How are metals shaped into 3D products (7)
• Press forming
• Spinning
• Cupping
• Forging
• Bending
• Rolling
• Casting:
Name the 7 Addition and fabrication processes
● Metal inert gas (MIG) welding
● Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding
● Spot welding
● Oxy-acetylene welding
● Soldering (soft and hard)
● Brazing
● Riveting
Name the 6 Wasting processes
● Milling
● Turning
● Flame cutting
● Plasma cutting
● Laser cutting
● Punching/stamping
Press forming
A sheet of metal is placed and the shape presses down on it, so it turns the sheet of metal into a mould
Spinning
There is a mould spinning and a sheet of wood goes over it, and there is a roller tool that presses down, so it fits the mould
Cupping
Cupping and Deep drawing process’ are used to form tube like shapes such as Fire extinguishers and high pressure aerosol cans.
Forging
It’s when you have a metal stick, and you heat up to make it red and smack it to for a shape
Metal inert gas (MIG) welding
It is the welding gun that shoots metal dots to combine things
Spot welding
This welding process is used primarily for welding two or more metal sheets together by applying pressure and heat from an electric current to the weld area.
Oxy-acetylene welding
Gas welding used to permanently weld steel
Soldering
Soldering is a joining process used to join different types of metals together by melting solder.
Brazing
Brazing is a metal-joining process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal into the joint
Temporary joining methods
Screws, nuts and bolts
Milling
Milling is the machining process of using
rotary cutters to remove material.
Flame cutting
Flame cutting is a wasting process that uses oxy-acetylene gas and a specifical flame
This is used to cut low carbon and alloy steel plate.
