"Materials Processing and Manufacturing Science focuses on the interrelationship between the 'structure and behavior of materials' (materials science), techniques of 'how to make things' (manufacturing technology), and the 'theory of how things are made'(processing science). It emphasizes a fundamental understanding of a range of processes used in manufacturing and it shows how sometimes different manufacturing techniques share common process materials mechanics - helping to create better manufacturing design strategies.

Not only will this book help engineers, scientists, and manufacturers to better understand the essential relationship between materials and their properties and how these affect the choice of various common manufacturing processes, it will also help these readers to better adapt existing manufacturing techniques to new, innovative materials as they are developed and applied to new and existing products."--Jacket.
