Manufacturing engineering is the backbone of modern industrial civilization. It transforms raw materials into finished, functional products. For engineering students, professionals, and competitive exam aspirants, stands as one of the most authoritative reference books.

In the world of mechanical and production engineering, few textbooks have achieved the cult status of . For decades, this book has served as the backbone for undergraduate students, diploma holders, and even competitive exam aspirants in India and abroad.

With over 35 years of teaching experience, Rajput has served as Principal of the Punjab College of Information Technology and Thapar Polytechnic. He is the author of several highly respected books on Mechanical and Electrical Engineering subjects, and his accolades include the Best Teacher (Academic) Award, the Jawahar Lal Nehru Memorial Gold Medal, and the Distinguished Author Award.

Understanding the properties of molding sand—such as permeability, cohesiveness, and refractoriness—is essential for defect-free castings. Cores are used to create internal cavities.

Covers hot and cold working, rolling, forging, extrusion, and drawing processes.

Rajput explains Merchant’s circle diagram, tool life, and chip formation. Machining relies on the relative motion between the tool and the workpiece. Chips generally fall into three categories:

An invaluable resource for exams like GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering), Engineering Services Examination (ESE/IES), and various public sector undertaking (PSU) entry tests.

Tensile strength, hardness, toughness, ductility, malleability, and elasticity.

The text is known for its systematic presentation and simple language, typically spanning around 900 to 1,000 pages across roughly 25–26 chapters Core Topics Covered

The physics and engineering principles behind the action.

Melts and vaporizes precise areas using a highly focused, coherent beam of light.

Inserting sand or metal cores to create internal hollow cavities.

Explains spot, seam, and projection welding mechanisms.
