Basic Manufacturing Processes

Module I Introduction

Department of Mechanical Engineering
School of Engineering

1
Manufacturing-
to make a product suitable to use
Manufacturing
• Manufacturing: to make or process a raw material into a
finished product, esp. at industrial scale
• Variety of equipment are employed following series of steps
to come up with desired product
• Manufacturing- creates some product that has useful form
• Form is predetermined, with specific geometry
• All geometry has certain tolerance to meet, to be considered
acceptable
• Tolerance outlines the geometric accuracy that must be
achieved in manufacturing process

3
Process
• A series of operation to create specified product
• Process of converting material into product
• Manufacturing processes (MP) are carried out in specific shop
called Job Shops
• Job shops are for specific manufacturing processes with
related machines and machine tools

Manufacturing business
• Production of merchandise for use or sale
• Using labor and machine, tools
• Process or set of production order
• Raw material to finished goods
• Simple to complex
• Household appliances to space techs
• Directed towards mass production
• Planned economy through massive sale
• Goal of all manufacturing processes:
– Meeting performance requirement like tolerance, weight,
property of material used
– Meeting cost of production requirement
– Ability to reproduce quality in mass production
– Maintain uniform material property throughout the
component

Product creation cycle

Design Material Selection Process Selection

Feedback Inspection Manufacture

• A constant feedback must exist between manufacturing


process and process/material optimization

7
Basic Classification of MP
• Primary Shaping Processes
• Secondary Machining Processes
• Forming/deforming Processes
• Joining Processes
• Surface Finishing Processes
• Material properties modification processes

8
(Primary) Shaping Processes
• remelting of ingots (available in the market) in cupola or some
foundry furnace
• molten metal is poured into the moulds to obtain the casting
• sometimes, ingots are converted into useable form by forging
or other primary processes viz.

(a) Casting (b) Forging (c) Smithy (d) Drawing


(e) Rolling (f) Bending (g) Extruding (h) Squeezing
(i) Shearing (j) Crushing (k) Spinning (l) Piercing
(m) Forming (n) Embossing

Machining Process
• machining operations performed on various machine tools
like lathe, shaper, milling machines
• machining processes are required to make complex shapes,
profiles, contours, etc

• different machining operations are:


shaping, turning, milling, drilling, grinding, boring, threading, slotting,
planing, gear cutting, knurling, sawing, broaching, hobbing

13
Machining in Lathe
15
Drilling – machining process
Assembly of Section 41 of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner
Metal forming Processes
• Encompasses wide variety of processes that make use of
suitable force, pressure, stress or combination to cause
permanent deformation of raw materials into required shape

• Mechanical working processes: hot working, cold working

18
Metal forming contd...
• Hot working:
– Forging, rolling, spinning, extrusion

• Cold working:
– Cold forging, cold rolling, wire drawing, coining, squeezing

• No material is removed, but displaced, deformed to produce


required shape
• Can produce directly usable articles like kitchen utensils,
tubes, bottles, etc

19

21
Joining Processes
• used for joining two or more metal pieces of metal parts

• used to join two or more work-parts either temporarily or


permanently

• various joining processes are:


Welding, soldering, brazing, riveting, screwing, adhesive joining, sintering,
pressing, coupling key and cotter joints, nut and bolt joints

26
Surface Finishing Processes
• used to provide good surface finish to the metal surface of the
processed product
• either a negligible amount of material is removed or a small
amount of material is added to the surface of the product

• various surface finishing processes are:


sand blasting, buffing, lapping, belt grinding, polishing, honing,
electroplating, metal spraying, anodizing, pickling, hot dipping,
galvanizing, painting

27
Grinding- surface finishing processes
Processes affecting
change in material properties
• used to impart specific properties to the metal parts for
specific properties of use

• processes used for this purpose are:


Annealing, hardening, tempering, age hardening, shot peening, grain
refining, homogenizing
