Study Notes
Mechanical Processes for Metals
-
Casting: Melting and pouring metal into a mold to create the desired shape
- Types: Sand casting, die casting (gravity and pressure)
- Advantages: Creates complex shapes; economical for large parts
- Disadvantages: Coarse grain structure; requires post-processing
Heat Treatment
-
Definition: Altering metal properties through heating and controlled cooling
- Annealing (Glühen): Softens steel, improves ductility and toughness, reduces internal stress
- Normalizing: Improves strength, eliminates internal stress, refines grain structure
- Hardening: Creates a very hard structure, heating above a critical temperature, often using water or oil quenching
- Tempering (Anlassen): Reduces brittleness, increases toughness after hardening
- Case Hardening (Einsatzhärten): Creates a hard surface with a tough core
Forging
-
Definition: Shaping metal through hammering or pressing
- Types:
- Hand forging (Freiformschmieden): Manual, custom/low-volume
- Drop forging (Gesenkschmieden): Using dies, high precision/consistency
- Types:
Mechanical Joining Methods
-
Definition: Fastening metal parts using permanent or detachable methods
- Types:
- Riveting (Nieten): Permanent, used in shipbuilding and aircraft
- Screws and bolts (Schraubverbindungen): Detachable, general use
- Studs (Stiftschrauben): Secure connections, often in engines
- Set screws (Setzschrauben): Used to fix components via friction or compression
- Types:
Soldering and Welding
- Soldering (Löten): Joining metals using a low-melting alloy (solder), common in electronics
- Brazing (hard soldering): Uses silver solder at higher temperatures for stronger joints.
-
Welding (Schweißen): Permanent joining by melting base materials
- Types:
- Arc welding: Uses an electric arc to melt the metal
- Oxy-acetylene welding: Uses gas flame to heat and fuse
- Resistance welding: Applies high electrical current to heat the joint and melt
- Types:
Hot and Cold Bulk Deformation
-
Definition: Changing metal shape through plastic deformation, with or without heat
- Hot working: Metal heated above recrystallization temperature before deformation
-
Cold working: Metal deformed below recrystallization temperature, increasing strength through strain hardening
- Processes: Rolling, Drawing, Extrusion (specific cross-section shape)
