Slide 1: Materials Science and Manufacturing Process

  • Manufacturing - Technologically

    • Application of physical and chemical processes to alter the geometry. properties, and/or appearance of a starting material to make parts or products

  • Manufacturing as a technical process

    • Starting material → Manufacturing Process → Processed Part or Scrap and Waste

  • Manufacturing process

    • Machinery, Tooling, Power, and Labor

  • Manufacturing - Economical

    • Starting Material → Material in Processing (value added) → Processed Part

  • Manufacturing Capability

    • Consists of processes, people, and systems designed to transform a certain limited range of materials into products of increased value

  • Three building blocks of modern manufacturing

    • Materials, Processes, and Systems

  • Manufacturing capability includes:

    • Technological processing capability

    • Physical product limitation

    • Production capacity

  • Three generic perspectives on How New Products Are Made

    • Business Development Perspective

    • Company Perspective

    • Product Development Perspective

  • Solidification Processes

    • Starting work part is shaped by application of forces that exceed the yield strength of the material

      • Ex. Forging and Extrusion

  • Deformation Processes

    • Starting material is heated sufficiently to transform it into a liquid or highly plastic state

      • Ex. Metal Casting and Plastic Molding

  • Material Removal Processes

    • Excess material removed from the starting piece so what remains is the desired geometry

      • Ex. Machining: Turning, drilling, and milling; Grinding and Nontraditional Processes

  • Manufacturing Engineering

    • Efficient use of Resources

      • Machinery, Tooling, Power, Labor

    • Quality

      • Excite Customers, Minimize Variation
