From the Back Cover
Fifth Edition
Serope Kalpakjian and Steven R. Schmid
This new edition of Manufacturing Processes for Engineering Materials continues its tradition of balanced and comprehensive coverage of relevant engineering fundamentals, mathematical analysis, and traditional as well as advanced applications of manufacturing processes and operations. Updated and thoroughly edited for improved readability and clarity, this book is written mainly for students in mechanical, industrial, and metallurgical and materials engineering programs. The text continually emphasizes the important interactions among a wide variety of technical disciplines and the economics of manufacturing operations in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.
New and expanded topics in this edition include:
§ Communications networks
§ Design considerations in manufacturing
§ Fabrication of micromechanical and microelectromechanical devices
§ Holonic manufacturing systems
§ Incremental forming
§ Life-cycle engineering and sustainable manufacturing
§ Mechanics of polymer processing
§ Micromachining
§ Nanomanufacturing and nanomaterials
§ Rapid prototyping and rapid tooling
§ Taguchi methods
§ Web sites for information relevant to manufacturing
Numerous figures have been added or improved for enhanced graphic impact, the number of questions and problems has been increased by about twenty percent and answers to selected problems are provided, and the Bibliography at the end of each chapter has been thoroughly updated. The text now has a larger number of cross-references throughout to give students a perspective of the often complex interrelationships among materials, product design, and manufacturing processes and operations, and the numerous technical and economic factors involved in their selection.

Title: AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME
Date: Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2011
Review: Being a junior mechanical engineering student, this text is whats used for the lecture. I use this textbook a lot and it is very helpful: all of the processes are well explained, why they should/should not be used in situations. Also this book makes a good effort to take the raw material and mix with facts beyond just when to use a process to get you actually interested in manufacturing. For example how investment casting (aka lost wax process) allowed people to create intricate statues.
Every week a quiz was given and studying for an hour with the book an notes helped me ace it every time.
**This semester I had expected that manufacturing would be the driest class; in fact this is one of the classes that I most enjoyed. I'm sure it was partly due because of my professor but this book certainly didn't hurt.

Title: It can't be helped...
Date: Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2013
Review: While this book is a fantastic overview of all things materials and their many, many, many different methods of processing, the text is beyond dry when it comes to actual readability. A few weeks could have been set aside in the writing process to make the text far less formulaic and repetitive than it is currently, but that effort was obviously not made.
However, its impossible to fault a textbook for being dry, and that's the only reason the single star was docked. The descriptions of the manufacturing processes and their applications, on the other hand, were detailed and helpful, and the book is recommended in that regard.

Title: Good starter text
Date: Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2015
Review: A good first primer for the material at hand. Much of the information in this book is in regards to machining, casting, and related topics such as roughness. The rest of the topics will get a paragraph or page. If you deep information on a specific process additional texts are required.

Title: False Advertising
Date: Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2014
Review: The picture is of the English Edition. I received the international edition. False Advertising. There was also no mention of it being the international Edition in the Description. If I wanted the international Edition, I would have bought a cheaper one. I Spent more thinking I was getting what was advertised in the description and in the picture as this was what I needed for class. I paid more money for something I could have gotten for $20 because I wanted something that would best help me in class.

Title: Disorganized and Incomplete
Date: Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2012
Review: This book is very frustrating to learn from. The chapters are assembled with no rhyme or reason with completely different topics covered in the same chapter. If you are going to do the review questions, plan on getting an additional reference such as Machinery's Handbook as this text lacks the tabulated values required to do the assigned problems. There are several misprints throughout the book as well.
