Materials and Manufacturing Materials Modern Manufacturing Techniques Techniques for ME1720
This Week: Lecture Common Materials Basic Manufacturing Processes Tool Info and Demonstration Videos Lab Proof of Concept #1 Due Assign Proof of Concept #2 (Due week 9) Software Module 2, week 2 Complete the second assignment/quiz for your software choice (must be the same software as last week)
Software Reminder By popular demand, all tutorials have been made available The tutorial for the current week will be marked by arrows <<< You can work ahead, but you must submit the assignment/take the quiz during the week it is due You cannot submit assignments early, hold onto them until the correct week
My team has decided on our first proof of concept. A. True B. False 0% 0% True False
Today s Topic: Materials and Manufacturing 2 key questions: What is it made of? (and why) How is it made?
Woods Pros: Light, easy to obtain, cheap and easy to work with Cons: Poor tolerances, orthotropic properties, inconsistent, low-strength What you can get here (Meeks, Lowes, Wal-Mart) SPF (spruce-pine-fir group) used for framing lumber (studs) Balsa Hardwoods (oak, walnut, etc.)
Metals Many options: Iron-based (cast iron, steel, stainless), Aluminum, Titanium, Magnesium, Tungsten Pros: High strength, numerous selections and grades, conductivity (thermal, electrical) Cons: Heavy, harder to work with, can be expensive, hard to get exactly what you need here in town
Steel Most common metal used in engineering Many series 10xx Plain carbon 41xx Chrome-moly 43xx Nickel-chrome-moly Stainless (w/chromium) 200, 300 austenitic 400 ferritic 600 (17-2) - martensitic
Aluminum Good strength to weight, easier to machine than steel Wrought (forged), properties vary widely on heat treatment 2024 common, high strength, no weld 6061 high strength, weldable 7075 high strength, no weld Cast xxx.x (150.0, 150.1)
Plastics Bakelite (phenolic) one of the first commercial plastics Polyethylene common household items High density (#2): milk jugs, shampoo bottles, cleaning supply bottles Low density (#4): Plastic bags Polystyrene (#6) foam, food containers Polyvinylchloride (PVC, #3) construction, pipes Nylon household, some engineering applications Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) light, rigid, household products, some engineering, material used in many 3D printers
Ceramics Inorganic, non-metallic materials Typically hard, brittle Formed by heat (chemical reactions, sintering) Clay (pottery, porcelain, etc) Glass (amorphous solid) Cement, concrete
Composites Combinations of materials: Cermets ceramics and metals Fiberglass glass fibers and plastic matrix Carbon fiber carbon + plastic matrix Particle board wood + glue
What material(s) do you intend to use for this project? (multiple answers allowed) A. Wood B. Metal C. Plastic D. Ceramics E. Composites F. All the materials 17% 17% 17% 17% 17% 17%
Manufacturing Processes Subtractive Cutting Milling Turning Additive Welding Rapid prototyping/3d printing Shaping Forging Molding/Casting
Subtractive Milling Manual or automatic (CNC computer numerical control) Cutting Sawing Laser cutting Water jet cutting Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) Turning Lathe, manual or automatic (CNC)
