TOPIC- DEFINITION AND
IMPORTANCE OF
MANUFACTURING TOWARDS
TECHNOLOGIC AND SOCIAL
DEVELOPMENT
MANUFACTURING
Manufacturing is the process of turning basic materials into more valuable
commodities in big quantities. Manufacturing industries in the secondary
sector are those that produce finished goods from raw materials.
IMPORTANCE OF MANUFACTURING
Increase in Quality - Quality enhancement is by far one of
the main beneficial components of manufacturing technology. With
production software, humans are needed less in all aspects of
production planning and scheduling, as well as the actual production
process itself. Automation in the creation of schedules and production
line means an optimized schedule that reduced the number of
inefficiencies, defects, and other mishaps. This is because humans are
more prone to error than programmed machines are, so it is obvious
why many production facilities are choosing to use robots and
automation instead of having a large number of workers within the plant.
Cost Reduction - Cost reduction is one of the key goals of
manufacturing technology. This is because of the correction of
inefficiencies and waste being reduced within the production process,
which saves a drastic amount of money in the long run. Manufacturing
technologies improve overall productivity, which increases profit
immensely as well. In addition, technology and automation usually mean
that you require fewer workers in the plant, which is typically the largest
cost incurred by a manufacturing company.
Reduction in Overall Production Time
-The longer the production process is - the more it is going to
cost. Manufacturing technologies drive the production process and get
products out in a much more efficient manner. This is all thanks to
machines automating the process, in which production time is drastically
reduced between product batches, ultimately allowing for the
manufacturing operation to increase profits. In addition, using machines
to automate the production process means that you have a consistent
run rate for production that can be used to more accurately predict when
you can deliver your goods.
CONTRIBUTION OF INDUSTRIES
TO NATIONAL ECONOMY
•Manufacturing’s portion of GDP has remained stable at 17% of GDP, out of a
total of 27% for the industry, which includes 10% for mining, quarrying,
power, and gas.
•India’s GDP is substantially lower than that of several East Asian economies,
which range from 25 to 35 percent.
•Manufacturing has grown at a rate of roughly 7% per year on average over
the last decade.
•With proper government policy interventions and increased efforts by
industry to improve productivity, the desired growth rate over the following
decade is 12%.
•The National Manufacturing Competitiveness Council (NMCC) was
established solely for this purpose.
 Classification of
Manufacturing Process
 Forming

• 1. Forming is the process of applying forces or pressure to material and plastically deforming it to get the desired shape. It
is frequently used with metals. The majority of forming operations may be performed on metals that are either above or
below their recrystallization temperature. This is referred to as hot or cold working. Hot-working makes it easier to bend the
metal plastically. However, cold working results in strain hardening, which enhances the material’s strength. Forging, rolling,
and extrusion is three common forming techniques.
• – Forging: the metal is placed between two closed dies. Repeated hammer strokes shape the metal into the dies. Unlike
cast components, forging generates excellent mechanical properties. Forging, however, requires fine tolerances and
expensive equipment. Junying is a China top company that is capable of making a wide range of custom forged parts
based on your specifications
• – Rolling: a common forming process. It involves rolling metal between two or more rollers that exert pressure and reduce
metal thickness. Rolling may also be used to make complex shapes like I-beams. Rolling improves mechanical properties
and can be mechanized, making it a feasible choice for big volume manufacturing. However, tooling costs might be high,
and it cannot generate complex shapes.
• – Extrusion: a continuous operation that involves heating metal in a chamber and pushing it through a die with a ram.
Extrusion is best suited for two-dimensional shapes and has excellent surface quality.
 Casting
• Casting is the process of putting liquid metal into a mold and allowing it to cool. This is referred to as the main shaping
process. Typically, a secondary operation such as machining is required to provide the appropriate surface polish. Casting,
like forming, is most frequently employed with metals. Die casting, sand casting, and investment casting are the three most
common types of casting.
• – Die casting: a process in which molten metal is pressed under great pressure into reusable metal dies. The molten metal
is removed from the mold once it has hardened. Die casting is primarily used for non-ferrous metals like aluminum and
zinc. However, because of high start-up costs, it is only suited for large production runs.
• – Sand casting: by using a design, you may make a single-use mold from moist sand. The sand is usually confined in the
cope and drag mold boxes. The molten metal is poured into the mold through a sand channel. It may be retrieved from the
sand when the metal has hardened. Many metals, even those with high melting temperatures, can be cast in sand. It can
create big, complicated parts at minimal startup costs, making it suitable for small batches. It produces a rough surface and
is less precise than other casting techniques.
• – Investment casting: a sprue holds several wax patterns of the same item. In this case, the wax tree serves as a ceramic
mold. The wax is melted with heat. The molten metal is poured into the ceramic mold, which cools and breaks off the
casting. Investment casting is ideal for complicated geometries and precise tolerances components. But it is costly and
time-demanding.
 Molding
• Molding is a process that is quite similar to casting. It entails using a mold to shape a liquid or
flexible substance. Molding is frequently used to shape polymers. Injection molding, compression
molding, and blow molding are all common molding methods.
• – Injection molding: the most used plastic production process. Polymer granules are fed into
the hopper, then pushed under pressure into the mold by a screw. Injection molding is most
commonly used for thermoplastics, which soften when heated and solidify when cooled. It is a
quick procedure that can be entirely automated, lowering labor expenses. Due to the high
start-up expenses of the costly molds, it is only cost-effective for big production runs.
• – Compression molding: a specific amount of material is molded. Close the mold and apply
pressure and heat. Mostly used for thermosets, which are polymers that harden when heated.
Tooling costs are inexpensive, making it excellent for short batches, but it is sluggish and not
suitable for complicated designs.
 Machining
• Machining is a material removal technique in which material is removed from
the block material item using a tool. It is frequently used for secondary shaping
after a primary technique like casting has been employed to produce the part.
Machining is a versatile process that may be utilized on a variety of materials,
including metals, polymers, and wood. Drilling, turning, milling, and reaming are
all examples of machining.
• – Drilling is the process of creating a circular hole in a solid object by pushing a
spinning drill bit against it.
• – Turning is the process of shaping a spinning object using a cutting tool.
• – Milling is the process of removing material from a workpiece by advancing a
cutter into it.
 Joining
• Joining is the process of assembling numerous independent components into a bigger
assembly. Joining, like machining, is a secondary process. Joining methods such as
welding, riveting, brazing, soldering, and fastening are all distinct. Welding is a process
that employs extremely high heat to weld disparate metal components together. Unlike
soldering and brazing, welding causes the base metal to melt.
• – Welding is a manufacturing technique that fuses materials, often metals or
thermoplastics, together with by melting them together and allowing them to cool.
• – Riveting: the technique of attaching structural components to one another with rivets,
resulting in a permanently riveted junction.
• – Soldering is a joining technique that involves melting solder to connect several types
of metals together.
 Additive manufacturing
• Additive Manufacturing is a process that includes layering material to create the
desired item. Additive manufacturing processes include 3D printing, selective
laser sintering, and vat polymerization.
• – 3D printing: an object is successfully constructed layer by layer using a
computer. 3D printing is a lengthy procedure with a restricted material selection.
As a result, it is more frequently utilized for prototyping than mass
manufacturing.
• – Selective laser sintering: an additive manufacturing process that utilizes a
laser to sinter powdered material by autonomously directing the laser at places
in space described by a 3D model, therefore bonding the material together to
form a solid structure.
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF
MATERIAL
The mechanical properties of materials define the behavior of
materials under the action of external forces called loads.
1.STRENGTH

Strength of a material may be defined as the ability to

sustain loads without failure or distortion. Material
should have adequate strength when subjected to
tension, compression, shear, etc.

2.STIFFNESS

Stiffness is the capacity of a mechanical system to sustain

external loads without excessive changes of its geometry
(deformations). It is one of the most important design criteria
for mechanical components and systems.
 3.ELASTICITY

Elasticity, ability of a deformed material body to return

to its original shape and size when the forces causing the
deformation are removed. A body with this ability is said
to behave (or respond) elastically.

4.DUCTILITY

Ductility is the ability of a material to sustain a large permanent

deformation under a tensile load up to the point of fracture, or the
relative ability of a material to be stretched plastically at room
temperature without fracturing.
 5.MALLEABILITY

Malleability is the physical property of a solid to bend or

be hammered into another shape without breaking. If
malleable, a material may be flattened into a thin sheet by
hammering or rolling

6.HARDNESS

Hardness is the resistance of a material to localised

plastic deformation. Hardness ranges from super hard
materials such as diamond, boron-carbide to other
ceramics and hard metals to soft metals and down to
plastics and soft tissues.
 7.TOUGHNESS

Toughness is the strength with which the material opposes

rupture. One definition of material toughness is the
amount of energy per unit volume that a material can
absorb before rupturing.

8.BRITTLENESS

Brittleness describes the property of a material that fractures

when subjected to stress but has a little tendency to deform
before rupture. Brittle materials are characterized by little
deformation, poor capacity to resist impact and vibration of
load, high compressive strength, and low tensile strength.
SAND CASTING
Sand casting, also known as sand
molded casting, is a metal casting
process characterized by using sand
as the mold material. The term "sand
casting" can also refer to an object
produced via the sand casting
process. Sand castings are produced
in specialized factories called
foundries. Over 60% of all metal
castings are produced via sand casting
process.
 SAND
MOULDS
A sand moulds may be defined as-a preformed sand container into
which molten metal is poured and allowed to solidify. After casting it
is removed from the sand mould, sand mould is generally destroyed.
The moulds is filled by pouring the molten metal into an opening at
the top of the mould and proper passages are made to allow the
metal to flow to all the parts of the mould by gravity.
TYPES OF PATTERN

1. Solid or single piece pattern

● A pattern that is made without joints, parting or any loose pieces - called a single piece or solid
pattern.
● It is not recommended except for limited production like large and small size castings of simple
shapes.
2. Split pattern
● Most widely used type of pattern for intricate castings.
● Used When The depth of the casting is too high.
● The pattern is split into two parts.
● The two halves of the pattern should be aligned by making use of the dowel pins.
3. Match plate pattern
● Patterns are made in two pieces one piece mounted on one side and the other on other side of plate called
match plate.
● Plate may carry one or group of patterns mounted on match plate.
● Along with pattern gates and runners are also attached.
● Produces accurate castings at faster rates.

4. Multi-piece pattern
● Pattern is split into more than two parts.
● Facilitates an easy moulding and withdrawal of pattern.
● Pattern may consists 3,4 or more numbers depending on designs.
● Used in Lap joints, Dowel joints.

5. Loose piece pattern

● Used when:
● Withdrawal of pattern from mould is not possible.
● Castings is having projections, undercuts and etc.
 ● The obstructing part of the contour is held as loose piece by a wire.
● After the molding -the main part is removed -loose pieces are recovered through the gap.
● Patterns consists of loose pieces for easy withdrawal, These loose pieces form integral part of
pattern during molding, After mold is complete pattern is withdrawn leaving this loose pieces.

APPLICATIONS: Pattern having projections or hanging parts, Rotor hub, Axel pin.

6. Sweep pattern
● It is generally used for preparing large symmetrical castings.
● It is made on wooden board and its sweeps the sand in casting shape all around the circumference.
● Hence it saves lot of labour and time.
● It is used for production of large circular sections and symmetrical shapes.

APPLICATIONS: Symmetrical shapes such as wheels, rims, large kettles of

cast irons & bell shapes.

PATTERN MATERIALS

► Typically, materials used for pattern making are wood, metal

or plastics. Wax and Plaster of Paris are also used, but only for
specialized applications. Sugar pine wood is the most
commonly used material for patterns, primarily because it is
soft, light, and easy to work. Honduras mahogany was used
for more production parts because it is harder and would last
longer than pine. Once properly cured, it is about as stable as
any wood available, not subject to warping or curling. Once
the pattern is built, the foundry does not want it changing
shape.
 Pattern allowances

► A pattern is a replica of casting which is used to make a mold

cavity but it has slightly large dimensions.
► This change in the pattern is due to when the cast solidifies, it
shrinks at some limit due to metal shrinkage property at the
time of cooling.
► So to compensate for this, a pattern is made a little bigger.
► These slight changes in the pattern are known as pattern
allowance.
Types of Pattern Allowances
► There are the following types of pattern allowances are used in
the casting process.
► Shrinkage Allowance: Shrinkage is defined as the reduction
during the cooling or solidification process.
► Draft Allowance: During removing the pattern from the mold
cavity, the parallel surfaces in the direction in which the
pattern is withdrawn are slightly damaged and also converted
into slightly tapered surfaces.
► Machining Allowance :As we know that the product of the
casting process gives a very poor surface finish, so the surface
of the final product of casting always is rough.
► Deformation or Camber Allowance: When the metal is in
the cooling process, stress is developed during the solidifying
of this metal due to uneven metal thickness in the casting
process.
► Shake or Rapping Allowance: a slight shake is required to
remove the pattern from the sand and this will increase the
dimension of the casting slightly.
Moulding Sand
• Moulding sand, also known as foundry sand, is a sand that when
moistened and compressed or oiled or heated tends to pack well and hold
its shape. It is used in the process of sand casting for preparing the mold
cavity.
• Sand used to manufacture a mould for casting process is held by mixture
of sand and clay.
• A typical mixture by volume could be 89% sand,
7% clay and 4% water.
Types of Moulding sand

1. Green sand
2. Dry sand
3. Loam sand
4. Parting sand
5. Facing sand
Green Sand

• Green sand is a mixture of silica sand and clay. It constitutes 18 % to

30 % clay and 6 % to 8 % water.
• The water and clay present is responsible for furnishing bonds for the
green sand.
• It is slightly wet when squeezed with hand and
has the ability to retain the shape and
impression given to it under pressure.
• It is easily available and has low cost.
• It is commonly used for producing ferrous and
non-ferrous castings
Dry Sand

• After making the mould in green sand, when it is dried or baked is

called dry sand.
• It is suitable for making large castings.
• The moulds which is prepared in dry sand is known as dry sand
moulds.
• If we talk about the physical composition of the dry
sand, than it is same as that of the green sand
except water.
Loam Sand

• It is a type of moulding sand in which 50 % of clay is present.

• It is mixture of sand and clay and water is present in such a quantity,
to make it a thin plastic paste.
• In loam moulding patterns are not used.
• It is used to produce large
casting.
Parting Sand

• Parting sand is used to prevent the sticking of green sand to the

pattern and also to allow the sand on the parting surface of the cope
and drag to separate without clinging.
• It serves the same purpose as of parting dust.
• It is clean clay free silica sand.
Facing Sand

• The face of the mould is formed by facing sand.

• Facing sand is used directly next to the surface of the pattern and it comes in
direct contact with the molten metal, when the molten metal is poured into the
mould.
• It possesses high strength and refractoriness as it
comes in contact with the molten metal.
• It is made of clay and silica sand without addition
of any used sand.
Cupola furnace description
A cupola furnace is a type of melting furnace commonly used
for casting metals such as iron, steel, and brass. It consists of a
cylindrical, refractory-lined chamber with multiple tuyeres
(small openings) near the base through which air is blown to
support combustion. The charge (raw materials) is melted by
the heat generated from burning coke or other fuels, and the
molten metal is then tapped off at the bottom of the furnace
through a tapping spout. The cupola furnace is known for its
ability to produce large amounts of molten metal in a single
batch and its relatively low cost of operation.
Operations of Cupola furnace
•The cupola is charged with wood at the bottom.
•On the top of the wood a bed of coke is built.
•Alternating layers of metal and ferrous alloys,
coke, and limestone are fed into the furnace
from the top.
•The purpose of adding flux is to eliminate the
impurities and to protect the metal from
oxidation.
•Air blast is opened for the complete combustion
of coke.
•When sufficient metal has been melted that slag
hole is first opened to remove the slag. Tap hole is
then opened to collect the metal in the ladle.
 SHELL MOLDING
Casting process in which the mold is a thin shell of sand held together by thermosetting
resin binder

Steps in shell‑molding: (1) a match‑plate or cope‑and‑drag metal pattern is heated and

placed over a box containing sand mixed with thermosetting resin.
 SHELL MOLDING

Steps in shell‑molding: (2) box is inverted so that sand and resin fall onto the hot pattern, causing a layer of
the mixture to partially cure on the surface to form a hard shell; (3) box is repositioned so that loose uncured
particles drop away;
 SHELL MOLDING

? Steps in shell‑molding: (4) sand shell is heated in oven for several minutes to
complete curing; (5) shell mold is stripped from the pattern;

?
 SHELL MOLDING

Steps in shell‑molding: (6) two halves of the shell mold are assembled, supported by sand or metal shot
in a box, and pouring is accomplished; (7) the finished casting with sprue removed.
 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

▪ Advantages of shell molding:

▪ Smoother cavity surface permits easier flow of molten metal and
better surface finish
▪ Good dimensional accuracy - machining often not required
▪ Mold collapsibility minimizes cracks in casting
▪ Can be mechanized for mass production
▪ Disadvantages:
▪ More expensive metal pattern
▪ Difficult to justify for small quantities
 DIE CASTING

A permanent mold casting process in which molten metal is injected into mold
cavity under high pressure
▪ Pressure is maintained during solidification, then mold is opened and part is
removed
▪ Molds in this casting operation are called dies; hence the name die casting
▪ Use of high pressure to force metal into die cavity is what distinguishes this
from other permanent mold processes
 DIE CASTING MACHINES

▪ Designed to hold and accurately close two mold halves and keep them closed while liquid metal is forced
into cavity
▪ Two main types:
1. Cold‑chamber machine
2. Hot‑chamber machine
 HOT-CHAMBER DIE CASTING

Metal is melted in a container, and a piston injects liquid metal under high
pressure into the die
▪ High production rates - 500 parts per hour not uncommon
▪ Applications limited to low melting‑point metals that do not chemically
attack plunger and other mechanical components
▪ Casting metals: zinc, tin, lead, and magnesium
 HOT-CHAMBER DIE CASTING

Cycle in hot‑chamber casting: (1) with die closed and plunger

withdrawn, molten metal flows into the chamber (2) plunger forces
metal in chamber to flow into die, maintaining pressure during
cooling and solidification.
 COLD‑CHAMBER DIE CASTING MACHINE

Molten metal is poured into unheated chamber from external melting

container, and a piston injects metal under high pressure into die
cavity
▪ High production but not usually as fast as hot‑chamber machines
because of pouring step
▪ Casting metals: aluminum, brass, and magnesium alloys
▪ Advantages of hot‑chamber process favor its use on low melting‑point
alloys (zinc, tin, lead)
 COLD‑CHAMBER DIE CASTING

Cycle in cold‑chamber casting: (1) with die closed and ram

withdrawn, molten metal is poured into the chamber
 COLD‑CHAMBER DIE CASTING

Cycle in cold‑chamber casting: (2) ram forces metal to flow into die,
maintaining pressure during cooling and solidification.
 ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS

▪ Advantages of die casting:

▪ Economical for large production quantities
▪ Good accuracy and surface finish
▪ Thin sections are possible
▪ Rapid cooling provides small grain size and good strength to casting
▪ Disadvantages:
▪ Generally limited to metals with low metal points
▪ Part geometry must allow removal from die
 CENTRIFUGAL CASTING

• For centrifugal casting, molten metal is introduced into a mould that is rotated
during solidification.
• The centrifugal force improves the feed and filling consistency achieving surface
detail.
• This method has been specifically adapted to the production of cylindrical parts and
eliminates the need for gates, risers and cores.
• The process is typically unsuitable for geometries that do not allow a linear
flow-through of metal.

*
 CENTRIFUGAL CASTING

Setup for true centrifugal casting

*
 ADVANTAGES:

• Centrifugal casting improves homogeneity and accuracy in special circumstances.

• High surface finish.
• Eliminates the need for gating systems.
• High production rate.
Limitations:
• The process imposes limitations on the shape of castings, and is normally restricted to the production
of cylindrical geometric shapes.
• Expensive set-up.

*
Casting defects

► It is an unwanted irregularities that appear in the casting

during metal casting process. There is various reason or
sources which is responsible for the defects in the cast metal.
Here in this blog we will discuss all the major types of casting
defects. Some of the defects produced may be neglected or
tolerated and some are not acceptable, it must be eliminated
for better functioning of the parts.
 Types of casting defects

1. Gas Porosity: Blowholes, open holes, pinholes

2. Shrinkage defects: shrinkage cavity
3. Mold material defects: Cut and washes, swell, drops, metal
penetration, rat tail
4. Pouring metal defects: Cold shut, misrun, slag inclusion
5. Metallurgical defects: Hot tears, hot spot.
 CONCLUSION

► Knowledge of casting defects and causes is essential to

managing casting quality.
► You should set clear defect tolerances and quality expectations
with your suppliers before production to help them understand
your quality standards.
► Defect tolerance can vary between products and types of
casting defects. Determining your tolerance for these casting
defects can help your supplier better understand your
standards and prevent future misunderstandings and quality
issues.
► Ultimately, the manufacturer must strictly control quality of
each casting process. Experienced importers rely on quality
control inspections to limit casting defects in their products
before they leave the factory.

CLASSIFICATION OF
WELDING
 What is welding?

Welding is a fabrication process whereby two

or more parts are fused together by means
of heat, pressure or both forming a join as
the parts cool. Welding is usually used on
metals and thermoplastics but can also be
used on wood.
 Types of welding processes

The four main types of welding are-

🙢 Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW/MIG)

🙢 Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW/TIG)

🙢 Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)

🙢 Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)

 Gas Metal Arc Welding

❖ Gas metal arc welding is a welding process in which

an electric arc forms between a consumable
MIG wire electrode and the workpiece metals, which heats
the workpiece metals, causing them to fuse
❖ A constant voltage, direct current power source is most
commonly used with GMAW
.
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding

❖ Gas tungsten arc welding also known as tungsten inert gas

(TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a
non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld.
❖ The weld area and electrode are protected from oxidation or
other atmospheric contamination by an inert shielding gas
(argon or helium).
Shielded Metal Arc Welding

❖ Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also

known as manual metal arc welding, is a
manual arc welding process that uses a
consumable and protected electrode.
❖ As the electrode melts, a cover that protects
the electrode melts and protects the weld area
from oxygen and other atmospheric gases.
Flux Cored Arc Welding

❖ Flux cored arc welding uses heat generated by

an electric arc to fuse base metal in the weld
joint area. This arc is struck between the
metallic workpiece and the continuously-fed
tubular cored consumable filler wire, with both
the wire and the metallic workpiece melting
together to form a weld joint.
 Types of
welding joints
 Welding joints types

❖ Butt joint welding

❖ Lap joint welding
❖ Tee joint welding
❖ Edge joint welding
❖ Corner joint welding
 Butt joint welding
🙢 A butt weld is one of the simplest and versatile types of
weld joint designs. The joint is formed simply by placing
two pieces of metal end-to-end and then welding along
the join.
🙢 Importantly, in a butt joint, the surfaces of the
workpieces being joined are on the same plane and weld
metal remains within the planes of the surfaces. Thus,
workpieces are nearly parallel and do not overlap, unlike
lap joints.
 Advantages
❑ High strength with complete fusion

❑ Easy to machine

❑ Distortion control

❑ Easy to inspect
 Disadvantages
❑ Welding geometry can limit applications

❑ Fixturing or backing may be required

❑ Sensitive to faying surface conditions

 Lap joint welding
🙢 Lap welding joints are essentially a modified version of the butt joint. They
are formed when two pieces of metal are placed in an overlapping pattern on
top of each other.
🙢 They are most commonly used to joint two pieces with differing thicknesses
together. Welds can be made on one or both sides.
 Advantages
❑ Easy to prepare as it does not require the cut faces to be parallel or perfectly
flat.
❑ It is useful for joining thin metals such as diaphragms and foils.
❑ The metals do not need to be the same level of thickness to be joined.
 Disadvantages
❑ The overlap caused can be undesirable for mechanical or aesthetic reasons.
❑ If the wrong welding speed is used cracks and cavity defects can happen.
❑ The weld can be less rigid than the metals used because it can act as a pivot.
 Tee joint welding
🙢 Tee welding joints are formed when two pieces intersect at a 90° angle. This
results in the edges coming together in the center of a plate or component in
a ‘T’ shape.
🙢 Tee joints are considered to be a type of fillet weld, and they can also be
formed when a tube or pipe is welded onto a base plate.
🙢 With this type of weld, it’s important to always ensure there is effective
penetration into the roof of the weld.
 Advantages
❑ Welded joint has high strength, sometimes more than the parent metal.

❑ Different material can be welded.

❑ It can be automated.
 Disadvantages
❑ Tee joints are not usually prepared with groove, unless the base metal is thick
and welding on both sides cannot withstand the load the joint must support.
❑ A common defect that occurs with tee joints is lamellar tearing—which
happens due to restriction experienced by the joint.
 Edge joint welding
🙢 In an edge joint, the metal surfaces are placed together so that the edges
are even.
🙢 One or both plates may be formed by bending them at an angle.
🙢 The purpose of a weld joint is to join parts together so that the stresses are
distributed.
 Advantages
❑ It can be done very quickly and easily.
❑ Increase production efficiency
❑ Gain proper penetration
❑ Good joint strength
 disadvantages
❑ Due to overlapping parts, this type of joint is more prone to corrosion.

❑ Welders must keep in mind other defects like slag inclusion, lack of fusion
and porosity, which can also occur.
 Corner joint welding
🙢 The corner joint welding is used to join two members that are located at
approximately right angle to each other in the form of a ‘L’.
🙢 The corner welding joint is similar to tee-joints, except that in this, one of the
parts is fitted at the corner of the second part (hence the name, corner joint).
 Advantages
❑ It is an easy to assemble joint.
❑ The edge-preparation for this joint is quite uncomplicated.
❑ It can be used to produce joints in thin as well as thick sections.
❑ It is used for applications that require a square frame such as tanks, box
frames, sheet metal work, etc.
 Disadvantages
❑ One disadvantage of corner joint welding is that it can be difficult to achieve
a good weld. This is because the angle of the weld can make it difficult to get
the right amount of heat and pressure on the metal. This can lead to a weld
that is not strong enough or one that has gaps.
❑ Another downside to Corner Joint Welding is that it can be time-consuming,
especially in open corner joint.

ELECTRIC ARC
WELDING
▪Arcwelding is a group of welding
processes wherein heating is produced
with an electric arc or arcs, mostly without
the application of pressure and with or
without the use of filler metal, depending
upon the base plate thickness.
PRINCIPLE
▪Inarc welding, arc is generated between the
positive pole of D.C. (direct current) called anode
and negative pole of D.C. called cathode. When
these two poles are brought together and
separated for a small distance (1.5 to 3 mm) such
that the current continues to flow through a path of
ionized particles, called plasma, an electric arc is
formed. Since the resistance of this ionized gas
column is high, so more ions will flow from anode
to the cathode. Heat is generated as the ions strike
the cathode.
ARC WELDING
EQUIPMENT
▪The most used equipment's for arc welding are:
▪ A.C. or D.C. power supply source Electrode holder
▪ Electrode
▪ Cable, cable connectors
▪ Cable lug
▪ Chipping hammer
▪ Earthing clamps
▪ Wire brush
▪ Helmet
▪ Safety goggles
▪ Hand gloves
▪ Aprons, sleeves etc.
POLARITY

▪Polarityis defined as the type of potential given to the workpiece or electrode. In

case of direct current (DC.) power source, positive and negative terminals are
fixed whereas in case of alternating current (A.C.) power source, positive and
negative terminals are not fixed i.e., the terminal which is positive during one half
of cycle becomes negative in another half. So, polarity principle is applicable
only in case of direct current power source.
 ELECTRODES

The electrodes are used

for providing heat input in
arc welding. Electrodes
can be classified on the
following basis:

Non-consumable :
Consumable : consumable
electrodes are those Non-consumable
electrodes, which are electrodes are those
consumed during welding. electrodes, which are not
consumed during welding.
 ▪ All instructions supplied by the manufacturer should be strictly followed.
▪ Working area and floor should be kept clean and clear of electrode
stubs, metal scrap etc.
▪ Power supply source should be isolated from the main supply.
▪ Before starting welding, ensure that the welding equipment is properly
earthed
▪ One should not look at an electric arc with naked eye. Use helmet or
hand shield.

PRECAUTIONS IN
▪ Eye trouble may be relaxed by washing with the following solution:
▪ Sodium bicarbonate 340 gm. + purified water 1000 ml.

ARC WELDING
▪ Welder should not leave the electrode holder on the table or in contact
with the metallic surface.
▪ Welder should use goggles with clear glasses while he is chipping off
scale, slag etc.
▪ Welding operation should be carried out in clean, dry, well-ventilated
locations.
▪ Welding cables should be completely insulated. The welding cable
should be flexible, dry, and free from grease and oil, free from repair up
to a minimum distance of 3 m from the electrode holder.
▪ Electrode holder should be soundly connected to the welding lead. Hot
electrode holders shall not be permitted to dip in water because the
retained moisture may cause an electric shock.
ADVANTAGE
▪Affordable cost for equipment and doesn't need much due to the lack of gas.
▪Portability; very easy to transport.
▪Versatile and works well on metal that's dirty.
▪Shielding
gas not necessary, meaning the process can be completed in all types
of weather (including wind or rain)
DISADVANTAGE
▪Lower
efficiency – more waste is generally produced during arc welding than
many other types, which can increase project costs in some cases.
▪High skill level – operators of arc welding projects need a high level of skill and
training, and not all professionals have this.

🙢 Submerged arc welding (SAW) is a
welding process where the tubular
electrode is fed continuously to join
two metals by generating heat
between electrode and metal.

🙢 There is no visible arc and no sparks ,

spatter or fume. The electrode may
be a solid or cored wire or a strip.

🙢 SAW is normally a mechanized

process.
 Process of SAW
❖ Themolten weld and the arc zone are
protected from atmospheric
contamination being “submerged”
under a blanket of granular fusible
flux.
❖ Flux consists of lime, silica,
manganese oxide, calcium fluoride,
and other compounds.
❖ When molten, the flux becomes
conductive and provides a current
path between the electrode and the
work.
❖ This thick layer of flux completely
covers the molten metal thus
preventing spatter and sparks as well
as suppressing the intense spatter and
sparks as well as supressing the
intense ultraviolet radiation and fumes
that are a part of the shielded metal

• Electroslag welding is a type of arc welding process wherein the coalescence is

produced by molten slag which melts the filler metal ans the surface of the
work to be welded electro slag welding is quite similar to vertical submerged
arc welding
 WORKING PRINCIPLE

• 1.Electroslag welding is a grandular flux is placed in the gap between the

plate being welded and as the current is turned on welding take place in a
water cooled copper shoes that bridge amd the gap of the joint as the flux

TYPES OF RESISTANCE WELDING

1. Resistance Seam Welding

2. Resistance Projection Welding
3. Precussion Welding Operation
 RESISTANCE SEAM WELDING

? The continuous resistance welding between the two plates to be

joined.
? Disc shaped electrodes are used.
? The problem of shunting of electricity is very severe and it cannot
be eliminated.
? To get the required amount of current joint whatever the amount of
current which is bypassing, the corresponding amount of current
has to be increased at the supply conditions itself.
 RESISTANCE PROJECTION WELDING

? The method of joining a projectioned component by using

resistance spot welding operation is called the resistance projection
welding.
? The shape of electrode will be same as the shape of the component
to be joined.
 PRECUSSION WELDING OPERATION

? This is a non-fusion pressure welding.

? End-to-end joining is done so joints are produced.
? No separate electrodes are used- the components
to be joined acts as electrode.
? In this the power supply will be given first so
that the joint can be heated to a temperature
nearly equal to the melting point temperature of
the material so that the material of the joint will
become very soft and atoms present in the
surfaces will more active to share the energy.
? Now stop the power supply and apply the force
percussively.
? It gives lower joint strength and are used for
joining of shafts from end to end.
 APPLICATIONS

? Resistance Seam Welding- Produce leak proof joint required in

small tanks, boilers etc.
? Resistance Projection Welding- Production of nut and bolt.
? Precussion Welding Operation- Welding pipe and tubes.

Hot and Cold working of Metals

The metal-working processes are traditionally divided into hot working and
cold-working processes. The division is on the basis of the amount of heating
applied to the metal before applying the mechanical force.
Hot-working Process is a type of metal forming
process and this distinction is based on the
particular temperature at which the deformation
is carried out. The minimum temperature at which
plastically deformed metals form new grains or
crystals within a specified time is recrystallization
temperature.
 Advantages Disadvantages
Hot working is suitable for bulk Due to oxidation, it leads poor surface
production. finish.
The shape and size of metal can be easily Maintaining and handling the hot work
changed. set up is not easy.
Porosity is considerably reduced. It is not suitable for all types of metals.
Applications The hot working process is used to manufacture different
types of products like tubes, pipes, metal sheets, etc. Different types of products
we encounter daily are manufactured using this method like the many types of
equipment of automobile, aerospace, architecture, home decor, etc.
Cold working is the process of metal forming in which the deformation of metal
occurs below its recrystallization temperature.
Advantage Disadvantage
The cold working procedure produces a It requires a clean and smooth
smooth surface finish. surface.

This produces an accurate dimension of Brittle metals cannot be cold-worked

the parts properly.

Heating of the metal is not required. It requires more powerful equipments.

Applications The cold working process is used to manufacture different
products in industries like large flat sheets, metal tubes, screw heads, riveted
joints, and much more.

 TYPICAL FORGING OPERATION
1)SMITH FORGING:A hammer strikes and deforms a metal on a stationary anvil. In this type of
forging, the metal is never completely confined in the dies—allowing it to flow except for the areas where it is in
contact with the dies.
1.1)FULLERING:Fullering," more generally, refers to any forging process creating a sharp transition
in cross-dimensional area; with care, some types of fullering can be achieved using only hammer and the
edge of the anvil (which acts as the fuller).
1.2)FLATTING: For removing the hammer and corrugation marks and for obtaining a smooth
surface on the job, a flatter or set of hammer is used. This process is known as flatting or setting down
1.3)SWAGGING:Swaging, also pronounced “swedge”, is a metal-forming technique in which the
metal of one part is deformed to fit around another part by either pressing or hammering, or by forcing
the material through a die

2)DROP FORGING:Drop forging is a process that uses a pair of impression dies and a heavy
hammer to form and compress metal bars or billets into complex shapes

3)PRESS FORGING:Press forging is a method of forming a piece of metal into a specific shape by
applying gradual pressure on a shaped die holding the metal

4)MACHINE OR UPSET FORGING:Upset forging involves locally heating a metal bar and
then, while holding it firmly with special tooling, applying pressure to the end of the bar in the direction
of its axis to deform it.

 Rolling of Metal
ROLLING:
It is a deformation process in which thickness of the metal is
reduced by comprehensive forces exerted by 2 opposing rolls.
Rolling works on same as any other metal forming
process. When a compressive force applied by a set
of rolls on ingot or any other product like blooms or
billets, plastic deformation takes place which
decrease its cross section area and convert it into
required shape. These rolls are designed according
to the final product requirement. They are
cylindrical in shape and fitted with the die of the
required shape which to be rolled on blooms or
billets. Rolling can be done in both hot and cold
way.

 ROD DRAWING

Forming process in which the workpiece is

drawn through a tapered shape(die) that
reduces and changes the cross-sectional
area. The workpiece [1] in the form of a bar
stock is cleaned and coated with a lubricant
before processing. One end is inserted
through the die [2] and by a pulling or
tensile force, the entire rod is drawn
through the drawing die which reduces and
changes the rods cross sectional area [3]
 Advantages Disadvantages
1. Good surface finishing
2. Adaptability to mass
1. High energy demand to pull the
production
1. Close dimensional control

2. Improved dimensional 2. Lubricants are required to reduce
properties friction and heat
1. Economical benefits 3. Risk of wear and tear

Uses : Rod and wire products cover a very wide range of applications
which include shafts for power transmission, machine and structural
components, blanks for bolts and rivets, electrical wiring, cables, wire
stock for fences, rod stock to produce nails, screws, rivets, springs and
many others. Drawing of rods from steel rounds is used to produce rods
for machining, forging, and other processes etc.

 Tube Drawing
Tubes produced by extrusion or other process (such as shape rolling)
Also tubes can be reduced in thickness or diameter by tube drawing.
The shape of tubes can be changed by using dies and mandrels with
various profiles

Tube drawing is also similar to wire drawing, except that a mandrel of

appropriate diameter is required to form the internal hole.
Here three arrangements are shown in figure
(a) with a floating plug and
(b) fixe plug drawing
(c) with a moving mandrel
Tube Drawing
 Extrusion

Extrusion is a process where a material

undergoes plastic deformation by the
application of a force causing that material
to flow through an orifice or die. The material
adopts the cross-sectional profile of the die
and if the material has suitable properties,
that shape is retained in the final extrudate.

Extrusion may be continuous (theoretically

producing indefinitely long material) or
semi-continuous (producing many pieces). It
can be done with hot or cold material.
 TYPES OF EXTRUSION

Hot and cold extrusion

Hot extrusion:- Hot extrusion is the production process
used to form special steel profiles with a constant
longitudinal cross-section. It acts through a force called
“compression”.
Cold extrusion:- Cold extrusion can also be defined as the
process of shaping of a cold metal by striking a slug.

Advantages of Extrusion :-
 SHEARING OPERATION
Shearing is also known as die cutting . It is a process that cuts stock(or metal
sheet) without the formation of chips .
Shearing is performed by slicing through a piece of sheet metal with a blade that's
most often affixed to a tool or machine.
Strictly speaking , if the cutting blades are straight then the process is called
shearing ; if the cutting blades are curved then they are shear type operation.

Phases of shearing process :-

1) Contact engaging 2) Penetration stage 3) Fracturing stage 4)Full material
separation
Shearing starts as the punch presses against the sheet metal. At first, cracks form
in the sheet on both the top and bottom edges. As the punch descends further,
these cracks grow and eventually meet each other and the slug separates from
the sheet. A close look at the fractured surfaces will reveal that these are quite
rough and shiny; rough because of the cracks formed earlier, and shiny because
of the contact and rubbing of the sheared edge against the walls of the die.
Advantages
● Incredibly fast, with shearing cutting through sheet metal in just
seconds.
● Creates clean cuts with smooth edges.
● Can be performed on sheet metal in a variety of diameter sizes.

Disadvantages
● Not ideal for low-volume manufacturing applications.
● Exceptionally hard metals like tungsten cannot be sheared.
● May cause deformity in sheet metal.

 Bending opertaion
Bending is a manufacturing process that produces a V-shape, U-shape, or
channel shape along a straight axis in ductile materials, most commonly
sheet metal. Commonly used equipment include box and pan brakes, brake
presses, and other specialized machine presses
Advantage of bending operation
Bending is a cost-effective near net shape process when used for low to
medium quantities. Parts usually are lightweight with good mechanical
properties.
Disadvantage of bending operation
A disadvantage is that some process variants are sensitive to variations in
material properties.
 Application of bending operation
● Agriculture industry: It is useful for Vineyard accessory,
Agricultural Spring, Tractor part
● Furniture industry: It is useful for decoration lamps, bottle
holder, chair frame
● Automotive industry: It has many applications in this industry for
the production muffler hargers with end forming units, single
head or head and collar, headrest frames, bonnet rods, tank
floats, child seat hooks, etc.
● Railway industry: Applications in the railway industry include
railway clips, etc.
● Construction Industry: There a large number of applications in
the construction industry like scaffolding safety hooks, ceiling
 Wire Drawing
Definition :Wire drawing is a metalworking process used to reduce the
cross-section of a wire by pulling the wire through a single, or series of,
drawing die(s)
Applications :There are many applications for wire drawing, including electrical wiring,
cables, tension-loaded structural components, springs, paper clips, spokes for wheels,
and stringed musical instruments.

of the tube.
This process is slow and the area reductions are limited
(lengths of tubes are limited), but it gives the best inner
surface finish of any of the processes.
 METAL SPINNING
Metal Spinning or Spin forming is a metalworking
process by which a disc or tube of metal is rotated at
high speed and formed into an axially symmetric
part. It is usually done with hands of CNC
technology.
Metal Spinning does not involve removal of material,
as in conventional wood or metal turning, but
forming of sheet metal over an existing shape.
It ranges from an artisan’s speciality to the most
advantageous way to form round metal parts for
commercial applications.
ADVANTAGES OF METAL SPINNING

1. Several operations can be performed in one set-up.

2. Changes in part design can often be made through changes
in tooling, particularly if the change is a reduction in size.
3. Smaller amount of waste products produced.
4. Produces products without seams.
5. Assures a higher degree of reliability on parts that have a
structural function.
6. Avoids warping
7. Lead times are usually shorter compared to other tooling
methods.
8. Low-cost tooling

INTRODUCTION TO
METALLURGY PROCESS
▪ What is Powder Metallurgy ?

▪ Powder metallurgy is a manufacturing process that produces precision and highly accurate
parts by pressing powdered metals and alloys into a rigid die under extreme pressure. With
the development and implementation of technological advances, powder metallurgy has
become the essential process for the production of bushings, bearings, gears, and an
assortment of structural parts.
▪ The key to the accuracy and success of powder metallurgy is the sintering process that heats
parts to bond the powder particles . The temperature in sintering is slightly below the
melting point of the primary metal such that the bonds of the powdered particles are bound
together.
INTRODUCTION TO
METALLURGY PROCESS
▪ The Powder Metallurgy Process
▪ The process of powder metallurgy is an ancient, unique method for forming
shapes and designs from ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Powder metallurgy
has been used for thousands of years as a way to produce household items
and tools. It began as a method for mass producing products and parts in the
middle of the first industrial revolution.
▪ Until the early part of the 20th Century, the process was used sporadically but
was not considered to be a viable production method. With the development
of electricity and technological advances, powder metallurgy has found a
place as a highly efficient and productive method for producing parts with
high tolerances and minimal waste.
▪ The four basic steps to the powder metallurgy process are powder
preparation , mixing and blending , compacting , and sintering . These
steps have been used over the centuries to produce a variety of products.
▪ As with any manufacturing process, powder metallurgy has variations to
accommodate the requirements of individual parts. The different methods and
techniques have grown from the development of technological advances and
engineering specifications. Four of the variations are conventional, injection
molding, isostatic pressing, and metal additive manufacturing, which is the
newest advancement.
BLENDING
▪ The term blending refers to the combination of particles of the same chemistry and different
sizes. It involves combining different chemicals to create a new chemical. The chemicals that
are combined can be in various phases such as liquid or powder, organic or inorganic, etc.
Moreover, we can blend these components to get the desired viscosity, pH level,
and filtration level.
▪ Convective blending involves gross movement of particles through the mixer either by a force
action from a paddle or by gentle tumbling under rotational effects.
▪ Diffusion is a slow blending mechanism and will pace a blending process in certain tumbling
mixers if proper equipment fill order and method are not utilized.
▪ Shear mechanism of blending involves thorough incorporation of material passing along
forced slip planes in a mixer.
COMPACTION

▪ The compacting process is the compressing of fine-sized powders between a roll

compactor. The compacted material is then typically reduced in size and screened to
specification.
1) Materials are fed and mixed from the material silo into the compactor. Feed materials are
then pressed together into compacts by roll compactors.
2) The produced compacts are broken into granules and classified into desired particle sizes.
Undersized materials are fed back into the roll compactor while oversize materials are fed
back for further size reduction.
3) Materials of the final desired size and shape are ready for any further finishing, such as
drying or anti-caking agent application, and prepped for final packaging.
Typical compaction and
granulation plants
include special auxiliary
equipment used for
milling, screening,
mixing, de-aeration and
material handling. This
equipment needs to be
properly selected and
designed to ensure
proper operating
conditions and quality
products.
SOIL
COMPACTION
1) Soil compaction occurs
when soil particles are
pressed together, reducing
pore space between them.
Heavily compacted soils
contain few large pores, less
total pore volume and,
consequently, a greater
density.
2) A compacted soil has a reduced
rate of both water infiltration
and drainage. This happens
because large pores more
effectively move water
downward through the soil
than smaller pores.
3) Soil compaction changes pore
space size, distribution and soil
strength
SINTERING
TYPES OF PLASTIC
CHARACTERISTICS OF
FORMING AND SHAPING
PROCESS
▪ Metal forming processes are characteristic in that the metal being
processed is plastically deformed to shape it into a desired
geometry. In order to plastically deform a metal, a force must be
applied that will exceed the yield strength of the material.
▪ This is where material is poured or a liquid is forced into a mould
and then left to harden to take a particular shape. This allows for
complex shapes to form in a single operation. Shaping can be
completed by casting, injection moulding or composite layup.
▪ Solidification processes – starting material is a heated liquid or
semifluid
Particulate processing – starting material consists of powders
Deformation processes – starting material is a ductile solid
(commonly metal)
▪ Material removal processes – starting material is a ductile or brittle
solid
MOULDING OF
THERMOPLASTIC
INJECTION
MOULDING
Injection molding is a forming process using molds.
Materials such as synthetic resins (plastics) are heated
and melted, and then sent to the mold where they are
cooled to form the designed shape. Due to the
resemblance to the process of injecting fluids using a
syringe, this process is called injection molding.
The flow of the process is as follows:
Materials are melted and poured into the mold, where
they harden, and then the products are taken out and
finished . With injection molding, diversely shaped parts,
including those with complex shapes, can be
continuously and quickly manufactured in large volumes.
Therefore, injection molding is used to manufacture
commodities and products in a wide range of industries.
INJECTION MOULDING
▪ Injection Molding Machines
▪ Injection molding machines come in different types,
such as motorized machines driven by servo motors,
hydraulic machines driven by hydraulic motors, and
hybrid machines driven by a combination of a servo
motor and a hydraulic motor. The structure of an
injection molding machine can be briefly
summarized as consisting of an injection unit that
sends the melted materials into the mold, and a
clamping unit that operates the mold.
▪
In recent years, the use of CNC has been
increasingly adopted in injection molding machines,
giving rise to the popularity of models that enable
high-speed injection under programmed control. On
the other hand, a number of specialized machines,
such as models that form the light guide plates for
LCD monitors, are also used.
BLOW MOULDING
▪ Blow molding is a manufacturing process that is used to
produce hollow plastic parts by inflating a heated plastic
until it fills a mold and forms the desired shape.
▪ There are three types of blow molding :
▪ Extrusion Blow Molding
▪ Injection Blow Molding
▪ Stretch Blow Molding
▪ The thermoplastic (in the form of small pellets or granules)
are heated above the melting temperature and molded into a
preform.
▪ This preform is heated above the glass transition
temperature and converted into a hollow tube called parison.
▪ The parison is then clamped between two mold halves and
inflated by high air pressure (60-140 psi) until it conforms to
the inner shape of the mold.
BLOW MOULDING
▪ Advantages :
• Low tooling cost
• Ability to mold complex parts with uniform thickness
• Fast production rate

▪ Disadvantages :
• Limited to hollow parts
• Thick parts can’t be manufactured
• Trimming is required

▪ Application :
• Plastic Bottles
• Automotive Ducts
• Food Storage Container
 ROTATIONAL MOULDING
▪ Rotational Molding

▪ Rotational molding, commonly referred to as "rotomolding", is a plastic casting technique

used to produce large hollow, seamless, and double-walled parts. It is a three-stage process
that involves a mold on a rotating frame, a heating chamber, and a cooling chamber. Molds
for the rotomolding process are specially designed and are capable of producing single and
double wall products.
▪ Process
▪ A hollow mold is filled with powdered plastic resin.
▪ The mold begins rotating bi-axially and is transferred into an oven.
▪ The mold continues to rotate as the resin melts and coats the walls of the mold.
▪ The mold is cooled until the resin hardens into the desired shape.
▪ The rotation is stopped, and the mold is opened to remove the finished part.

▪ Applications of Rotational Moulding

▪ Automotive industry.
▪ Agricultural industry.
 FILM BLOWING
▪ Blown Film Extrusion is an established process which is sued to manufacture a wide range of commodity &
specialized plastic films for the packaging industry. Also known as Film Blowing Process, this extrusion
process generally comprises extrusion of molten thermoplastic tube and its constant inflation to severaltimes
of its initial diameter. This forms a thin, tubular product which may be used directly, or indirectly by slitting it
to create a flat film.
▪ Process of film blowing
▪ The extrusion of plastic melt is done via an annular slit die, generally vertically, for the formation of a thin walled tube. The
introduction of air takes place through a hole present in the die's center for blowing up the tube just like a balloon. The
cooling of the hot film is done by the high-speed air ring that blows onto it. This air ring is mounted on the top of die. Then
following procedures take place:The tube of the film continues its movement upwards (constantly colling) till is is passed via
nip rolls.
▪ Here, the tube is flattened for the creation of “lay-flat” tube of film. Also known as collapsed tube, this lay-flat tube goes back
to the extrusion tower via rollers.On the higher output lines, exchange of air (which is available in the bubble) takes place.
This is called IBS (Internal Bubble Cooling).Then the lay-flat film is kept as it is or its edges are slit off for producing 2 flat film
sheets & wound up onto the reels. If kept as it is, the film's tube is created into bags by the process of sealing all across the
film's width along with cutting or perforating. This process is carried out at a later stage or in line with the process of blown
film
FILM BLOWING
Application of film blowing
EXTRUSION
▪ Blown Film Extrusion is an established process which is
sued to manufacture a wide range of commodity &
specialized plastic films for the packaging industry. Also
known as Film Blowing Process. In the process of Blown
Film Extrusion, the common resins that are used are
Polyethylene's (LDPE, HDPE and LLDPE). Some of these
materials are PP, PP, and EVOH.
▪ Process Of Blown Film Extrusion

▪ The extrusion of plastic melt is done via an annular slit die,

generally vertically, for the formation of a thin walled tube.
▪ The introduction of air takes place through a hole present
in the die's center for blowing up the tube just like a
balloon.
▪ The cooling of the hot film is done by the high-speed air
ring that blows onto it.
▪ This air ring is mounted on the top of die.
 THERMOFORMING
▪ Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet
is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific
shape in a mold, and trimmed to create a usable product. The
sheet, or "film" when referring to thinner gauges and certain
material types, is heated in an oven to a high-enough temperature
that permits it to be stretched into or onto a mold and cooled to a
finished shape. Its simplified version is vacuum forming.
▪ Process
▪ Thermoforming is a common method for producing plastic packaging.
Thermoplastics are the materials used for thermoforming. These
materials include ABS, polystyrene, polycarbonate, PETG, etc. The
choice of material depends on the manufacturing project and the
required characteristics of the produced item.
▪ Thermoforming polymers can be heated and formed repeatedly. They
are pliable and recyclable .
COMPRESSION MOULDING
TRANSFER MOULDING
▪ What is Transfer Moulding?

▪ Transfer moulding is a manufacturing process where casting material is force into a mold
and make the casting.
▪ This is similar to compression moulding but the main difference is that in compression the
mold is enclosed whereas in transfer the mold is open to fill the plunger.
▪ Thermoset polymer, Epoxy resins are some materials which are used in transfer moulding.
TRANSFER MOULDING
▪ Process of Transfer Moulding:
▪ The pre-heated, uncured molding
compound placed in the transfer pot.
▪ The mold is closed up and under hydraulic
pressure, the molding compound is forced
through a small hole into the cavity.
▪ The mold is held closed while the molding
compound cured(thermosets) or
cooled(thermoplastics).
▪ The mold is split to free the product, with
the help of ejector pins.
▪ Any flash or sprue material is trimmed off.
BONDING OF
THERMOPLASTIC
▪ Thermoplastics. Thermoplastics may take on
amorphous or crystalline structures. In
thermoplastics the long chain molecules exist in the
form of linear bonding but are also bonded to each
other by secondary Van Der Waals forces (secondary
bonds).
▪ Joining of thermoplastic composites can be
categorized into mechanical fastening, adhesive
bonding, solvent bonding, co-consolidation, and
fusion bonding or welding. Fusion bonding or
welding has great potential for the joining, assembly,
and repair of thermoplastic composite components.
