Study Notes
Manufacturing Processes Training
- The training aims to provide designers with an understanding of manufacturing processes used in industrial production.
- The goal of the training is to help participants differentiate and understand the principles of each process, their applications, advantages, and disadvantages.
Training Schedule
- The training is a 3-hour session, covering forming, casting, molding, machining, and joining processes.
Forming Processes
- Forming processes shape materials by applying force without removing material.
- Rolling: A process that uses multiple rollers to deform a material into a desired shape.
- Advantages of Rolling: Improved mechanical properties, fully automated process.
- Disadvantages of Rolling: High tooling costs, limited in producing complex shapes.
Casting Processes
- Casting processes involve pouring molten metal into a mold and allowing it to solidify.
- Casting is typically used for metals, particularly non-ferrous metals like aluminum and zinc.
- Die Casting: Forces molten metal into reusable metal molds at high pressure.
- Advantages of Die Casting: Excellent surface finish, tight tolerances.
- Disadvantages of Die Casting: High start-up costs, suitable only for large production runs.
- Sand Casting: Uses a pattern to create a single-use mold from damp sand.
- Advantages of Sand Casting: Wide range of metals, large and complex parts, low initial costs.
- Disadvantages of Sand Casting: Poor surface finish, less accurate than other casting techniques.
- Investment Casting: Creates several wax patterns of the same object and attaches them to a sprue; the wax tree is dipped into a slurry to form a ceramic mold.
- Advantages of Investment Casting: Good for complex geometry, tight tolerances.
- Disadvantages of Investment Casting: Relatively expensive and time-consuming.
Molding Processes
- Molding involves shaping a liquid or pliable material using a mold.
- Molding is commonly used for plastics but can be used for other materials.
- Injection Molding: The most common manufacturing technique for plastics.
- Advantages of Injection Molding: Very fast process, fully automated.
- Disadvantages of Injection Molding: High start-up costs due to expensive molds, mainly for thermoplastics.
- Compression Molding: Involves placing a precise amount of material into a mold, then applying pressure and temperature.
- Advantages of Compression Molding: Low tooling costs.
- Disadvantages of Compression Molding: Relatively slow process, not suitable for complex designs, mainly for thermosets.
- Blow Molding: Forms hollow plastic parts, also used for glass bottles and other hollow shapes.
- Advantages of Blow Molding: Low tooling costs, highly automated and time-saving process for large productions.
- Disadvantages of Blow Molding: Only for hollow parts, thick parts cannot be manufactured.
Machining Processes
- Machining is a material removal process where a tool removes material from a workpiece.
- Milling: Uses a rotary cutting tool to remove material.
- Advantages of Milling: Wide array of tools with different diameters and hardness, commonly used for prismatic parts.
- Turning/Lathing: Shapes a rotating workpiece using a cutting tool.
- Advantages of Turning: Meant for cylindrical parts.
Joining Processes
- Joining processes connect two or more parts together.
- Brazing: Uses a filler metal to permanently join materials with a high melting point.
- Soldering: Similar to brazing, but uses a filler metal to join softer and more delicate materials like the ones used in electronics and jewelry.
- Riveting: A forging process that joins parts together by a metal rivet.
- Fastening: A temporary joining process that uses fasteners to mechanically assemble two or more parts.
Knowledge Application
- The training aims to help participants apply the acquired knowledge to improve part geometry and determine manufacturability.
- The provided examples and explanations are intended to equip individuals with the necessary skills to enhance operational efficiency and product quality in manufacturing environments.
