Activities respond to :
Meet design requirements and product specs and std. Environmentally friendly and economical methods. Quality built in every stage & level appropriate to use. Methods must be flexible - respond to changes in market demands, types of products, production rates, production quantities, and on-time delivery requirements. Development in materials, production methods and computer integration - technological & managerial. Viewed as large system - can be modeled. Constantly strive for higher levels of quality and productivity (optimum use of all its resources).

Design Process

Selection of materials :
Require knowledge of function and service requirement. Metals - Ferrous and nonferrous, superalloys. Polymer - thermoplastics & thermoset, elastomers. Ceramics (traditional & advanced), glass ceramics, glasses, graphite, diamond, diamond-like materials. Composite materials - PMC, MMC, CMC. Nanomaterials, shape-memory alloys, amorphous alloys, superconductors, and others. Properties : mechanical , physical, chemical (normal & hostile environment), and manufacturing. Cost and availability : raw & processed, and manufactured components. Appearance, service life and recycling issue.

Selection of Manufacturing Process


Casting : foundry or net-shape molding processes Solid state : powder metallurgy Forming or metalworking processes - hot and cold ; rolling, extrusion, forging, wire drawing, sheet metal. Machining (material removal) processes - shaping, drilling, turning, milling, sawing, broaching & abrasive machining. Also micro-machining electrochemical, thermal, etc. Joining and assembly - mechanical fastening, soldering & brazing, welding, press/shrink/snap fittings, adhesive bonding & assembly process. Surface treatment finishing & property enhancement. Rapid prototyping Heat treatment enhancement of properties.

Casting operation fluidity of liquid as it flows & takes the shape of mold

Powder metallurgy manufacture from powder, net-shape production.

(a) Forging & (b) Extrusion : Deformation exploits ductility, plastically deform to desired shape. Only for metals with enough ductility.

Selection of Manufacturing Process


Properties of materials - manufacturing methods - design. How do you decide which process to use? Consequence of improper selection of materials & processes => malfunction, underperform, unreliable or unsafe for use / product failure.

Materials Processing
Cast : can produce complex shapes but prone to defects such as shrinkage and porosity. Powder Metallurgy : high precision, little waste, minimum finishing and minimize casting defects but limited by cost and small parts. Forming : high rates of production but usually require powerful equipment and reliable tool or dies. Machining : capable of outstanding dimensional precision but with lots of scrap. Joining : great to join components to make complex products but joint areas often affected by the joining process and prone to defects. Heat treatment / surface technology : finishing or enhancement of properties & aesthetic value.
