Chapters 1 & 2 Flashcards
________ is the cornerstone of a solid
economy.
Manufacturing
Countries with innovation in manufacturing are capable
of reducing the effects of economic crises leading to a faster return to economic stability
Manufacturing represents a significant part of overall
product cost (often stated to be ca. 40%)
Selection of suitable process(es) has big influence on
overall cost
In order to select suitable manufacturing process -> engineers need to
be aware of available techniques and their pros & cons
After a selection / design was made and production started,
a switch is often very costly
It is important to determine the best manufacturing process
for given requirements
The goals may be different:
- Focus on QUALITY (“cost not important”)
- Focus on COST
- Focus on SUSTAINABILITY
- Etc.
manufacturing is a term that incorporates
a multitude of definitions that, even though they have different meanings; they refer to one of the aspects that leads a design to become a physical tangible product
What is Advanced Manufacturing?
- The use of innovative technology to improve products or processes.
- Relevant technology can be described as “advanced”, “innovative”, or “cutting edge”, etc.
Impacts of Advanced Manufacturing:
Increased level of quality
Boost productivity
Gives way to innovation
Reduced production time and cost
One of the main advantages
of advanced manufacturing technology is
quality enhancement
Advanced manufacturing
technologies help boost
operational productivity in various ways. …
Small batch production Rapid prototyping
digital manufacturing helps to
Reduce production time and cost
What is a manufacturing process?
Manufacturing as a transformation process, manufacturing does not equal production
Multiple manufacturing processes are needed to
produce a product in most cases
A simple classification of manufacturing processes into three categories:
Deformative
Subtractive
Additive
Polymers manufacturing is a
subset of Deformative Manufacturing
Deformative manufacturing represents processes where
where we transform the material from Form A to Form B without the addition or subtraction of material
The fundamental concept of Deformative manufacturing is
is that the volume of materials remains unchanged throughout the process
Forging, Rolling, Casting are examples of
Deformative Manufacturing
Subtractive manufacturing represents processes where
we transform the material from Form A to Form B by subtraction of material
The fundamental concept of Subtractive manufacturing is
that we reduce the volume of materials throughout the process
Milling, Drilling, Turning are examples of
Subtractive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing represents processes where
we transform the material from Form A to Form B by addition of material
The fundamental concept of Additive manufacturing is
is that we augment the volume of materials throughout the process
SLS, SLA, FFF, DED are examples of
Additive Manufacturing
We obtain products (and sub-products) by performing
assembly operations on individual parts
Mechanical joining, welding and bonding are examples of
Assembly Operations
Manufacturing enable a progression of materials from an
initial shape to a net shape
The different processes transforms the
initial shape into multiple intermediate shapes
Only when the shape is ‘almost’ as intended we classify it as a
near net shape
Final output is the
net shape or the finished part
Industry 1.0

Industry 1.0 stands for the
mechanization of production in contrast to manual processing
The transformation of energy sources to produce goods
highlights the first era in manufacturing evolution
Industry 2.0
19th century
Industry 2.0 stands for
the mass production of products
This has been particularly encouraged by the arming race between countries
Industry 2.0
It led mass production of airplanes, transportation vehicles in parallel to civil goods
Industry 2.0
Industry 3.0
’70s in the 20th century
Industry 3.0 stands for
the introduction of automation, robotics and computers into manufacturing
Computer Aided Manufacturing is one of the direct results of this era as well as the replacement of humans in hazardous working conditions by robotic arms
Industry 3.0
Industry 4.0
Apply information and communication
technologies to industry
Industry 4.0 stands for
the integration of cyber- physical systems and the digital transformation of industries
integration of cognitive manufacturing
smart systems that analyze and interpret data– is offering new insights and abilities for next generation industries
The development of materials and man’s ability to process them is linked to
the history of man
(Stone Age (8700 BC and 2000 BC)
Copper and Bronze Age (3000 BC and 1200 BC)
Iron & Steel Age (1200 BC and 600 BC))
The current age is that of
plastics, composite materials, and exotic alloys
Alloys are
-Materials composed of two or more different elements -Major component is a metal, not a chemical compound
Ferrous metal alloys:
- Cast Iron > 2% Carbon
- Steel < 2% Carbon
Plan carbon steel
- Low-carbon (< 0.2% C)
- Medium-carbon (0.2%~0.5% C)
- High-carbon (>0.5% C)
Alloy steel
- Stainless steel (low-carbon steel with 4% to 6% chromium) -Tool Steel
- Others
Non-Ferrous metals and alloys:
- Copper alloys
- Titanium alloys
- Aluminum alloys
- Zinc based alloys
- Etc.
Non-ferrous metals and alloys have properties that are not available in the ferrous metal alloy, such as:
- Easy to fabricate
- High electrical and thermal conductivity
- Light weight
- Resistance to corrosion
Blast Furnace ——>
includes: - Iron Ore
• Limestone, Coke • Hot Gases
goes to: Pig Iron
Basic Oxygen Furnace ———>
includes; -Jet of oxygen, -Usage of scrap iron
goes to: Steel/cast Iron
——> Molding
-Ingots
• Continuous Casting
Polymers are
chains of monomers grouped together
We identify three categories of polymers:
Thermoplastics, Thermosets and Elastomers
Thermoplastics are
commercially the most important and have over 70% of the polymer market share
There is a wide range of
natural and synthetic polymers
Natural polymers
exist in flora and fauna
Natural polymers include
proteins, cellulose, and natural rubber
Synthetic polymers ______
are derived mainly from mineral oil, natural gas, and coal. They include among others nylon, polyethylene, phenolics, and epoxies.
General common term for a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic amorphous solid materials.
Plastic
-Light weight Corrosion resistance Electrical resistance Low thermal conductivity Variety of optical properties Surface finish Comparatively low cost (in material manufacturing and processes)
Characteristics of plastics
A polymer with both viscosity and elasticity and
with weak intermolecular forces
-Rubber
Elastomer
Thermoplastics (Thermoplastic materials)
-Tend to be flexible and tough Soften with increasing temperature Become harder and stronger when cooled Can be cast, injected into a mold, or forced into (through) dies to produce a desired shape Scrap can be re-melted and reused
Thermosets (Thermosetting materials)
-Significantly stronger and more rigid
Have lower ductility and poorer impact properties
Elevated temperature promotes irreversible reaction
Additional heating do not produce softening
“Set under heat and cannot be re-melted.”
A ceramic is
an inorganic, non-metallic solid prepared by action of heating and subsequent cooling
Crystalline ceramics and glass constitutes
the
two categories of Ceramics
Crystalline ceramics includes
traditional ceramics such as pottery, and advanced ceramics such as tungsten carbide
Glass is a
non-crystalline amorphous solid with widespread usage
General Properties of Ceramics
-Hard, brittle, high melting point Low electrical and thermal conductivity Low thermal expansion Good chemical and thermal stability High elastic modulus High compressive strength
A composite material is composed of
two or more different materials
-These two or more different materials form a new material with enhanced properties
Composites consists typically of two phases:
Forming and Strengthening
The forming phase,
labeled as matrix/resin, provides the formability and ductility property
The strengthening phase,
labeled as reinforcement/fibers, provides the strength to the final part
Fiber/Filament
Reinforcement:
-High Strength
High Stiffness
Low density
Carbon, Glass, Aramid, etc.
Matrix:
-Good shear properties
Low density
Thermoset & thermoplastic
Epoxy, Polyester, Nylon, etc.
Composite:
-High Strength High Stiffness Good shear properties Low density Anisotropic!
General properties of composites
-Two or more constituent materials
Can be stronger than steel, lighter than aluminum, and stiffer than titanium;
Low thermal conductivity, good heat resistance
Good fatigue life
Low corrosion rates
Adequate wear resistance
is one of the earliest manufacturing
processes used by humans
Forging
is also one of the earlier manufacturing
processes
Casting
Types of forging:
- Cold working (CW)
- Warm working (WW)
- Hot working (HW)
Shaping of material at room temperature (below recrystallization temperature)
Cold working (CW)
What is the Positive effect of cold working?
Work hardening (strain hardening) strengthens metal through plastic deformation (but, material becomes more brittle)
Shaping of material elevated above room temperature but below recrystallization temperature
Warm working (WW)
Trade-off between hot and cold working
Warm working (WW)
Shaping of material above the recrystallization temperature but below melting temperature
Hot working (HW)
What is the Positive effect of hot working?
Properties (e.g., toughness, ductility, elongation) improve / less force required to transform ingots
Shaping of material above the recrystallization temperature and melting temperature
Casting
