Fundamentals of Manufacturing Processes
1
Purpose of Manufacturing
• Making useable products for human being having
required attributes
– size and shape
– Surface finish and controlled tolerance
– Properties and characteristics for prolong life
2
Fundamental Approaches of
Manufacturing
• Primary shaping: casting, forming, powder metallurgy
• Joining: brazing, soldering and welding
• Material removal process: metal cutting, unconventional
machining
• Regenerative processes: layer by layer approach
• Super-finishing processes: lapping, honing, polishing
• Improving properties: heat treatment, coating, case hardening
3
Regenerative process
• Production of solid products using layer-by-
layer approach of raw material
– Liquid: stereo-lithography
– Power: selective sintering
– Sheet: laminated objects
– Wire: fused deposition
It uses CAD, CAM and Rapid Prototyping systems

Casting
BASIC REQUIREMENTS
• Mold Cavity
• Melting Process
• Pouring Technique
• Solidification Process
• Mold Removal
• Cleaning, Finishing, and Inspection
Forming
6
Joining
• A positive (addition) process used for
assembling different members to get
desired the configuration. FUSION WELD
• Joint can be temporary or permanent in
nature produced by mechanical or atomic
bond.
BRAZE WELD
MECH. JOINTS SOLDERING
Machining
• Machining: A subtractive process
used to get desired shape, size, and
finish by removing surplus material
in the form of chips by a cutting
tool and by providing suitable
relative motion between the
workpiece and cutting tool
• Cutting tool: removes excess
material
