Production Technology is meant for the students of B.Tech in Mechanical, Production and Manufacturing Engineering. It deals with the fundamental concepts of Foundry, Forming and Welding Technologies. The book covers both theoretical and analytical concepts. The analytical concepts are introduced beginning from the fundamentals for easy comprehension. Several worked out examples, review and objective type questions are provided at the end of each chapter. More than 150 line sketches are included, which are self-explanatory and easy to reproduce in the examination. The second edition consists of revision and enrichment of contents in chapters: Fundamentals of metal casting, molding and casting processes and welding processes. A chapter new Foundry Mechanization is also Included.
