Manufacturing

 The word manufacture is derived from two Latin words, manus


(hand) and factus (make); the combination means made by hand.
 The English word manufacture is several centuries old, and
‘‘made by hand’’
 Manufacturing is the process of converting raw materials into
products.
WHY STUDY
MANUFACTURING PROCESSES………..
 The designer and the drafter must have a working knowledge of the
various processes that could produce a part in order to: lower cost and
reduce production time.
What is Manufacturing?
 Manufacturing is the application of physical and chemical processes to alter the geometry,
properties, and appearance of a starting material to make parts or products for a given
application
 When iron ore is converted into steel, value is added.
 When sand is transformed into glass, value is added.
 When petroleum is refined into plastic, value is added.
 When plastic is molded into the complex geometry of a patio chair, it is made even more
valuable.
Purpose of Manufacturing
 Manufacturing is the transformation of materials into items of
greater value by means of one or more processing and/or
assembly operations
Classification of manufacturing processes.
(1) Processing operations. A processing operation
transforms a work material from one state of completion
to a more advanced state.

(2)Assembly operation joins two or more components to


create a new entity, called an assembly, subassembly
PROCESSING OPERATIONS
 A processing operation uses energy to alter a workpart’s shape, physical properties, or
appearance to add value to the material.

 The forms of energy include mechanical, thermal, electrical, and chemical.

 The energy is applied in a controlled way by means of machinery and tooling.

 Human energy may also be required, but the human workers are generally employed to
control the machines.
Three categories of processing operations:
1. Shaping operations - alter the geometry of the starting work material
2. Property-enhancing operations - improve physical properties of the material without
changing its shape
3. Surface processing operations - clean, treat, coat, or deposit material onto the exterior
surface of the work
Shaping
 1. Solidification Processes - starting material is a heated liquid that solidifies to
form part geometry

2. Deformation Processes - starting material is a ductile solid


that is deformed
Material removal processes
 Excess material removed from the starting workpiece so what remains is the desired
geometry
 Examples: machining such as turning, drilling, and milling; also grinding and
nontraditional processes
 It is desirable to minimize waste and scrap in converting a starting workpart into its
 subsequent geometry.
Property-Enhancing Processes
 Performed to improve mechanical or physical properties of the work material

 Part shape is not altered, except unintentionally

 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

 Examples:

Heat treatment of metals and glasses


Surface Processing
1. Cleaning - To remove dirt, oil, and other contaminants from the surface

2. Surface treatments - Sand blasting, and physical processes like diffusion

3. Coating and thin film deposition - coating exterior surface of the workpart
Assembly Operations
 Two or more separate parts are joined to form a new entity

 Types of assembly operations:

1. Joining processes – create a permanent joint.


• Examples: welding, brazing, soldering, and adhesive bonding

2. Mechanical assembly – fastening by mechanical methods

• Examples: use of screws, bolts, nuts, other threaded fasteners; press


fitting, expansion fits

• Techniques form a more permanent connection; these include rivets,


press fitting, and expansion fits.
