Objectives

This subject provides students with1. machining principles and processes in the manufacturing of precision components and products that use conventional, nonconventional, and surface engineering technologies;

2. a basic understanding of the machining capabilities, limitations, and productivity of advanced manufacturing processes.

b. determine the quality and surface integrity of products treated by surface engineering processes;

c. determine the formability of a given material and geometric combination using fine-blanking processes;d. prescribe a laser materials processing technique suitable for a given product with material, size, precision, and surface quality requirements.

Subject Synopsis/ Indicative Syllabus

1. Overview of Advanced Manufacturing ProcessesOutline of modern processes for the production of precision components: ultra-precision machining, single-point diamond turning, and grinding. Fine blanking. Physicochemical machining processes. Physical and chemical vapour deposition. Laser technology. Electric discharge machining.

2. Precision Removal Processes

Ultra-precision machining, principles and applications, precision plastic optical products. High-speed machining. Micro electric discharge machining. Physicochemical machining, micro-components.

3. Precision Forming

Fine blanking, process mechanisms, capability and quality, dynamic characteristics of equipment, modern developments in related technology.

4. Surface Engineering

Chemical and physical vapour deposition (CVD, PVD), capability and accuracy, distortion and residual stresses, applications in optical and electronic devices.

5. Laser Technology

Teaching/Learning Methodology

The subject is taught through a combination of lectures, laboratory exercises, and tutorial assignments integrated with a mini-project. The lectures introduce the student to in-depth knowledge in the current practices of advanced manufacturing technologies. The laboratory and tutorial exercises provide opportunities for student to learn and practice with guiding materials. Mini-projects promote students ability to conduct a literature search and their self-learning skills.Teaching/Learning Methodologies

The assignments, which are administered periodically throughout the course, are designed to facilitate students to reflect on and apply the knowledge learnt.

The laboratory exercises are designed to assess students problem-solving skills in advanced manufacturing technology (learning outcomes (a) and (b)).

The mini-projects follow a problem-based format and include case studies, presentations, and report writing. They are designed to facilitate students to acquire the relevant knowledge and demonstrate their ability to apply different technologies. The final examination is used to assess students individual achievement in all of the intended learning outcomes.
