16 Questions
What is another factor that influences the choice of material in manufacturing, apart from how it reacts to an applied force?
How the material properties influence manufacturing
What is malleability?
The ability of a material to be shaped by a compressive force without breaking
What is a sustainability consideration in material selection?
Can it be made using renewable materials?
What are the two direct elements of cost in manufacturing?
Cost of materials and manufacturing cost
What is machinability?
The ease with which a material can be cut
What is affected by the malleability of a material?
Manufacturing cost
Why is sustainability important in material selection?
To reduce the environmental impact of the product
What is the effect of non-mechanical properties on manufacturing?
They have a direct effect on the cost of manufacturing
How does the choice of material depend on its properties beyond its reaction to an applied force?
The choice of material depends on its non-mechanical properties, such as malleability, machinability, and sustainability, which influence manufacturing.
What is the relationship between malleability and manufacturing cost?
Malleability affects the cost of manufacturing by influencing the time and equipment needed to shape the material.
How does machinability impact the manufacturing process?
Machinability affects the ease with which a material can be cut, influencing the manufacturing cost and time.
What is the role of sustainability in material selection?
Sustainability considers whether a material can be used without depleting non-renewable resources, and whether it can be recycled or reused.
How do non-mechanical properties influence the cost of materials?
Non-mechanical properties, such as sustainability, affect the cost of materials by influencing the availability and sourcing of materials.
What are the consequences of using non-renewable materials in manufacturing?
Using non-renewable materials can lead to resource depletion and increased environmental impact.
How does the cost of equipment impact the manufacturing cost?
The cost of equipment is divided among the products made using it, influencing the manufacturing cost.
What is the impact of non-mechanical properties on the overall manufacturing process?
Non-mechanical properties, such as malleability, machinability, and sustainability, have a direct effect on the manufacturing cost and time.
Study Notes
Non-Mechanical Properties Influencing Manufacturing
- Material selection depends on properties that influence manufacturing, not just reaction to applied force
- Important non-mechanical properties include:
- Malleability: ability of a material to be shaped by compressive force without breaking
- Machinability: ease of cutting a material
- Sustainability: ability to use a material without depleting non-renewable resources
- Cost: direct and indirect expenses affecting manufacturing
Sustainability Considerations
- Can the material be made using renewable materials?
- How much energy is required to manufacture the product?
- Can product parts be reused?
- Can the material be recycled?
Cost Factors
- Direct elements of cost:
- Cost of materials used to make the product (including scrap/waste)
- Manufacturing cost:
- Labor cost (worker wages)
- Equipment cost (including shared costs among products)
- Malleability, machinability, and sustainability affect costs
