TA202 A Lecture 1
Manufacturing Systems Approach
Definition of Manufacturing Technology:•Manufacturing technology provides the tools that enable production of all
manufactured goods. These master tools of industry magnify the effort of
individual workers and give an industrial nation the power to turn raw materials into the affordable, quality goods essential to today’s society.
•Manufacturing technology provides the productive tools that power a growing,
stable economy and a rising standard of living. Thus manufacturing process really represents adding value to a raw material and creation of wealth.

Casting Processes
• These are the only processes whereliquid metal in used.
• Casting is the oldest known manufacturing process.
• It requires preparation of a cavity usually in a refractory material to resemble
closely to the object to be realized. • Molten metal is poured into this
refractory mould cavity and is allowed to solidify.
• The object after solidification is removed from the mould.
Forming Processes
• These are solid state manufacturing processes involving minimum amount of material wastage and faster production.
• Metal is heated to a temperature which is slightly below the solidus temperature and then a large force is applied such that the material flows and take the desired shape.
• The desired shape is controlled by means of certain tools called dies which may be completely or partially closed during manufacture.
• These processes are normally used for large scale production rates.
Rolling Process
Drop forging
Extrusion
Fabrication processes
• These are secondary manufacturing processes where the starting raw materials are processed by any of the previous methods.
•It essentially involves joining pieces either temporarily or permanently so that they would perform the necessary function.
•The joining can be achieved by both heat and pressure and / or a joining material.
Gas Welding
Arc Welding
Material Removal Processes
• These are also secondary manufacturing processes where the additional unwanted material is removed in the form of chips from the blank material by a harder tool so that a final desired shape can be obtained.
• Material removal is the most expensive manufacturing process because more energy is consumed, and also a lot of waste material is generated in the process.
Turning Milling Shaping Drilling Grinding Sawing
Why Machining ?
1. Finishing Requirements of Parts:
• Parts manufactured by casting, forming, and various shaping
processes require further finishing before they are ready for
use or assembly.
2. Interchangeability of parts:
• Sometimes in many engineering applications
interchangeability of parts is needed for which specific
tolerances, dimensional accuracy and surface finish are vital.
3. Specific and complex geometries and accuracy in assembly:
• Machining involves the removal of some material from the
work piece in order to produce a specific geometry at a
definite degree of accuracy and surface quality.
