Automotive Technology
By:"Jason"
Published on 2009-02 by iUniverse

Back in the 80s, it was not trendy or sexy to be interested in something that required a lot of painstaking work, work which often resulted in cuts, bruises, filthy hands, filthy arms, and a filthy face. You can thank me, my two buddies from high school, and the rest of us buffoons that paved the way for all of the wonderful automotive nonsense that permeates every aspect of American society today. You're welcome! I had just passed the point of no return. Any time before that, I could have made the decision to trust others with my vehicles, and join the rest of the victims in facing whatever consequences arose from being mechanically ignorant.' But my fate lay upon a different path. Celestial forces beyond my control were shaping my destiny. I had made the decision, without realizing it, to become a full fledged, wrench turning, gear headed grease monkey. There was no turning back. Automotive engineers have a philosophy: If it works when it leaves the factory, it ain't my problem. Remember this term: Fast Food Automotive!

Published on 2014-01-01 by NIIR PROJECT CONSULTANCY SERVICES

The Complete Book on Production of Automobile Components & Allied Products (Engine Parts, Piston, Pin, Piston Ring, Valve, Control Cable, Engine Mounting, Auto Lock, Disc Brake, Drum, Gear, Leaf Spring, Shock Absorber, Silencer, Chain, Cylinder Block, Chassis, Battery, Tyre & Flaps) The rapid urbanization, coupled with an overwhelming growth in the middle class population, has created a market that is extremely conducive for the automobile industry to flourish. It is inferred from the demand, the investment in the automobile industry is estimated at over hundredths of billions in the vehicles and auto components segment. The auto market is thought to be made primarily of automakers, but auto parts makes up another lucrative sector of the market. The major areas of auto parts manufacturing are: Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) - The big auto manufacturers do produce some of their own parts, but they can't produce every part and component that goes into a new vehicle; Replacement Parts Production and Distribution - These are the parts that are replaced after the purchase of a vehicle. The book provides a characterization of vehicles, including structure, load, fuel used, requirement of various components, fabrication and so on. It will prove to be a layman\u0092s guide and is highly recommended to entrepreneurs, existing units who wants to diversify in production of automobile and allied products, research centers, professionals and libraries, as it contains information related to manufacturing of integral parts of an automobile and practices followed in the finishing of the products. The topics covered in the book are: Classification of vehicles on the basis of load, fuel used and their parts; Material used in the manufacturing of automobile (Metals, Alloys, Polymers etc.); Technology used; Use of Aluminium in Automobiles; Use of Plastics in Automobiles; Manufacturing practices for Engine Parts(Auto Piston, Pins, Piston ring, Lead Storage Battery, Valve & Valve Seat, Automobile Silencer, Automobile Chain, Cylinder Block, Automobile Control Cable, Engine Mounting PAD, Auto Locks etc.); Manufacturing of Automobile Chassis, Disc Brake, Brake Drum, Gear, Gear Blank, Leaf Spring, Shock Absorbers, Automobile Tyres; Heat Treatment System for Automobile Parts; Forging Technology (Open Die Forging Process, Close Die Forging Process, Designing of forged parts) and Painting Technology(Conversion Coating, NAD Finishes, Aluminium Flake Orientation, Opacity, Gloss, Electro Powder Coating, Spot Repair, Electrostatic Spray etc.) for automobile parts; Scab Corrosion Test, Peel Resistance.
