Introduction Dr. Carolyn Skurla Speaking Slide 2 Process Selection Choice depends on: The material from which the component is to be made. The size, shape, and dimension tolerances for the component. The number of components to be manufactured. Slide 3 Process Selection Each process is characterized by: The materials it can handle. The shapes it can make and the dimension tolerances it can achieve. The complexity and size of the shape it can make. The effect the process has on the material s properties. Slide 4
Process Selection Finding the between design requirements and process attributes Iterative procedure Interaction between function, material, shape, and process are taken into account.

Deformation Processing Forging Example Closeddie forging A heated blank is placed between 2 halves of a die A single compressive stroke squeezes the blank into the die to form the part.

The waste material, called flash, is removed later.

Manufacturing Methods Sample Problem Based on your notes from Lecture 9, match the following items to be manufactured with the manufacturing process. Note some methods may be used more than once and some possibly not at all!! 500 items of steel; complex shape; rough surface A. Die casting finish acceptable Aluminum for window frames B. Blow molding 50,000 large gears of steel; simple shape; good C. Rolling surface finish required 25,000 items of aluminum; simple shape; good D. Sand casting surface finish required Structural I-beams of steel E. Forging 10,000 ceramic components F. Injection molding 100,000 plastic bottles G. Extrusion Copper pipes for household plumbing H. Powder sintering 100,000 small, plastic gears for a toy; good surface finish required, simple shape
