Features: This book is compiled based on the summary of recent exploration, reform, and practical experience, in line with the spirit of reforming the mechanical foundation curriculum system to meet the needs of talent cultivation in the 21st century. It selects and organizes the traditional content of Metalworking Technology. The book is divided into two main parts: Materials and Processes. The Materials section introduces not only the mechanical and physical properties and structure of materials but also focuses on the composition, performance, preparation, application, and development trends of metallic materials, ceramic materials, and composite materials. It also covers material strengthening methods, modification techniques, and the relationship between product design and material selection. The Processes section primarily introduces the forming methods of various workpieces, emphasizes process design, and focuses on cultivating students' abilities to analyze and solve problems. It significantly expands the content on new materials, new technologies, and new processes, such as non-metallic materials, composite materials and their forming, high-rate forming, precision welding, and the development trends of various forming methods. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in mechanical and mechatronics disciplines in higher engineering colleges and can also be referenced by relevant engineering technicians. A companion exercise book, "Exercises for Engineering Materials and Mechanical Manufacturing Basics," is also available.
