Job Shop

A type of production with small lot sizes, typically under 100 units, and uses general-purpose machines like lathes, milling machines, and drill presses.

Small-Batch Production

Production involving quantities ranging from 10 to 100 units, often using similar machinery as job shops, but with the potential for some automation.

Mass Production

A type of production that uses specialized machinery for producing large quantities of identical items. This method often employs automated processes and assembly lines.

Forming and Shaping

A broad manufacturing category that involves changing the shape and size of materials through processes like rolling, forging, and extrusion.

Study Notes

Types of Production

  • Production quantity and rate are crucial economic factors in process selection
  • Production types, from least to most produced:
    • Job shops: Small lots (under 100) using general-purpose machines
    • Small-batch: 10 to 100, similar machines to job shops
    • Batch: 100 to 5000, using more advanced machinery
    • Mass Production: Over 100,000, utilizing dedicated machinery and automation

Selection of Manufacturing Processes

  • Choosing the correct manufacturing process is vital for efficiency, quality, and cost
  • Process selection depends on part geometry, tolerances, surface requirements, and workpiece material properties
  • Continuous demand for new approaches to manufacturing challenges and cost reduction exists

Types of Manufacturing Processes

  • Multiple methods may be used to manufacture parts from various materials
  • Broad categories include:
    • Casting (expendable and permanent molds)
    • Forming and Shaping (rolling, forging, extrusion, drawing, and molding)
    • Machining (turning, drilling, milling, and more specialized techniques)
    • Joining (welding, brazing, soldering, and more)
    • Finishing (honing, lapping, polishing, and plating)
    • Microfabrication/Nanofabrication (processes for very small parts)

Types of Manufacturing Processes - Specific Examples

  • Casting: Investment casting, sand casting, permanent mold casting, lost foam casting, shell mold casting, die casting, single crystal casting, ceramic mold casting, centrifugal casting, and squeeze casting
  • Forming and Shaping: Rolling (flat, shape, ring), forging (open-die, closed-die, roll), extrusion (direct, cold), drawing (direct, tube), and piercing
  • Shearing: Blanking, slitting, punching, and piercing
  • Bending and Drawing: Bending, hemming, roll forming, deep drawing, hydroforming, and stretch forming
  • Forming: Spinning, magnetic-pulse forming
  • Polymer Processing: Extrusion, injection molding, compression molding, pultrusion, blow molding, vacuum bag forming, transfer molding, thermoforming
  • Rapid Prototyping: Stereolithography, fused-deposition modeling, three-dimensional printing, and laminated-object manufacturing
  • Joining Processes: Fusion welding (shielded metal-arc, gas-metal arc, flux-cored arc, gas-tungsten arc), Other welding (friction-stir, resistance, explosion, cold), Fastening and bonding (adhesive bonding, bolted connections, rolled connections, wave soldering, brazing)
  • Machining and Finishing: Turning, drilling, milling, broaching, Wire EDM, chemical machining, laser machining, water jet machining, surface grinding, centerless grinding, lapping, and electrochemical polishing

Selection of Materials

  • Wide variety of materials are now available, each with unique properties, advantages, limitations, and costs
  • Material selection often involves consultation with material engineers
  • Trends in materials substitution are driven by technological and economic factors

Properties of Materials

  • Mechanical properties (strength, ductility, hardness, toughness, elasticity, fatigue, creep)
  • Physical properties (density, specific heat, thermal expansion, conductivity, melting point, electrical and magnetic)
  • Chemical properties (oxidation, corrosion, degradation, toxicity, flammability)
  • Manufacturing properties (castability, formability, machinability, jointability, and heat treatment)

Types of Materials

  • Ferrous metals (carbon, alloy, stainless, tool steel)
  • Nonferrous metals (aluminum, magnesium, copper, nickel, titanium, superalloys, precious metals)
  • Plastics (polymers)
  • Ceramics, glasses, and graphite
