CAMBRIDGE NATIONALS TA 2.2: Other properties influencing manufacturing R014: Principles of engineering manufacture TA2: Engineering materials CAMBRIDGE NATIONALS R014, TA2.2 Non-mechanical properties The choice of material is not dependent only on how the material reacts to an applied force It also depends on how the properties of the material influence manufacturing Other important properties include: Sustainability considerations Malleability: the ability of a material to be shaped Can it be made using by a compressive force without breaking renewable materials? Machinability: the ease with which a material can How much energy is needed to make be cut the product? Can the parts of the product Sustainability: the ability of a material to be used without using up non-renewable resources be reused? Can the material be recycled? Non-mechanical properties Cost CAMBRIDGE NATIONALS R014, TA2.2 Cost These properties have a direct effect on how much it costs to manufacture a product Cost has two direct elements: Cost of materials used to make the product – including any scrap or waste produced Manufacturing cost: the cost of the time that it takes to make each product (workers must be paid!) the cost of the equipment needed to make the product (this might be divided between all the Explain which costs are affected by products made using the equipment) malleability, machinability and sustainability. Non-mechanical properties Cost
