Pearson presents Manufacturing Engineering and Technology, 7e an up-to-date text that providesa solid background in manufacturing processes.The Seventh Edition has been completely updated and addresses issues essential to modernmanufacturing, ranging from traditional topics such as casting, forming, machining and joining,to advanced topics such as the fabrication of microelectronic devices and microelectromechanicalsystems (MEMS) and nanomaterials and nonmanufacturing. With comprehensive coverage of alltopics and superior graphics, this text provides a solid background for manufacturing students andserves as a valuable reference text for professionals.Features 1. An excellent overview of manufacturing concepts is provided with a balance of relevant fundamentals and real-world practices.2. Coverage of the latest technological advances, like rapid prototyping, the most dramatic change in manufacturing in recent years. Also includes coverage of nanofabrication, rapid tooling and semisolid metalworking making this is one of the most up-to-date texts available.3. A wealth of examples and industrially-relevant case studies demonstrate the importance of the subject matter, offer a real-world perspective and keep students interested and engaged.4.Superior use of analogies, discussions and problems motivate students’ interest in the material.Table of Contents Chapter 1 the Structure Of MetalsChapter 2 Mechanical Behaviour, Testing and Manufacturing Properties of MaterialsChapter 3 Physical Properties of MaterialsChapter 4 Metal Alloys: Their Structure and Strengthening by Heat Treatment Chapter 5 Ferrous Metals and Alloys: Production, General Properties and Applications Chapter 6 Nonferrous Metals and Alloys: Production, General Properties and ApplicationsChapter 7 Polymers: Structure, General Properties and ApplicationsChapter 8 Ceramics, Glass, Graphite, Diamond and Nanomaterials: Structure, General Properties and ApplicationsChapter 9 Composite Materials: Structure, General Properties and Applications Chapter 10 Fundamentals of Metal CastingChapter 11 Metal-casting Processes and EquipmentChapter 12 Metal Casting: Design, Materials and EconomicsChapter 13 Metal-rolling Processes and EquipmentChapter 14 Metal-forging Processes and EquipmentChapter 15 Metal Extrusion and Drawing Processes and Equipment Chapter 16 Sheet-metal Forming Processes and EquipmentChapter 17 Powder Metal Processes and EquipmentChapter 18 Ceramics, Glasses and Superconductors: Processing and Equipment Chapter 19 Plastics and Composite Materials: Forming and Shaping Chapter 20 Rapid-prototyping Processes and OperationsChapter 21 Fundamentals of MachiningChapter 22 Cutting-tool Materials and Cutting FluidsChapter 23 Machining Processes: Turning and Hole MakingChapter 24 Machining Processes: Milling, Broaching, Sawing, Filing and Gear Manufacturing Chapter 25 Machining Centers, Machine-Tool Structures and Machining Economics Chapter 26 Abrasive Machining and Finishing OperationsChapter 27 Advanced Machining Processes and EquipmentChapter 28 Fabrication of Microelectronic DevicesChapter 29 Fabrication of Microelectromechanical Devices and Systems and Nanoscale Manufacturing Chapter 30 Fusion Welding ProcessesChapter 31 Solid-State Welding ProcessesChapter 32 Brazing, Soldering, Adhesive-bonding and Mechanical Fastening ProcessesChapter 33 Surface Roughness and Measurement Friction, Wear and LubricationChapter 34 Surface Treatments, Coatings and CleaningChapter 35 Engineering Metrology and InstrumentationChapter 36 Quality Assurance, Testing and InspectionChapter 37 Automation of Manufacturing Processes and Operations Chapter 38 Computer-aided ManufacturingChapter 39 Computer-integrated Manufacturing SystemsChapter 40 Product Design and Manufacturing in a Competitive Environment.

from IIT (1999) and the Albert Easton White Outstanding Teacher Award from
ASM International (2000) the SME Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer
Award for 2002 was named after him.
Steven R. Schmid is an associate professor in the Department of Aerospace and
Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, where he teaches and conducts
research in the general areas of manufacturing, machine design and tribology.
He received his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the Illinois Institute
of Technology (with Honors) and master’s and Ph.D. degrees, both in mechanical
engineering, from North-western University. He has received numerous awards,
including the John T. Parsons Award from SME (2000), the Newkirk Award from
ASME (2000), the Kaneb Center Teaching Award (2000 and 2003) and the Ruth
