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.
