Manufacturing Processes • Categories of processing methods: • Casting • Forming and shaping • Machining • Joining • Finishing
Casting • Sand Casting: • Engine blocks, cylinder heads, pump housings. • Shell mold casting: • Gear housings, connecting rods. • Expandable pattern casting: • Crankshafts, brake components, machine bases. • Vacuum casting, Die casting, Slush casting……
Casting • Plaster mold Casting: (High dimensional accuracy) • Locks, gears, valves, toolings. • Ceramic mold Casting: (High dimensional accuracy) • Impellers, cutters for machining, dies for metalworking. • Investment Casting: (High dimensional accuracy) • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX8wGUPz1w&feature=related
Forming Changing the shape of an existing solid body • Rolling: • plates ( 5 to 12 in thk), sheets (upto 6 mm thk) • threads, seamless tubes and pipes. • Forging: • Aircraft landing gear, jet engine shafts, • structural components.
Forming • Extrusion and Drawing: • door and window frames, tubing, railings • rods, shafts, wires. • Sheet metal forming: • 1. Shearing • 2. Bending • metal desks, cabinets, car bodies, fuselage • beverage cans.

Machining • Cutting: Turning, Shaping, Milling, Drilling. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=874DNEvCc-c • Abrasive: Grinding, Honing, Lapping, Buffing, • Polishing. • Non-traditional: Electrochemical machining, • laser beam machining.
Joining / Fabrication • Welding : • Fusion welding: Plasma Arc, Electron beam. • Solid State: Resistance welding. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2n_kpLXwY8 • Brazing and Soldering • Adhesive bonding • Mechanical fastening
Manufacturing Processes • Selecting a Manufacturing Process depends on: • Size • Thickness • Shape Complexity • Material • Cost
DFM considerations Save material in Stamping from stock sheet metal
DFM considerations Save material in Stamping from stock sheet metal Uniform cooling when heat treating
DFM considerations Save material in Stamping from stock sheet metal Uniform cooling when heat treating Overcome practical difficulty in grinding near a corner
DFM considerations Save material in Stamping from stock sheet metal Uniform cooling when heat treating Overcome practical difficulty in grinding near a corner Eliminate expensive reinforced weld
DFM considerations Avoid flat bottom holes, give room for tool clearance and chips
DFM considerations Avoid flat bottom holes, give room for tool clearance and chips Limit machining operations
DFM considerations Avoid flat bottom holes, give room for tool clearance and chips Limit machining operations Sharp corners decrease the strength
Sheet Metal Flat pattern Bend Final product Compresses on the Inside, Stretches on the outside Calculating length of Flattened pattern: Bend Allowance. Empirical formula: BA = (0.017453 R + 0.0078 T) N Where R = radius of bend T = metal thickness N = number of degrees of bend
Sheet Metal Calculate Bend Allowance for R = 0.075 inch Thickness T = 0.125 inch Angle N = 90 BA = (0.017453 x 0.075 + 0.0078 x 0.125 ) 90 = 0.20555775 0.2056 in.
