Wörterbuch der Fertigungstechnik. Dictionary of Production Engineering. Dictionnaire des Techniques de Production Mécanique Vol.I/2

This part of a tri-lingual edition of the CIRP Dictionary of Production Engineering was compiled under the auspices of the International Institution of Production Engineering Research (C.I.R.P.) headquartered in Paris.
Volumes I.1 and I.2 contain about 3400 terms for metal forming. They include: General terms of metal forming; Hot and die forging; Cold and warm forging and sheet metal working.
Precise definitions are provided for nearly all terms, illustrations are included where needed. In addition, reference is made to national and international standards. Alphabetical indices for each of the three languages provide easy access to the terms.

CIRP was founded in 1951 with the aim to address scientifically, through international co-operation, issues related to modern production science and technology. The International Academy for Production Engineering takes its abbreviated name from the French acronym of College International pour la Recherche en Productique (CIRP) and includes ca. 550 members from 41 countries. The number of members is intentionally kept limited, so as to facilitate informal scientific information exchange and personal contacts.
