    Study Notes

    Manufacturing

    • Manufacturing: the transformation of raw materials into products of greater value by one or more processing and/or assembly operations
    • Manufacturing System: a coordinated network of people, equipment, facilities, procedures, and information that transforms inputs into outputs.
      • Macro View: Manages materials and processes (facilities, people, equipment, procedures)
      • Micro View: Individual equipment and operators that perform processing and/or assembly operations on a starting raw material (specific machines, mill, lathe, operators, workpiece, cutting tools)
    • Manufacturing Support Systems: Increase productivity but do not make the final product (people and procedures used to manage production operations)

    Manufacturing Considerations

    • Costs:
      • Setup costs (equipment and tooling)
      • Running costs (energy and labor)
      • Waste/pollution (environmental costs)
      • Cost decreases with increasing quantity
      • Cost increases with increasing complexity and variety
    • Production Rate:
      • Parts per unit of time
      • Speed of production
    • Labor: Number of people required to operate the manufacturing system
    • Geometric Complexity:
      • Part shape
      • Part size

      • What shapes can/can't be made
    • Manufacturing Plant Capability:
      • Manufacturing plant capability
      • Number of components
      • Use standard part shapes and sizes to reduce cost
      • Minimize part complexity
    • Product Variety:
      • Different product types or models produced in the plant
      • Soft: Slight changes, many common parts
      • Hard: Great changes, few common parts
      • Cannot manufacture many parts if all parts are different across different products due to cost

    Shaping Processes

    • Solidification Process: Starting material is melted and solidified.
      • Casting (metals and ceramics): Molten material is poured into a mold.
      • Moulding (plastics): Material is pressed into a die.
    • Deformation Process (Bulk): Starting material is shaped by forces exceeding the yield strength of the material.
      • Sheet metal forming or stamping: Flat sheet metal is formed into desired shapes.
      • Forging: Material is hammered or pressed into shape.
      • Extrusion: Material is pushed through a die to create a desired shape.
    • Material Subtraction (Machining): Excess material is cut away from a starting workpiece.
      • Turning: Material is cut from a rotating workpiece using a single point cutting tool.
      • Drilling: Material is cut from a workpiece using a rotating drill bit.
      • Milling: Material is cut from a workpiece using a rotating milling cutter.
    • Material Addition Process (3D Printing): Material is added together to form the final part shape.
      • Particulate processing: Starting materials are metal or ceramic powders which are pressed and sintered (heated near melting temperature).
      • Powder bed fusion process: Laser fuses powder together (additive manufacturing or AM).
    • Material Joining Process: Separate bulk material parts are joined to form the final shape
      • Adhesive bonding/glueing
      • Welding/brazing
      • Fastening with bolts

    Material Removal/Subtractive Manufacturing

    • Conventional Machining: Uses a sharp and hard cutting tool to mechanically cut away material to shape and enhance finish of material or add extra details by forming chip.
      • Factors:
        • Relative motion and trajectory between tool and workpiece
        • Shape of cutting tool
        • Strength of cutting tool material
        • Cost of cutting tool
      • Target Material: Typically for metal, but plastic or ceramic materials may be used depending on machinability.
      • Target Stage: Typically performed after other basic near-net shape manufacturing processes such as casting, forging, etc.
      • Advantages
        • Versatile
        • High dimensional accuracy
        • Good surface finish (net finish)
        • Few defects
        • Easily automated (CNC)
        • Can have replaceable inserts
      • Disadvantages:
        • Wasteful of material
        • Costly to recycle
        • More time consuming than other methods (low-medium rate)
        • Can leave machining marks
        • Shape limited by tool access
        • Material machinability
      • Considerations:
        • Cutting tools wear out or fail (break) over time due to higher loads

    Machined Surface Finish

    • Can show visible machining marks
    • Factors:
      • Geometric tool factors: Nose radius (NR) & feed (f)
        • Roughing: (High feed, low speed), uses a sharp nose radius to get near-net shape by removing large amounts of material quickly.
        • Finishing: (Low feed, high speed), uses a round nose radius to get net shape (final dimensions, tolerance, and surface finish).
      • Eliminate vibrations/chatter: Increase stiffness of setup, reduce feeds and depths to reduce forces, change cutter design to reduce forces, use a cutting fluid.
      • Process used:

    Cutting Fluids

    • Machining often requires use of cutting fluids (oil, water):
      • To remove heat
      • To lubricate the chip-tool interface
      • To wash away chips
      • To avoid part oxidation
    • Contributes to:
      • Chip removal
      • Reduced stress on cutting tool
      • Increased tool life
      • Better part accuracy (reduced thermal expansion)
      • Less surface damage

    Turning

    • Uses lathe and single tip tool to create a rotational part (circular cross section).
    • Process:
      • Material is spinning (primary motion).
      • Rotating tool moves horizontally (secondary motion).
      • Creates divots into the circular part.
    • Factors:
      • Relative motion and trajectory between tool and workpiece (cutting speed and feed motion) to achieve various geometries/shapes.
      • Shape of cutting tool.
    • Types of Lathes:
      • Basic lathe: Bed, tool post, chucks, tailstocks.
      • Turret lathe: Tailstock replaced by turret that holds several tools, tools rapidly brought into action by indexing the turret, saves changeover time.
      • CNC lathe: Advanced programmable “Computer Numerical Control” (CNC) of position, tool change, and tool feeds.
    • Advantages:
      • Precision and Accuracy
      • Versatility
      • Flexibility
    • Disadvantages:
      • Material Waste
      • Requires specific machinery
    • Knurling: Forming operation to produce patterns in the work surface, no cutting of material, just deformation.

    Drilling

    • Drilling machine/press uses a drill bit (multiple points) to create a prismatic part (rigid non-rotational cross section).
    • Process:
      • Material is stationary.
      • Rotating tool moves along one axis.
      • Creates circular holes into the part.
      • Through Hole: Drill exits the opposite side of the work.
      • Blind Hole: Drill does not exit the opposite side.
    • Factors that influence cost:
      • Cutting speed (v)
      • Feed rate (fr)
      • Depth of cut (d)
    • Types:
      • Machine Used:
        • Upright drill press: Simple manually operated machine with limited adjustability.
        • Radial arm drill press: More adjustability (horizontal and vertical), manually operated.
        • CNC drill: More adjustability (horizontal and vertical), computer positioning, advanced computer numerical control operated.
      • Drill bit used:
        • Body of flutes, spiral grooves, used to guide chip removal and deliver cutting fluids.
        • Cutting points - number of flutes.
        • Reaming: Slightly enlarges a hole, enhances tolerance and surface finish (removes machine marks).
        • Tapping: Cuts internal screw threads on an existing hole.
        • Counterboring: Creates a stepped hole.
        • Countersinking: Used for hiding bolt/screw head.
    • Advantages:
      • High accuracy and repeatability
      • Can drill a wide range of hole sizes and depths
      • Relatively easy to automate
    • Limitations of Conventional Drilling:
      • At depths of over 4 times the diameter of the drill bit, chips can accumulate, cutting fluid flow is restricted, interrupted cut drilling (peck drilling).
      • Long/deep and narrow holes (small diameter) are difficult/impossible to drill conventionally due to drill bits being fragile and likely to break or wonder/skew.
      • Small holes: Difficult to drill conventionally due to smaller drills being fragile.
