Principles of Metal Manufacturing Processes

by Jonathan Beddoes, M.J. Bibby

Metals are still the most widely used structural materials in the manufacture of products and structures. Their properties are extremely dependent on the processes they undergo to form the final product. Successful manufacturing therefore depends on a detailed knowledge of the processing of the materials involved. This highly illustrated book provides that knowledge.

Metal processing is a technical subject requiring a quantitative approach. This book illustrates this approach with real case studies derived from industry.

I'm well-versed in metal additive manufacturing , as I've worked with Tech Met. I have also personally been involved in post-processing parts printed on a 3D printer from titanium, and I was surprised at how well Tech Met understands additive technologies. You should take a look at their website and you'll learn everything about post-processing and how to remove powder residue, improve the surface, and ensure accuracy. This really helps in planning the production process: you know that a part can not only be printed, but also perfected without compromising strength.
