Study Notes
Chapter 1: Introduction
- Manufacturing science aims to improve the standard of living by creating comfortable lives.
- Manufacturing is crucial to any industrialized economy.
- Manufacturing engineering focuses on different processes for producing parts and assembling them into functional machines and mechanisms.
- Production volume and the type of components to be produced classify manufacturing into different types.
Classification of Manufacturing Processes
- Manufacturing processes are categorized into casting, deformation, machining, plastic materials/polymers processing, powder metallurgy, joining, heat treatment, surface treatment, and assembly.
- Casting involves pouring molten metal into molds.
- Deformation processes change the material's shape through plastic deformation.
- Machining processes remove material to create the desired shape.
- Manufacturing often combines several processes to create a final product.
- Processes like casting, forging, rolling, and machining are some of the primary manufacturing processes; these processes are employed in the initial breakdown of starting materials.
- Secondary manufacturing processes are employed to change the geometry and properties of a product into a semifinished or finished product.
Various Kinds of Production
- Production type depends on volume and component type.
- Piece or job-lot production involves producing small quantities to order.
- Medium production involves producing parts in repeating lots, typically between 2500 to 100,000 parts annually.
- Mass production is focused on creating a high number of standardized products with strict interchangeability.
- Continuous-flow production is the most advanced form of mass production, achieving a predefined operational time across the entire production line.
Computers in Manufacturing
- Computers are used in design, production cycle, control of machines, planning, and material management.
- These technologies have improved productivity and quality of products.
- Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) are important tools.
- Numerically controlled (NC), Computer Numerical Control (CNC), and Direct Numerical Control (DNC) are ways of controlling machines.
- Computer-aided process planning (CAPP) and material requirements planning (MRP) are essential planning processes.
Selection of Manufacturing Process
- The process selection is influenced by starting material type, production volume, and desired component quality and properties.
- Factors include required surface finish, and tolerance and expected dimensional accuracy, such as the type and nature of the starting material, the volume of production, expected quality and properties of the components and the technical viability of the process.
- Selection also considers cost of material, material type, machining method, and geometrical shapes.
Chapter 2: Engineering Materials and Heat Treatment
- Materials are broadly classified into metallic and non-metallic.
- Metallic materials are further broken down into ferrous (iron-based) and non-ferrous (other metals).
- Key material properties include homogeneity, isotropy, anisotropy, elasticity, plasticity, ductility, brittleness, and toughness.
- Homogeneity describes material consistency, and isotropy relates to similar properties in all directions.
- Manufacturing materials must be machinable, weldable, or castable to be useful.
- The Iron-Carbon Phase Diagram illustrates the relationship between temperature and carbon content in iron-carbon alloys, with various phases like ferrite, austenite, cementite, and pearlite.
- Different types of cast iron, including gray, white, and malleable cast iron, have different properties and applications, which depend on the cooling rate and carbon content.
- Specific heat treatments, like annealing, hardening, and tempering, modify steel's mechanical properties.
Types of Manufacturing Processes
- Many manufacturing processes can produce a part or a complex assembly, using either primary or secondary processes.
- Primary processes deal with initial breakdown of the material.
- Secondary processes change the materials shape to a final product.
- Typical processes include casting, forging, rolling, machining.
Heat Treatment of Metals
- Heat treatment modifies the physical properties (strength, hardness, ductility).
- Annealing is a softening heat treatment process used to reduce stresses and improve ductility.
- Hardening increases strength and hardness, but decreases ductility.
- Tempering reduces brittleness and improves toughness after hardening.
- Various types of heat treatments like annealing, normalization, hardening, and tempering are used to modify steel properties to optimize mechanical properties like hardness, ductility, and toughness.
