boards.
Workshop Processes, Practices and Materials is an ideal introduction to workshop processes, practices and materials for entry-level engineers and workshop technicians. With detailed illustrations throughout and simple, clear language, this is a practical introduction to what can be a very complex subject. It has been significantly updated and revised to include new material on adhesives, protective coatings, plastics and current Health and Safety legislation. It covers all the standard topics, including safe practices, measuring equipment, hand and machine tools, materials and joining methods, making it an indispensable handbook for use both in class and the workshop. Its broad coverage makes it a useful reference book for many different courses worldwide.
The book encompasses the basic understanding and procedures involved in mechanical, electrical and electronic workshops. All the manufacturing processes, such as casting, welding, forming and joining, are detailed in this book with various designs associated with each process. The advanced manufacturing processes, CNC machining, plastic moulding and glass cutting are some other non-conventional processes that are frequently been used in industries and are described in detail.The book also includes workshop sessional where experiments with procedural steps and results for each subject of manufacturing have been provided for better grasp of the subject by the student.
Designed for the core course on Workshop Practice offered to all first-year diploma and degree level students of engineering, this book presents clear and concise explanation of the basic principles of manufacturing processes and equips students with overall knowledge of engineering materials, tools and equipment commonly used in the engineering field. The book describes the general principles of different workshop processes such as primary and secondary shaping processes, metal joining methods, surface finishing and heat treatment. The workshop processes covered also include the hand-working processes such as benchwork, fitting, arc welding, sheet metal work, carpentry, blacksmithy and foundry. It also explains the importance of safety measures to be followed in workshop processes and details the procedure of writing the records of the practices. The tools and equipment used in each hand-working process are enumerated before elaborating the process. Finally, the book discusses the machining processes such as turning operations, the cutting tools and the tools used for measuring and marking, and explains the working principle of Engine Lathe. An appendix for advanced level practice and assessment of work has also been included. New to This Edition : A separate chapter on Plumbing as per the revised syllabus of Indian Universities Method for sketching isometric single line piping layout Neatly-drawn illustrations and examples on Plumbing Key Features : Follows the International Standard Organization (ISO) code of practice for drawings. Includes a large number of illustrations to explain the methods and processes discussed. Contains chapter-end questions for viva voce test and exercises for making models.
This textbook includes exposure to plant & shop layout, industrial safety, engineering materials and their heat treatment, bench work and fitting, smithy and forging, sheet metal work, wood and wood working, foundry, welding, mechanical working and machine shop practices. A greater stress has been laid on pictorial representation of various hand tools, operators and machine tools rather than giving exhaustive write up on various topics. The matter has been presented in a structured manner and in an easy to understand language, which can be mastered easily by students of various disciplines. Attention has also been paid to the fact that the text as well as the diagrams can be easily reproduced by the students in theory examinations.The book will be useful for the students of engineering, supervisors, tool room personnel and operators working in manufacturing and other industries.
A Textbook of workshop Technology(Manufacturing Processes)to the students of degree and diploma of all the Indian and foreign universities.The object of this book is to present the subject matter in a most concise,compact,to the point and lucid manner.While writing the book,we have constantly kept in mind the various requirements of the students.No effort has been spared to enrich the book with simple language and self-explanatory diagrams.Every care has been taken not to make the book voluminous,as the students have also to face other subjects of equal importance.
Workshop Technology has been written to give an introduction of various workshop and manufacturing technologies and processes to students of degree and diploma engineering. The book has been written in a logical sequence so that the students can move on to complex manufacturing processes after acquiring knowledge about the basics of processes and materials. This will prove to be an ideal textbook for them to face the term end practical and theory tests with confidence. It is advised that the students should go through the relevant chapters before they start out in workshop or attend a theory lecture on these. KEY FEATURES • Concise presentation of practices in various mechanical shops • Plenty of diagrams to describe every process and tools • Large number of chapter-end review questions • All recent techniques have been covered
The textbook on “Workshop/ Manufacturing Practices” is designed to cater the needs of young minds of 21 century. The AICTE model curriculum and National Education Policy has driven a new wave in the technical education. The textbook is designed not only to cater the need of the syllabus but also to look things in a different perspective. The Workshop is the place where the core of learning about different materials, equipment, tools and techniques takes place. Basically the workshop used to prepare the small components by hand tools. Sometimes they may be parts of the large machines or may may be parts for replacement/repairs. In this text book an attempt has been made to connect the conventional tools usage to advanced machine tools usage. The relevant practical examples are quoted to make the readers more comfortable with product and processes. The blooms taxonomy is fallowed in construction of each chapters and exercises. The objective and multiple questions with higher order thinking may help the readers to not only to face the semester end exam even they may help in competitive and other examinations.
