text/manual advice on materials/mechanical technology

[antonio_sc]

Good morning to all

I would need a good text/manual that deals with the materials commonly used in the industrial field (steel, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, plastic materials etc.) and mechanical processes/works (tornitura,fresatura,tranciatura,imbutitura,piegatura ..ecc.) I already have university reference texts but have a very theoretical and very little practical approach on the subject. Some of you have any advice on this?

thanks to all in advance:redface:

with regard to practical materials there is little or nothing, while for mechanical technology you can find something on the texts a little dated (but well done), like:
- moulds and sheet metal processing
- the workshop technician
- turning and milling machine

Hello, first of all thank you for the answer... I wanted to ask you. .an old school engineer told me that maybe he would be able to find an old manual for experts ... mechanical technology (see gage) seems to me to be called...made in 3 volumes...why do you know it?

p.s. strangely I find some books dated made much better than many other new releases:tongue:

It is not strange that ancient manuals are well done. Today's manuals are made to sell and always write the same things, never one who takes a step forward. instead some detailed information is found in the old manuals. . Or you have to go see the norm... what you're talking about.
so many things are dictated by experience and good books with practical approach are not there.

Unfortunately I don't know the volumes you mentioned, but if it is an old manual I think it is worth consulting it, in fact the books dated, in my opinion, remain among the best as they were detailed and rich in practical information.

Thank you very much.
