Drawing Interpretation

Drawing Interpretation is to identify the relevant


drawing information that helps the process planner by
identifying the critical processing factors.
• Appropriate supplementary information from the drawing to
aid the process planning
• Identify and interpret dimensional information from the
drawing;
The process plan and these must be identified and used
accordingly. These include:
• Material and specification
• Notes on special material treatments
• Notes on surface finish
• General tolerances
• Keys to geometrical tolerances
• Notes on equivalent parts
• Notes on screw thread forms
• Tool references
• Gauge references
• Quantity to be produced
• Parts list (in the case of assembly drawings)
• Dimensions tolerance
• Shaft basis system
• Hole basis system
• Fit
• Clearance fit
• Transition fit
• Interference fit

• Geometrical tolerancing
• Straightness
• Flatness
• Roundness
• angularity
• Surface finish
• Form error
• Roughness
• Waviness
MATERIAL SELECTION AND EVALUATION
• To identify and describe the common materials used for
manufacture
• To identify and describe the main properties of materials
• To identify and describe common material selection
processes
• To identify and describe the common processes used for
manufacture
• To carry out an overall evaluation of the selection of
materials for manufacture in terms of processes
• select suitable processes for a given part/product based
on the critical
• Processing factors identified during the drawing
interpretation.
Classification of Material for manufacture
Classification for various ferrous alloys
Classification of polymers
Classification of composites
Material selection Methods
Material selection Methods
Several methods have been developed for
material selection problems, some not only applicable to
material selection but also any design selection
procedure. Although no one method is accepted as the
standard approach, there are a number of commonly
used methods.
• selection with computer-aided databases;
• performance indices;
• decision matrices;
• selection with expert systems;
• value analysis (particularly for materials substitution);
• failure analysis;
• cost-benefit analysis.
Material evaluation method

one of the prime considerations for the


manufacturing engineer or process planner is the shapes
or features material property, manufacturing are required.
Classification of manufacturing process
the selection of a suitable material or materials. The material
itself will limit the manufacturing processes that can be used, as not all
materials are suitable for all processes. For example, when considering
joining processes, cast iron cannot be used for resistance welding.
However, there are a number of factors common to both the material
and process selection decisions:
 the number of components to be made;
 the component size;
 the component weight;
 the precision required;
 the surface finish and appearance required.

All of these factors have already been considered at the


material evaluation stage. However, In terms of the material evaluation
for process planning, the focus will be firmly on 'manufacturability' or
'processability', as it is also known. This is defined as the ability of a
material to be worked or shaped into the finished component (Farag,
1979) and is sometimes referred to as 'workability'.
Thus terms such as 'weldability', 'castability', 'formability',
'machinability' are used to describe how easily the material can be used
for specific processes. The workability will also have a significant
influence on the quality of the part
