While materials are involved in all manufacturing processes, certain processes focus very much on the transformation and manipulation of materials, A sampling are shown here, with links in BLC WorldCat to sample literature about them.  Note: in the Library of Congress Classification Subject Headings often list manufacturing processes as a sub-heading of a materials group or product, e.g. Ceramic Materials -- Machining or Plastics -- Molding.

Technical standards and handbooks often describe manufacturing processes in detail.
