Manufacturing Processes Study Notes (Q1–Q11)

Q1: Fundamentals and Metal Cutting


(a) Metal cutting removes excess material by plastic deformation and shearing.
Important factors: Cutting parameters (speed/feed/depth), tool geometry, tool & workpiece
materials.
(b) Manufacturing process: sequence of operations converting raw materials into finished products.
Selection depends on material, shape, production volume, cost, and required finish.
(c) Wire drawing: reduction of rod diameter by pulling through progressively smaller dies.
(d) Surface finish depends on feed, cutting speed, tool geometry, built-up edge, tool wear, and
machine rigidity.

Q2: Chips, Tool Life, and Rolling


Chip types: Continuous, Discontinuous, Continuous with Built-Up Edge (BUE).
Tool life: useful cutting time before wear limit. Influenced by cutting speed, feed, depth,
tool/workpiece material, and cutting fluids.
Taylor equation: VT■=C. Tungsten carbide provides longer life at higher speeds than HSS.
Rolling reduces thickness by plastic deformation between rotating rolls; friction enables biting.

Q3: Extrusion, Forging, and Pressing


Extrusion: Direct and Indirect.
Upset forging increases cross-sectional area (examples: bolt heads, nails, valves).
Blanking: removed piece is product. Piercing: sheet is product.
Mechanical presses: crank-driven and eccentric-driven; used for shearing, bending, and forming.

Q4: Bending, Deformation, and Calculations


Outer fibres in tension; inner fibres in compression.
Cold working: below recrystallization temperature, increases strength.
Hot working: above recrystallization temperature, improves ductility.
Force = Shear strength × Perimeter × Thickness. Work = Force × Penetration.
Flank wear occurs on flank face; crater wear on rake face.

Q5: Joints, Welding, and Fluids


Joints: Butt, Lap, Corner, T, Edge. Welds: Fillet, Groove.
Brazing uses filler above 450°C; riveting is a mechanical fastening process.
Cutting fluids: water-based, straight oils, emulsions, synthetics.
SMAW uses an electric arc; oxy-acetylene uses oxygen and acetylene flame.

Q6: Machine Tools and Cutting


Machine tool: power-driven machining device.
Orthogonal cutting: cutting edge perpendicular to cutting velocity.
Oblique cutting: cutting edge inclined.
Machine tools classified by motion, tool type, or operation.
Tool geometry includes rake angle, clearance angle, nose radius, and cutting-edge angle.

Q7–Q11 Summary
Mechanical bending uses bend allowance calculations.
Deep drawing forms hollow vessels.
Extrusion methods: impact, forward, backward, combined, hydrostatic.
Oxy-acetylene flame types: neutral, oxidizing, carburizing.
Arc welding joins metals by electric arc heating. Plastic welding uses heat/pressure; non-pressure
welding uses fusion.
