Study Notes
Manufacturing Technology - GE 102
- Manufacturing is the process of converting raw materials into products using various processes, equipment, operations, and manpower according to a detailed plan.
- Manufacturing includes design, selection of raw materials, and the sequence of processes to create a product.
- Products are made through either shaping metal (casting/forming), joining metal (welding), or removing material (machining).
Materials in Manufacturing
- Materials used in manufacturing include metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites made from combinations of these.
- A Venn diagram illustrates the overlapping relationships between these materials.
Table of Contents
- The course covers Engineering Materials, Casting Processes, Sheet-Metal Operations, Measuring Equipment, Machining Processes, Plastic Forming Processes, Joining of Metals, and Carpentry.
Workshop Training
- Workshop 1: Turning
- Workshop 2: Welding
- Workshop 3: Casting
- Workshop 4: Sheet-Metal
- Workshop 5: Carpentry
Engineering Materials
- Engineering materials are materials used in engineering, including natural resources like water and sand and refined materials which need processing.
- Some are used alone (e.g., wood, leather); others are combined to create new materials with unique properties (e.g., adding chromium to steel to increase corrosion resistance).
Classification of Engineering Materials
- Engineering materials are classified into metallic and non-metallic.
- Metallic materials are subdivided into ferrous (iron-based) and non-ferrous (not iron-based).
- Ferrous metals include pig iron, cast iron, steels (plain carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, etc.)
- Non-ferrous metals include aluminum, copper, lead, tin, silver, brass, gold, and zinc.
- Non-metallic materials include organic materials (paper, plastics, leather, wood, and ceramics), and inorganic materials (glass and graphite).
Mechanical Properties of Materials
- Elasticity: Ability to recover original shape and volume after load removal.
- Plasticity: Ability to change shape and keep the new shape after load removal.
- Ductility: Ability to deform (elongate) in tension without failure.
- Malleability: Ability to change shape under pressure (compressive load) without failure.
- Brittleness: Ability to fail without a noticeable change in shape/dimensions.
- Hardness: Resistance to penetration by another harder body.
- Stiffness: Resistance to shape change (measured by Young's modulus).
- Strength: Ability to resist stresses (tensile, compressive, bending, shearing, or torsion) under different conditions.
- Toughness: Ability to resist dynamic load (resistance to shocks) or absorb energy before fracturing.
Terminology
- Stress: Measure of external force over a cross-sectional area.
- Engineering Strain: Measure of deformation in relation to original length.
Testing Metals
- Metals are tested to ensure quality, test properties, prevent failures in use, and to make informed choices.
Tensile Test
- A static mechanical test to determine strength and plasticity, especially its ductility.
- Uses a test specimen and machine to apply a controlled tensile force.
Hardness Test
- A static test of material's resistance to penetration by a harder body (using Brinell, Rockwell, and Vickers methods).
Impact Test
- Measures the ability to resist high-rate loading (impact energy or toughness).
- Common methods include Charpy and Izod tests.
Fatigue Test
- Characterizes a metal's resistance to failure from repeated reversing stresses (fatigue limit).
- The test determines the maximum stress a material can withstand repeatedly over a specified number of loading cycles.
Effect of Temperature
- Temperature significantly influences impact energy, transforming materials from ductile to brittle behaviors at transition temperatures.
