The Handbook of Manufacturing Technology is the second, completely revised edition of the multi-volume work published by Carl Hanser Verlag between 1979 and 1994. It remains an unmatched reference work in terms of its breadth and depth of topics for manufacturing engineers. This tradition continues in the new edition. The volume on forming includes the plastic-mechanical and materials science fundamentals of the field, as well as all important manufacturing processes in forming technology, such as rolling, bending, forging, extrusion, and cutting. It also addresses cross-process topics such as simulation, flow curves, and tribology.
