This book is one of the “serial bilingual textbooks of the mechanical engineering program”. The course of “Fundamentals of Machine Manufacturing Technology” is the necessary and main professional fundamental module subject required for training modern senior mechanical manufacturing professions and management talents. This book has covered the basic knowledge,theory and skill of the machine manufacturing technology. Written under the guideline of “emphasize the foundation,lower the barycentre,expand the knowledge,cut down the lecture hour,refine the content and widen the adaptability”,it has mixed and optimized the knowledge of the original six courses,including Metal Cutting Theory and Cutting Tool,Machine Tool and Fixture,and Mechanical Manufacturing Process. In this book,the metal cutting theory has been treated as the foundation,the manufacturing Process. In this book,the metal cutting theory has been treated as the foundation,the manufacturing process has played the rule of the main clue,and the knowledge of the process equipment and machine tool has also been concerned. The authors have paid much attention to the new development of the theory and technology in this subject,and made an introduction to the non-conventional machining technology and modern manufacturing technology.
This book has been written for those who are intended to develop bilingual teaching for the students in mechanical engineering program. A companion Chinese textbook with the similar content and structure,entitled as Fundamentals of Machine Manufacturing Technology,composed by Zeng Zhixin,Ly Ming,published by Wuhan University of Technology Press,awarded as 21th century oriented series,can be used as the Chinese reference in teaching.
This book can be used as the professional textbook of mechanical engineering
and similar mechanical engineering for universities and colleges,it can also be used as a reference for engineers or technicians who are engaged in mechanical manufacturing technology or engineering management.
