Study Notes
Material Processing
- Material Processing is the conversion of raw materials into useful products.
- The field encompasses the science and technology required to determine the optimal material and processing technique to achieve desired material properties.
Material Processing Categories
-
Casting: Pouring liquid material into a mold and allowing it to solidify.
-
Expendable Mold Casting: The mold is destroyed to remove the casting.
- Examples include Sand casting, Shell casting, Investment casting, and Lost-foam casting.
-
Multiple-use Mold Casting: The mold is reusable.
- Examples include Die Casting and Permanent-mold casting.
-
Expendable Mold Casting: The mold is destroyed to remove the casting.
-
Material Removal: Removing material from a workpiece to achieve the desired shape and size.
-
Mechanical Machining: Removing material using a cutting tool.
- Examples include Turning, Milling, Drilling, Boring, Sawing, and Etching.
-
Non-traditional Machining: Removing material using non-mechanical means.
- Examples include Electrodischarge machining, Water jet cutting, and Laser beam machining.
-
Mechanical Machining: Removing material using a cutting tool.
-
Deformation Processes: Shaping material by applying pressure to deform it.
-
Hot Bulk Forming: Deforming material at elevated temperatures.
- Examples include Forging, Rolling, and Extrusion.
-
Cold Forming: Deforming material at room temperature.
- Examples include Wire drawing, Swaging, Roll forming, and Deep drawing.
-
Hot Bulk Forming: Deforming material at elevated temperatures.
-
Consolidation Processes: Joining materials together to form a single unit.
-
Welding: Joining two or more pieces of material by melting the interface and allowing it to solidify.
- Examples include Oxyfuel, Arc, Plasma, and Resistance welding.
- Brazing and Soldering: Similar to welding, but using filler metals with lower melting points.
- Adhesive bonding: Joining materials using an adhesive.
-
Mechanical Joining: Joining materials using mechanical fasteners.
- Examples include Discrete fasteners (screws, bolts, rivets), Integral fasteners (studs, pins, keys), Press fit, and Shrink fit.
-
Welding: Joining two or more pieces of material by melting the interface and allowing it to solidify.
Product Performance and Processing Methods
- Different processing methods produce different material properties, which affect product performance.
- Casting processes often produce parts with lower strength and higher porosity compared to other methods.
- Material removal methods can produce parts with high accuracy and precise finishes.
- Deformation processes can produce strong and durable parts with good shape control.
- Consolidation processes can join different materials together, creating complex and high-performance products.
Integration of Multiple Processing Techniques
- Manufacturers face challenges integrating multiple processing techniques into one production system.
- The need for compatible materials, tools, and equipment for different processes is essential.
- Process control and automation are crucial for achieving consistent quality across different processing steps.
- Overcoming these challenges requires careful process planning, advanced automation, and innovative material selection.
