Products and Manufacturing
Manufacturing Process
A sequence of operations and processes designed to create a specific product
The process of turning materials into a product

Basic Manufacturing Processes
Casting and Foundry
Forming or Metalworking
Machining
Joining and Assembly
Other
Casting and Foundry Processes
In one step raw materials are transformed into a desirable shape
Parts require finishing processes
Excess material is recyclable

Basic Casting Process
A mold is created – A cavity that holds the molten material in a desired shape until it is solidified Multiple-use mold
Single-use molds
Material is heated to a specified temperature
Molten material is poured into a mold cavity
Molten material solidifies into the shape of the cavity
Casting or mold is removed
Casting is cleaned, finished, and inspected
Utilizes material that has been cast
Modify the shape, size, and physical properties of the material
Hot and cold forming
Forming and Metalworking Processes

Forming and Metalworking Processes
Rolling – Material passes through a series of rollers, reducing its thickness with each pass
Forging – Material is shaped by the controlled application of force (blacksmith)
Wire, rod, and tube drawing – Material is pulled through a die to produce a uniformed cross section
Extrusion – Material is compressed and forced through a die to produce a uniformed cross section
Forming and Metalworking Processes

Cold forming and forging – Slugs of material are squeezed into dies
Forming and Metalworking Processes
Machining Processes
Controlled removal of material from a part to create a specific shape or surface finish
Cutting element is used
Movement must exist between the part and cutting element

Turning ProcessesOperations that create cylindrical parts
Work piece rotates as cutting tool is fed into the work

Turning ProcessesLathes and turning centers
Processes include: Straight, taper, contour turning, facing, forming, necking, parting, boring, threading, and knurling

Milling Processes
Operations that create flat or curved surfaces by progressively removing material
Cutting tools rotate as the work piece is secured and fed into the tool
Machining Processes
Milling Processes
Mills – Vertical and horizontal
Processes include: Surfacing, shaping, forming, slotting, T-slotting, angle, straddle, dovetailing, and slab milling
Machining Processes
Drilling ProcessesOperations that create holes
Cutting tools rotate and are fed into nonmoving secured work pieces
Machining Processes
Drilling ProcessesDrilling and boring machines
Processes include: Drilling, counter drilling, step drilling, boring, counter boring, countersinking, reaming, spot facing, and tapping
Machining Processes
Shearing ProcessesOperations that break unwanted material away from the part
A material is placed between a stationary and movable surface. The movable surface (blade, die, or punch) applies a force to the part that shears away the unwanted material.
Machining Processes
Automated hole punch, squaring shear, and rotary cutter
Processes include: Shearing, blanking, cutoff, and parting; punching, perforating, and slotting; notching, lacing, and trimming
Shearing ProcessesMachining Processes
Abrasive Machining ProcessesOperations in which small particles of materials (abrasives) remove small chips of material upon contact
Drum, disc, and belt sanders; surface, vertical and horizontal spindle; disc grinders; media blaster; tumblers
Machining Processes
Thermal and Chemical ProcessesOperations that cut and shape materials through chemical means
No mechanical force is used
Machining Processes
Electrical discharge, electrochemical, chemical, laser, electron beam, flame cutting, and plasma-arc cutting
Processes include: Grinding, sawing, cutting, machining, milling, blanking, and etching
Heat Treating Processes
Controlled heating and cooling of a material to alter its properties while maintaining its shape
Properties include: Strength, toughness, machinability, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance
90% of heat treating is preformed on steel and other ferrous metals
Heat Treating Processes
To aid in the manufacturing process, materials can be treated to be weak and ductile and then can be re-treated to provide high strength.
Can also occur incidentally during the manufacturing process
Joining and Assembly Processes
Can you think of a product with only one part?
Most products consist of multiple parts that are assembled to form a finished product.
Typical assembly processes include: Mechanical fastening; soldering and brazing, welding; adhesive bonding
Joining and Assembly ProcessesMechanical Fastening
Use physical force to hold parts together
Mechanical fasteners or part design
Screws, bolts, nails, rivets, cotter pins, retaining clips, and edge design

Joining and Assembly ProcessesWelding
Operations that use heat, pressure, or both to permanently join parts
Gas, arc, stud, spot, forge, roll laminating, resistance, and induction welding

Joining and Assembly ProcessesAdhesive bonding
Bonding of adjoining surfaces by filling the gap between each surface with a bonding material
Glue, cement, thermoplastic, thermosetting, and elastomers

Joining and Assembly ProcessesSoldering and Brazing
Operation in which metal surfaces are bonded together by an alloy
Heated molten alloy flows between the adjoining surfaces
When the heat is removed, the molten metal solidifies and the metal surfaces are bonded

Rapid PrototypingAdditive process
Parts are produced directly from software applications
Common rapid prototyping systems include: stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), fused deposition modeling (FDM), laminated object manufacturing (LOM), digital light processing (DLP)
Rapid Prototyping
Finished parts can be field tested depending upon building material
Created parts can be used to create a mold
Modifications to design can be implemented quickly
Other Manufacturing Processes

Transportation

Material-Specific Manufacturing Processes
Plastic Processes

Plastics Manufacturing Processes
A rotating screw forces plastic through a heating chamber and then through a heated die
Produces long plastic parts with uniform cross sections
Extrusion
Heated plastic is forced by a movable plunger through a nozzle and then into a mold. The material fills the mold and then is cooled.
Most widely used high-volume production process
Plastics Manufacturing ProcessesInjection Molding
Plastic is melted and poured into a mold – No pressure or fillers are required.
Plastics Manufacturing ProcessesCasting
A closed mold is filled with a predetermined amount of plastic. The mold is heated, rotated, and then cooled to create a hollow plastic object with uniform wall thickness.
Rotational Molding
Plastics Manufacturing Processes
A solid bottom hollow tube is placed between two mold halves and heated. The heated tube is then expanded into the sides of the mold with compressed air.
Blow Molding
