  • The Definition of Manufacturing.
  • Identify production tasks by the type of product

4
Classification of Production Tasks
  • Material removal any process by which a part or
    piece of a material is severed or separated from
    another section of the same material.
  • Material addition by which a piece of stock can
    be increased in volume or weight
  • Change of form methods by which the shape of a
    piece of material is altered.
  • Change of condition when the internal structure
    of metal and other parts can be altered to
    provide the qualities required in the final
    product.
  • Material joining method by which two or more
    parts are held together
  • Finishing when a finish is applied that makes a
    product suitable for use for its intended purpose

Determining The Proper Tool
  • What are the physical properties of the material
    being cut, formed, or shaped, and what are the
    properties of the tools being used?
  • Does the tool or process produce an object or
    part that meets all of the design specifications
    given in the plans?
  • Does the tool or process selected have the
    precision required for the product?
  • Does the tool or process selected meet the
    required production rate of the job?

IT208
6
Determining The Proper Tool
  • Is the tool or process economical? In other
    words, is the per-unit cost of the process low
    enough to do the job profitably?
  • Does the selected tool or process meet the social
    or environmental requirements, and are the
    resulting environmental costs small enough to
    justify using the process?
  • Will the tool or process be available when it is
    needed?
  • Is a trained operator required for the process?
    If so, will one be available when needed?

STRUCTURE OF MATTER
  • All properties of materials are a function of
    their structure. If the atomic structure,
    bonding structure, crystal structure, and the
    imperfections in the material are known, the
    properties of the material can be determined.
  • Matter is composed of atoms, which are composed
    of proton, neutrons, and electrons.
  • Atoms combine to form molecules, which are the
    smallest units of chemical compounds.
  • The atoms are held together by chemical bonds.

Chapter 2

Categories of chemical bonds
  • In chemical bonds, atoms can either transfer or
    share their valence electrons
  • ionic In the extreme case where one or more
    atoms lose electrons and other atoms gain them in
    order to produce a noble gas electron
    configuration, the bond is called an ionic bond.
  • covalent - Covalent chemical bonds involve the
    sharing of a pair of valence electrons by two
    atoms, in contrast to the transfer of electrons
    in ionic bonds. Such bonds lead to stable
    molecules if they share electrons in such a way
    as to create a noble gas configuration for each
    atom.

STATES OF MATTER
  • Gaseous State individual atoms or molecules
    have little or not attraction to each other.
    They are in constant motion and are continuously
    bouncing off one other.
  • Boiling Point The temperature at which gaseous
    particles begin to bond to each other. To
    continue into the liquid state the heat of
    vaporization must be removed or to move from
    liquid to gas the heat must be added.
  • Liquid State having bonds of varying lengths
    relating to the viscosity of a material
  • Solid State has a definite structure
  • Melting point the temperature at which enough
    energy to break one bond of a crystal. All true
    solids have a definite melting point.

NUCLEATION OF GRAINS
  • The phenomenon when the temperature of molten
    material is lowered to the melting point, little
    crystals or nuclei are formed at many points in
    the liquid.
  • After the grains have been nucleated and grown
    together to form a solid, the process of grain
    growth occurs. Slow cooling to room temperature
    allows for larger grains to form, while rapid
    cooling only allows for small grains to form.

Chapter 2

IT208
14
NUCLEATION OF GRAINS
  • Atoms or particles align themselves into planes
    within each crystal, there is a uniform distance
    between particles. These plains can slide over
    each other, the more ductile the material
    becomes, the more ways slip can occur.
  • A materials density, ductility, and malleability
    are a factor or crystalline structure resulting
    in planes for slip to occur.

STRENGTH PROPERTIES
  • Stress - defined as the load per unit cross
    section of area.
  • Compression
  • Torsional
  • Tension forces pulling an object in opposite
    directions. If the load or force pulling on the
    material is divided by the cross-sectional area
    of the bar, the result is the tensile stress
    applied to the sample
  • AREA
  • Width x Height

STRENGTH PROPERTIES
  • Elastic limit - The maximum applied stress that
    metals and other materials can be stretched and
    still rebound in much the same manner as a rubber
    band - also called proportional limit.
  • The rest of the stress-strain curve, to the right
    of the elastic limit, is the plastic region.
    (Figure 2.16 in text, pg 21.)

STRENGTH PROPERTIES
  • Tensile strength or ultimate strength is the
    maximum stress that a bar will withstand before
    failing and is shown as point T on the curve.
    (See Figure 2.16, pg 21)
  • Rupture strength - or breaking strength is the
    stress at which at a bar breaks, point R on
    Figure 2-16.
  • Yield strength - the engineering design strength
    of the material
  • The point intersection determined by measuring a
    distance of 0.002 inch/inch on the strain axis,
    then drawing a straight line parallel to the
    straight-line portion of the curve. (Figure

SURFACE PROPERTIES
  • Hardness is a measure of a materials resistance
    to surface deformation.
  • One of the most common is the Rockwell test.
  • The Rockwell test makes use of three different
    indenters or points (Figure 2-28)
  • 1/16-inch steel ball
  • 1/8-inch ball, and
  • black diamond conical or brale point.
  • In reporting a Rockwell harness number, the scale
    must be stated along with the hardness value

Chapter 2
37
IT208
38
SURFACE PROPERTIES
  • The B-scale is used for softer materials (such as
    aluminum, brass, and softer steels). It employs a
    hardened steel ball as the indenter and a 100kg
    weight to obtain a value expressed as "HRB".
  • The C-scale, for harder materials, uses a diamond
    cone, known as a Brale indenter and a 150kg
    weight to obtain a value expressed as "HRC".

Chapter 2
38
IT208
39
SURFACE PROPERTIES
  • Brinell Hardness (BHN). A second common hardness
    test used to test metals is the Brinell hardness
    test (Figure 2-30).
  • In the Brinell test, a 10-millimetre
    case-hardened steel ball is driven into the
    surface of the metal by one of three standard
    loads 500, 1500, or 3000 kilograms. Once the
    ball is pushed into the material by the specified
    load, the diameter of the indentation left in the
    metal (Figure 2-31) measured in millimeters

SURFACE PROPERTIES
  • Impact
  • As opposed to steady-state test (tensile
    strength, compressive strength, shear strength,
    and torsion strength) Impact strength is
    determined by a sudden blow to the material.
  • The speed at which the load is applied is known
    as the strain rate and is measured in inches per
    minute, meters per minute, millimeters per second
    or similar units.
  • The impact strength of a metal can be determined
    by using one of three methods Izod, Charpy,
    Tensile impact.
  • Impact testing is discussed on pgs 34 through 37.

Chapter 2

IT208
41
SURFACE PROPERTIES
  • Creep
  • The elongation caused by the steady and
    continuous application of a load over a long
    period of time. The load is applied continuously
    for many months to many years. The amount of
    creep depends on the elasticity of the material,
    its yield strength, the stress applied, and
    temperature.
  • Fatigue
  • The failure of a material due to cyclic or
    repeated stresses.

  • Lathe Components
  • Bed- supports all other major components
  • Carriage- slides along the ways and consists of
    an assembly cross-slide, tool post, and apron.
  • Headstock- fixed to the bed and has motors,
    pulleys, and v-belts that supply power to the
    spindle (hollow) (work holding device attached to
    the spindle)
  • Tailstock- can slide along the ways and can be
    clamped down. Supports the part on the rear end
    with Live or Dead center6.
  • Feed rod and lead screw- used to provide power to
    the carriage to feed it along or across the work
    piece.

MATERIAL REMOVAL
  • Milling- A process that is capable of producing
    a variety of configurations using a multitooth
    tool, turns the tool and holds the workpiece to
    provide the cutting action
  • Types of Milling Machines
  • Horizontal- the spindle is placed horizontal
    (used for heavier cutting)
  • Vertical- the spindle is placed vertical (the
    most common type of milling machine)

Chapter 4

IT 208
61
MATERIAL REMOVAL
  • Shaping and Planning - Cutting blades rotate
    while the material is passed through them.
  • Routing - Uses specially shaped cutting tool to
    remove material in a defined geometry.
  • Broaching - Specific file geometry is used to
    duplicate the profile of the broach inside a
    hole.
  • Drilling and Boring
  • Drilling - Stock is held stationary and the drill
    is rotated
  • Boring - Cutting tool is stationary and the
    material rotated

62
MATERIAL REMOVAL
  • Reaming and Honing
  • Reamer- Similar to a drill, but has straight
    cutting edges and is used for finishing a hole to
    very close tolerances.
  • Hones - Small grindstone used to move material
    and smooth out the final surface.

63
MATERIAL REMOVAL
  • Sawing
  • Advantages Quick and cheap method of material
    removal
  • Disadvantages Leaves rough surface on both
    sides of the cut.
  • Saw Set Making the kerf wider than the blade
    backing so that the blade will not bind in the
    kerf.
  • Blade selection Harder the material, the finer
    and closer the teeth. Steel 14-30 t.p.i.,
    Aluminum 8-12 t.p.i.
  • Circular Saws, Jig Saws, Hack Saws, Band, Saws,
    Chain Saws.
  • Abrasive Saws- used to cut (grind) extremely hard
    materials cannot be used to cut soft materials
    because it will load the blade.

MATERIAL REMOVAL
  • Shearing and Punching
  • Shearing- Process of slitting flat stock up to
    ½ in thickness
  • Punching- Shearing any shaped hole in flat stock.
  • Grinding Removal of material by abrasion.
  • Dressing a wheel is a process of using a
    diamond to remove the outer layer of a wheel, so
    that it becomes round (true) and the ends square.
  • Grit Size refers to the size of grit that will
    pass through the number of openings per linear
    inch in a sieve. (i.e. 100 grit sand paper)

Chapter 4
64
IT 208
65
MATERIAL REMOVAL
  • Cutting Tool Shapes (see fig. 4-50)
  • Side, back, and end rake angles are determined by
    the materials being cut and the type of cut being
    made. Hard materials require very little side or
    back rake angle.
  • High Speed Steel (HSS) best choice for roughing
    purposes. They are inexpensive, can be easily
    resharpened, and are not extremely brittle. The
    HSS tools will take considerable shock. Their
    drawback is that they dull faster, especially in
    the cutting of harder metals.

Chapter 4
65
IT 208
66
MATERIAL REMOVAL
  • Carbide Carbide tips will cut harder steels,
    but they are brittle and should not be used for
    roughing purposes. Carbide-tipped tools can
    produce closer tolerances and better finishes
    than the HSS tools.
  • Ceramic tools - are not affected by heat, and can
    be operated at extremely high revolutions per
    minute. However, these tools are similar to
    glass in brittleness. Ceramic tools are
    generally used only for the final, very light cut
    on very hard steels.

MATERIAL REMOVAL
  • Feeds Speeds
  • Cutting Speed is the velocity of the surface of
    a workpiece as it passes the cutting tool.
  • Speed (SFPM) given in surface feet per minute
    (SFPM).
  • Spindle Speed is the rotational speed in
    revolutions per minute at which the lathe,
    milling machine, saw, grinder, or drill press is
    running.
  • Feed - the rate of advance of the cutting tool
    per revolution.
  • Depth of Cut is the distance to which the
    cutting tool enters the workpiece.

  • Competencies
  • Identify the general operating principles of EDM

77
Electrical Methods of Material Removal
  • Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) - The
    process of removing metal with an electric arc.
  • The workpiece and cathode (shape of tool/
    impression) are submerged in a dielectric fluid
  • Voltage is applied (DC 300V)
  • Material is arced away and flushed out by the
    dielectric fluid
  • Electrodes are usually made of graphite
  • The material removal rate is influenced by the
    melting temperature of the workpiece material and
    is faster for materials of lower melting
    temperature.

78
Electrical Methods of Material Removal
  • EDM is best suited for materials whose parts are
  • Made of very hard (conducting) materials and
  • To have a high precision (or low surface
    roughness)
  • At a low production rate
  • To have some strange shapes which would be
    difficult to machine by conventional techniques

79
Electrical Methods of Material Removal
  • RAM EDM Plunge EDM Die Sinking EDM - complex
    cavities are formed by penetration of shaped
    electrode into the part.
  • Used to make dies for forging or punching
    operations.
  • Wire EDM- Uses a wire to erode the sides of the
    hole to form two external surfaces, which can
    have an elaborate shape.
  • wire electrode is of brass, copper, tungsten or
    molybdenum

Chemical Methods of Material Removal
  • Chemical and electrochemical machining allow
    parts be removed that may be difficult by other
    process
  • Chemical machining can reach areas not accessible
  • Electrochemical are faster than chemical
    machining
  • Both chemical and electrochemical pose
    environmental problems
  • Disposal process is expensive
  • Serious environmental risks/expenses associated
    with handling
