Features: This book is one of the achievements of the teaching reform project of the Hubei Provincial Department of Education and Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2003. According to the requirements proposed by the research team—“strengthening the foundation, emphasizing practice, broadening the scope of the major, and cultivating innovative ability"—significant reforms were made to the teaching content of the original courses “Fundamentals of Material Forming Processes” and “Fundamentals of Mechanical Manufacturing Technology.” In line with the new curriculum system for the mechanical major, these two courses were merged into “Fundamentals of Mechanical Manufacturing Processes.” From the perspective of cultivating students' engineering awareness, basic process skills, and comprehensive practical abilities, a new curriculum system and teaching content were organized. This book primarily discusses the basic principles, methods, and processes of mechanical manufacturing, the general principles and steps of part manufacturing process design, the structural processability of parts, the formulation of process codes, and modern engineering technologies and methods. The learning of mechanical manufacturing processes is divided into seven major parts: casting processes, forging and pressing processes, welding processes, fundamentals of machining processes, surface processing methods, special machining and material forming, and mechanical manufacturing process codes. In addition to the content on basic process principles and methods, this book highlights the highly mechanized and automated process technologies widely used in industrial production. It integrates the formulation of manufacturing process codes and the teaching of computer numerical control (CNC) machining. To facilitate student learning, the book is equipped with corresponding review and reflection questions for students to review the teaching content. This book is one of the series textbooks for the mechanical major platform courses and serves as an introductory textbook for cultivating talents with the ability to analyze and solve engineering problems, comprehensive manufacturing process capabilities, and modern manufacturing technology skills. It can be used as a textbook for “Fundamentals of Mechanical Manufacturing Processes” or “Metalworking Technology” courses in undergraduate and junior college majors related to mechanical engineering and near-mechanical fields, as well as a reference book for relevant readers.
