3. Introduction • Manufacturing process of a workpiece involves transforming a raw material into finished state by changing its shape or the properties of the material in a series of steps. • The design engineer should have complete knowledge of manufacturing processes. • Actually, manufacturing process is the part of production process directly concerned with the changes in dimensions, shapes and properties of raw material. • It is accomplished in definite sequence.

5. Manufacturing processes • Primary shaping processes • It is process of manufacturing of a solid body from a molten state or gaseous state or amorphous material. • Primary shaping process contains a molten metal like cast iron which is poured into the hollow space and after solidification, it attains desired shape. • Deforming processes • In this process, a metal in cold or hot condition is deformed plastically into the desired shapes without changing its mass or metal composition. • No metal is removed; only it is deformed and displaced with the use of suitable stresses like tension, compression and shear.

6. Manufacturing processes • Machining processes • In this process, the material is removed by providing suitable relative motions between the workpiece and tool, so as to generate the required size and shape. • As the material is removed, these processes are also called as removing processes. • Joining processes • In these processes, two or more pieces of metal are joined together to make a final component. • It can be carried out by fusing, pressing, rubbing, etc. • Most of the processes required heat and pressure for joining of metal pieces.

7. Manufacturing processes • Surface finishing processes • These processes are used to produce good surface finish or decorative or protective coating on the metal surface of a workpiece. • During these processes, dimensions of the part are not changed, only a negligible amount of metal is removed from the workpiece. • Material properties modification processes • They are used to provide certain specific properties to the metal parts so as to make them suitable for particular applications. • In these processes, shape of the workpiece remains same.

8. Casting process • Casting is the process in which the parts of desired shape are produced by pouring the molten metal or alloy into a cavity and then allowing the metal or alloy to cool and solidify. • This solidified piece of metal or alloy is called as casting. • Casting or foundingis the most popular method of producing metal or alloy parts of nearnet shape.

10. Basic terminology in casting process • Pattern: It is a model or replica of the object to be cast. Pattern is surrounded by the sand to give rise to a mould cavity. • Mould: It is the cavity which conforms to the shape of the component to be manufactured. • Mould box: It is combination of two halves; upper and lower half. Upper half is called as cope and lower half is called as drag. • Core: It is an obstruction which when positioned in the mould, does not permit the molten metal to fill the space occupied by the core, hence produces hollow casting.

12. Basic terminology in casting process 5. Mould material: It is one out of which mould is made. Moulds can be made up of sand, plaster of paris, ceramics, etc. 6. Pouring cup: It is a funnel shaped cup which forms the top portion of the sprue. 7. Pouring basin: Molten metal is initially poured into a pouring basin which acts as a reservoir from which it moves smoothly into the sprue. 8. Sprue: It is the channel through which the molten metal is brought into the runner and gate. 9. Runner: In case of large components, molten metal is carried from the sprue base to the several gates through a passage called as runner.

13. Basic terminology in casting process 10. Gate: A gate is a channel which connects the runner with the mould cavity. 11. Riser: It is a passage of sand, made in the cope to permit the molten metal to rise above the highest point in the casting. 12. Ladle: It is used to carry molten metal from the furnace to the molding boxes.

14. Steps involved in casting process • Pattern making • Sand preparation • Core making • Melting • Pouring • Finishing • Testing • Heat treatment • Re-testing

15. Advantages and disadvantages of casting • Advantages: • Complex shapes can be easily produced by casting process. • Provides better vibration damping capacity to components. • Flexibility of design in terms of shape, size and quality of product. • Very heavy and bulky parts can be manufactured. • It produces machinable parts. • Used for small as well as mass production.

16. Advantages and disadvantages of casting • Disadvantages: • Cast components are generally brittle i. e. weak in tension. • Defects like cracks, blow holes, etc. make casting weak and unsuitable for use. • Cast components require more machining. • Welding of cast components is difficult. • Accuracy of cast components is less. • During heating of metal, pollution of atmosphere takes place.

17. Applications of casting process • Automobile parts (pistons, cylinders, clutch and gear housings, gear blanks, etc.) • Machine parts (pulleys, gear blanks, beds, frames, etc.) • Aircraft parts (Engine blades, motor housings, etc.) • Turbine vanes, power generators, pump parts, filters, valves, etc. • Agricultural parts, railway crossings, sanitary fittings, etc. • Construction, communication and atomic energy applications.

19. Forging process • Forging is the process in which the desired shape and size is obtained through plastic deformation of metal under the action of externally applied force and heat. • It is the metal forming process which is done by either hand or by machine. • The metals which are used in forging process must possess the required ductility • The commonly used forging materials are: Aluminium alloys, copper alloys, low carbon steels, alloy steels, nickel alloys, tungsten alloys, magnesium alloys, titanium alloys, etc. Fig. Forging process

20. Types of forging • Hand forging Fig. Hand forging • It is the process of deforming the hot material into the required shape by the application of repeated blows of hammer held in hand. • This process is only used for making simple components of small size.

21. Types of forging 2. Drop forging • This process utilizes closed impression die to obtain required shape of the components. • The forging is produced by the impact or pressure which forces the hot metal (billet) to form the shape of the dies. • The equipment used for applying the blows is called as drop hammer. • During the process, the ram is raised to a definite height and then it is allowed to drop or fall freely under its own weight.

22. 3. PRESS FORGING • 4 UPSET FORGING • OPEN DIE FORGING • CLOSED DIE FORGING

23. Applications of forging • Manufacturing of car axles • Connecting rods • Crankshafts • Leaf springs • Crane hooks • Jet engine blades • Rail-road equipments • Agricultural machinery etc.

25. Mechanical working of metals • Mechanical working of a metal is a simply plastic deformation performed to change the dimensions, properties and surface conditions with the help of mechanical pressure. • Depending upon the temperature and strain rate, mechanical working may be either hot or cold working. • During this process, the formation of new grains takes place and called as recrystallization and the corresponding temperature is called as recrystallization temperature of the metal.

26. Hot working • Hot working is accomplished at a temperature above the recrystallization temperature but below the melting point of the metal. • The upper limit of working temperature depends on composition of metal, prior deformation and impurities within the metal. • Hot working improves mechanical properties such as ductility, toughness, resistance to shock and vibration, % elongation, % reduction in area, etc.

27. Hot working • Advantages • No residual stresses in hot worked part. • It refines grain structure and improves physical properties of the metal. • Any impurities in the metal are disintegrated and distributed throughout the metal. • Porosity of metal is minimised. • Larger deformation can be accomplished and more rapidly. • Disadvantages • Due to high temperatures, a rapid oxidation or scale formation takes place on the metal surface which leads to poor surface finish. • Due to loss of carbon from surface of steel, surface layer loses its strength. • Close tolerances cannot be obtained. • Weakening of surface layer may give rise to fatigue crack which results in failure of the part.

28. Cold working • The working of metals at temperature below their recrystallization temperature is called as cold working. • Most of the cold working processes are performed at room temperature. • It requires much higher pressure than hot working. • If the material is more ductile, then it can be more cold worked. • Unlike hot working, it distorts the grain structure and does not provide an appreciable reduction in size.

29. Cold working • Advantages • Better dimensional control is possible because there is not much reduction in size. • Surface finish of the component is better because there is no oxidation. • Strength and hardness of the metal are increased. • Disadvantages • Ductility of the metal is decreased during the process. • Only ductile metals can be shaped through this process. • Over-working of metal results in brittleness and it has to be annealed to remove this brittleness. • To remove the residual stresses setup during the process, subsequent heat treatment is mostly required.

40. Metal joining processes • These processes are used to join two or more metal parts. • These processes are applied in general fabrication work for steam or water-tight joints. • Temporary or permanent type of fastening is also enabled by these processes. • The commonly used joining processes are • Welding • Soldering • Brazing • Adhesive bonding

41. Welding process • It is joining process used for various metals and their alloys. • In these processes, two or more pieces of metals are joined by application of either heat or pressure or both. • In plastic/pressure welding, the metal pieces to be joined are heated to a plastic state and then forced together by external pressure. • In fusion/non-pressure welding, the metal pieces to be joined are heated to molten state and allowed to solidify.

42. Advantages and disadvantages of welding • Advantages • A large number of metals or alloys, both similar and dissimilar can be joined by welding. • It can be mechanized. • Strength of welded joint is more. • It provides leak-proof joint. • Welding equipments are not very costly. • Disadvantages • It gives harmful radiations, fumes and spatter. • Welding results in residual stresses and distortion of the workpiece. • Heat generated in welding process produces metallurgical changes hence, the structure of welded joint is different than that of parent metal.

43. Applications of welding process • Aircraft construction (welding of engine parts, turbine frames, ducts, etc.) • Rail-road equipments (Air receiver, engine, front and rear hoods, etc.) • Pipings and pipelines (open pipe joints, oil and gas pipelines, etc.) • Pressure vessels and tanks • Buildings and bridges (column base plates, erection of structures, etc.) • Automobile parts (trucks, buses, cars, bike parts, etc.) • Machine parts (frames, beds, tools, dies, etc.)

45. Arc welding process • It is a fusion welding process in which welding heat is obtained from an electric arc between an electrode and the workpiece. • The temperature produced at the centre of an arc is 6000 to 70000C. • In this, the base metal is melted by the temperature of the arc, forming a pool of molten metal. • Either A. C. or D. C. supply is used. • The electrodes used in the process are of two types i.e. bare and coated electrodes. • The length of electrodes varies from 250 mm to 450 mm whereas, diameter varies from 1.6-9 mm.

46. Advantages and disadvantages- Arc welding • Advantages • It is most versatile process which can be applied for both thick and thin sections. • Welding of complicated shapes can also be done. • Welding can be done in any position with high weld quality. • Welded parts are neat and smooth. • Disadvantages • As the electrodes are coated, the chances of slag setup and their related defects are more. • Welding control is difficult. • The process needed filler material. • It is a slow process. • Applications • Air receiver, boilers, pressure vessels fabrication • Automobile, chemical and aircraft industry • Ship building and bridge construction

50. Soldering • It is a process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal into the joint. • The filler metal used in the process is called as solder which have relatively low melting point. • In this process, the parts to be joined are heated which causes solder to melt and drawn into the joint by capillary action. • In this process, base metals are not melted like welding. • Solder material is mixture of lead and tin.
