    Manufacturing Engineering: Basics of Manufacturing Engineering

     Manufacturing can be defined as the conversion of raw


    materials into useful articles by meas of physical labour or the
    use of power driven machinery.
     Manufacturing as we understand it today began in what is
    called the industrial revolution.

    Manufacturing is a commercial activity and exists for two purposes:


     To create wealth
    ● There is no point in investing your money or other people’s
    money in a manufacturing plant unless the return on the
    investment is substantially better than the interest that
    your money could earn in a savings account

     To satisfy a demand
    ● There is no point in manufacturing a product for which
    there is no market.
    ● Even if there is a market (a demand), there is no point in
    manufacturing a product to satisfy that demand unless that
    product can be sold at a profit.

    CLASSIFICATION Of MANUFACTURING PROCESSES


    MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
    1. Primary Shaping or Forming Processes
    - Casting
    - Powder Metallurgy
    - Plastic technology

    Primary shaping or forming is manufacturing of a solid


    body from a molten or gaseous state or form an amorphous
    material.
    Amorphous materials are gases, liquids, powders, fibers,
    chips, melts and like.
    A primary shaping or forming tool contains a hollow space,
    which, with the allowance for contraction usually corresponds
    to the form of the product.
    Here, cohesion is normally created among particles
    2. Deforming Processes
    - Forging - Rotary swaging
    - Extrusion - Thread rolling
    - Rolling - Explosive forming
    - Sheet metal working -Electromagnetic forming

    Deforming processes make use of suitable stresses like


    compression, tension, shear or combined stress to cause plastic
    deformation of the materials to produce required shapes
    without hanging its mass or material composition.
    In forming, no material is removed, they are deformed and
    displaced.

    3. Machining/Removing Processes
    - Turning - Grinding
    - Drilling - ECM
    - Milling - Shaping and Planning
    - EDM - Ultrasonic machining

    The principle used in all machining processes is to generate


    the surface required by providing suitable relative motions
    between the work piece and the tool.
    In this processes material removed from the unwanted
    regions of the input material.
    In this, work material is subjected to a lower stress as
    compared to forming processes.

    4. Joining Processes
    - Pressure welding - Resistance welding
    - Diffusion welding - Explosive welding
    - Brazing - Soldering

    In this process two or more pieces of metal parts are united


    together to make sub-assembly or final product.
    The joining process can be carried out by fusing, pressing,
    rubbing, riveting or any other means of assembling.
    5. Surface Finishing Processes
    - Plastic coating - Honing
    - Metallic coating - Tumbling
    - Organic finishes - Electro-plating
    - Inorganic finishes - Lapping
    - Anodizing - Sanding
    - Buffing

    These processes re utilized to provide intended surface


    finish on the metal surface of a job.
    By imparting a surface finishing process, dimension of the
    part is not changed functionally either a very negligible amount
    of metal is removed from or certain material is added to the
    surface of the job.
    Surface cleaning process is also accepted as a surface
    finishing process.

    6. Material Properties Modification Processes


    - Heat and surface treatment
    - Annealing
    - Stress relieving

    In this type of process, material properties of a work piece


    is changed in order to achieve desirable characteristics without
    changing the shape.
