Manufacturing processes are the steps through which raw materials
are transformed into a final product. The manufacturing process
begins with the creation of the materials from which the design is
made. These materials are then modified through manufacturing
processes to become the required part.
Forming, or metal forming, is the metalworking process of
fashioning metal parts and objects through mechanical
deformation; the work piece is reshaped without adding or
removing material, and its mass remains unchanged.
CHARACTERISTICS:
Large, heavy and expensive machinery is required.
Production runs with many parts and steps.
FORMING
COMPRESSIVE TENSILE BENDING SHEARING
It involves those processes where the primary means of metal
deformation is done. It includes the following processes:
ROLLING
EXTRUSION
The material is passed through a pair of rollers.
The material is forced through an orifice.
DIE FORMING
FORGING
Where the material is stamped by a press around or
onto a die.
Where the material is shaped by localized compressive
forces
Tensile forming involves those processes where raw material is
extended to a point till it fractures.
EXPANDING
STRETCHINGWhere the tensile load is applied along the longitudinal
axis of the work piece.
Where the circumference of a hollow body is
increased.
This category of forming processes involves those operations where it
involves both tensile stresses and compressive loads.
DEEP DRAWING
A flat sheet metal blank is formed into a
hollow body open on one side or a hollow
body is formed into a hollow body with a
smaller cross-section.
METAL SPINNING
FLANGE
Basically a metal disk or cylinder is rotated at
high speed by using specially designed tool
through which symmetric product are formed.
It is a process of producing protruding rim,
edge, rib, or collar, as on a wheel or a pipe
shaft, used to strengthen an object, hold it in
place, or attach it to another object.
Bending is a manufacturing
process that produces a V-
shape, U-shape, or channel
shape. Similar to other
forming processes it does not
cause any change in the
volume of the material.
Usually this sheet metal bending process can be carried out
cold but may require to heat the metal sometimes.
When a great enough shearing
force is applied, the tensile stress in
the material will exceed the ultimate
strength and the material will fail and
separate at the cut location.
Shearing is also known as die cutting and cuts the stock without
the formation of chips or the use of burning or melting. The
process can be performed manually or through electric power.
Gravity die casting Process
In this reusable metallic molds are used for creating the
mold cavity where molten metal are poured without
applying any force or pressure other than gravity.

push the molten metal to be fill the heated metallic mold cavity.
Ideal applications- Small complex mass produced by
aluminum alloy or other similar metals.
Advantages:
Less porosity
Very less wastage
Good surface finish
Less post casting operation required

components by changing the dies.
Disadvantages:
High equipment and tooling costs
What is MACHINING?1. MACHINING IS ANY OF VARIOUS PROCESSES IN WHICH A PIECE OF RAW MATERIAL IS
CUT INTO A DESIRED FINAL SHAPE AND SIZE BY A CONTROLLED MATERIAL-REMOVAL PROCESS.
2. MACHINING IS A PART OF THE MANUFACTURE OF MANY METAL PRODUCTS, BUT IT CAN ALSO BE USED ON MATERIALS SUCH AS WOOD, PLASTIC, CERAMIC, AND COMPOSITES.
Machining tools1. Boring tools: These are typically used as finishing equipment to enlarge holes previously cut
into the material.
2. Cutting tools: Devices such as saws and shears are typical examples of cutting implements.
They are often used to cut material with predetermined dimensions, such as sheet metal, into a
desired shape.
3. Drilling tools: This category consists of two-edged rotating devices that create round holes
parallel to the axis of rotation.
4. Grinding tools: These instruments apply a rotating wheel to achieve a fine finish or to make
light cuts on a work piece.
5. Milling tools: A milling tool employs a rotating cutting surface with several blades to create
non-circular holes or cut unique designs out of the material.
6. Turning tools: These tools rotate a work piece on its axis while a cutting tool shapes it
to form. Lathes are the most common type of turning equipment
1. Boring 2. Drilling
3. Thread Cutting
4. Grooving
What is CNC
Machining ?Computer numerical control Machining it is a automated
process.
It requires software and
programming, usually in the G-
code language, to guide a
machining tool in shaping the
workpiece according to preset
parameters.
Advantages1. High production cycles: Once the CNC machine has been properly coded, it
usually needs minimal maintenance or downtime, allowing for a faster production rate.
2. Low manufacturing costs: Due to its turnover speed and low manual labor
requirements, CNC machining can be a cost-efficient process, particularly for high-volume
production runs.
3. Uniform production: CNC machining is typically precise and yields a high level of
design consistency among its products.
CASTING
What is Casting?
Casting is a manufacturing process by which a liquid material is
usually poured into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The solidified part is also
known as a casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mold to
complete the process. Casting materials are usually metals or
various cold setting materials that cure after mixing two or more
components together; examples are epoxy, concrete, plaster and clay. Casting is most often used for
making complex shapes that would be otherwise difficult or
uneconomical to make by other methods.
Types of Casting
Casting ProcessIt is the oldest
manufacturing process in
which liquid molten metal is poured into a perforated
casting cavity of refractory
material. Allow liquid metal
to solidify, after solidification
the casting metal can be
taken out by breaking the
mould. Casting process is
used to produce
components such as
pistons, mill rolls, wheels, cylinder blocks, liners,
machine tool beds.
AdvantagesAdvantages of casting process:
• Molten metal flows into ant small section in molten cavity, hence any complex
shape can be easily produced.
• Practically any type of material can be casted.
• Ideal method is by producing small quantities
• Due to small cooling rate from all directions, the properties of casting are same in
all directions.
• Any size of casting can be produced like up to 200 tonnes.
• Casting is the often cheapest and most direct way of producing a shape with
certain desired mechanical properties.
• Certain metals and alloys such as highly creep resistant metal-based alloys for gas
turbines cannot be worked mechanically and can be cast only.
• Heavy equipment like machine leads, ship’s propeller etc. can be cast easily in the
required size rather than fabricating them by joining several small pieces.
• Casting is best suited for composite components requiring different properties in
different direction. These are made by incorporating preferable inserts in a casting.
For example, aluminium conductors into slots in iron armature for electric motors,
wear resistant skins onto shock resistant components.
Limitations
• With normal casting process
the dimensional accuracies
and surface finish is less.
• Defects are unavoidable.
• It is labor intensive.
Joining:-
Why do we need joining?
To restrict some degrees of freedom of motion for components (i.e. to make
mechanisms).
(a) A complex shaped component may be impossible/expensive to
manufacture, but it may be possible/cheaper to make it in several parts and
then join them.
(b) Some products are better made as assemblies, since they can be
disassembled for maintenance.
(c) Transporting a disassembled product is sometimes easier/feasible
compared to transporting the entire product. A good example of this is the
beautiful TsingMa bridge of Hong Kong; individual sections were fabricated,
raised to the correct position, and then welded/riveted together to construct
the structure.
Joining
Process
Welding Brazing and
Soldering
Adhesive
bonding
Welding:-
In the welding process, two or more parts are heated and
melted or forced together causing the joined parts to
function as one.
Brazing:-
During the brazing process a filler metal is melted and distributed in
between multiple solid metal components after they have been
heated to the proper temperature. The filler metal must have a
melting point that is above 840 degrees Fahrenheit but below the
melting point of the base metals and the metal must also have high
fluidity and wettability. No melting of the base metals occurs during
brazing.

Adhesive bonding is a low cost process that normally has
100% material utilization. In adhesive bonding a filler
material called an adhesive is used to hold multiple
closely spaced parts together through surface
attachment. The adhesive is a nonmetallic substance
often it is a polymer.

1. Hard Materials can be Machined.2. Complex Profile can be Created.3. Very Good Surface can be Achieved.
Fusion Welding
Fusion welding is a generic term for welding processes that rely upon melting to join materials of similar compositions and melting points. Due to the high-temperature phase transitions inherent to these processes, a heat-affected zone is created in the material (although some techniques, like beam welding, often minimize this effect by introducing comparatively little heat into the workpiece.
Advantage:
Variety of materials can be chosenVariety of welding design can be Chosen
Oxy-fuel welding (commonly called oxyacetylene welding, oxy welding, or gas welding in the U.S.) and oxy-fuel cutting are processes that use fuel gases and oxygen to weld and cut metals, respectively. French engineers Edmond Fouché and Charles Picard became the first to develop oxygen-acetylene welding in 1903. Pure oxygen, instead of air, is used to increase the flame temperature to allow localized melting of the work piece material (e.g. steel) in a room environment. A common propane/air flame burns at about 2,000 °C (3,630 °F), a propane/oxygen flame burns at about 2,500 °C (4,530 °F), and an acetylene/oxygen flame burns at about 3,500 °C (6,330 °F).
Oxy-fuel welding

1.Less equipment Cost.2.Portable equipment.3.Easy to Operate.
Powder metallurgy is the process of blending fine powdered materials, pressing them into a desired shape or form (compacting), and then heating the compressed material in a controlled atmosphere to bond the material sintering. The powder metallurgy process generally consists of four basic steps: powder manufacture, powder blending, compacting, and sintering. Compacting is generally performed at room temperature, and the elevated-temperature process of sintering is usually conducted at atmospheric pressure. Optional secondary processing often follows to obtain special properties or enhanced precision. The use of powder metal technology bypasses the need to manufacture the resulting products by metal removal processes, thereby reducing costs.Powder metallurgy is also used in "3D printing" of metals.
Powder Metallurgy
Advantage:
Very less Machining operation required after the Components are Produced
Rate of Production is very high.
Scrap wastage is very less.
