Manufacturing Industries and Products MATERIALS IN MANUFACTURING
Industry consists of enterprises and organizations
that produce or supply goods and services. Metals – usually alloys, are composed of two or
more
Categories: elements, with at least one metallic element.
Primary industries – cultivate and exploit natural Two basic groups:
resources, such as agriculture and mining. 1. Ferrous – are based on iron, which
Secondary industries – take the outputs of the includes steel (0.02%-2.11% carbon) and
primary industries and convert them into consumer cast iron (2%-4% carbon). Pure iron has
and capital goods. limited commercial use, but when alloyed
Tertiary industries – constitute the service sector of with carbon, iron has more uses and greater
the economy. commercial value.
2. Nonferrous – include other metallic
elements and their alloys like pure metals
and alloys of aluminum, copper, gold,
magnesium, nickel, silver, tin, titanium, zinc,
and other metals.

Ceramic – is a compound containing metallic (or


semi-metallic) and nonmetallic elements. Typical
non metallic elements – oxygen, nitrogen,
Carbon
Traditional ceramics:
1. Clay – used in making bricks
Two major classes of final products:
2. Silica –basis for nearly all glass products
1. Consumer goods – to consume immediately/ for
3. Alumina and silicon carbide – abrasive materials
self usage. products purchased directly by
for grinding
consumers, such as cars, tires, and personal
computers.
Newer ceramics include:
2. Capital goods – used to create or produce for
1. Carbides – used as cutting tool materials like
businesses. are those purchased by companies to
tungsten carbide and titanium carbide
produce goods and/or provide services. These
2. Nitrides – used as cutting tools and grinding
include aircraft, computers, medical apparatus, and
abrasives
construction equipment. Most of these capital
goods are used by service industries
For processing purposes, ceramics can be divided
into:
MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS:
1. Crystalline ceramics – from powders then fired
1. Material
2. Glasses – melted and casted, then formed
2. Components
(process
3. supplies
i.e. traditional glass blowing)

Polymer – is a compound formed of repeating

structural units called mers, whose atoms share
electrons to form very large molecules. Usually
History of Materials

process them is linked to the history of man

3. Elastomers- exhibit significant elastic behavior,
process.
e.g. natural rubber, silicone, and polyurethane.
Composites– do not really constitute a separate
category of materials; they are mixtures of the other
three types. These consist of two or more phases
that are processed separately and then bonded
together to achieve properties superior to those of
its constituents.

Phase - homogeneous mass of material, such as


an aggregation of grains of identical unit cell
structure in a solid metal.

Matrix – usual structure of a composite, consists of


particles or fibers of one phase mixed in a second
phase. Example applications are boat hulls, tennis
rackets, fishing rods, car bodies, and aircraft
components.

Manufacturing Processes

Material Removal
Common machining operations (mostly applied to
solid metals):

1. Turning – single-point cutting tool removes metal


from a rotating workpiece to reduce its diameter
2. Drilling – rotating drill bit is fed into the work to
create a round hole
3. Milling – workpart is fed past a rotating cutter
with multiple edges
4. Grinding - the reduction of something to small
particles or powder by crushing it.

How are they converted?


Thermal Processing - steelmaking,
smelting.
Chemical Processing - polymer
formation, papermaking.
Mechanical Processing - lumber
manufacturing, crushing rock.

SECONDARY PROCESSING
1. Casting and molding - Pouring or forcing
liquid material into a prepared mold. It
solidifies then is removed from the mold.
2. Forming - Using force to cause a material to
take permanent shape, using a die, mold, or
roll.
3. Separating - Converting a material to size
and shape by removing excess material
through cutting or shearing.
4. Conditioning - Using heat, mechanical force
or chemical action to change the internal
properties of a material. DRYING, HEAT
TREATING, FIRING.
5. Assembling - Temporarily or permanently
holding two or more parts together
6. Finishing - Protecting and/or adding beauty
to the surface of a material.
