Module Aims
|
To objective is to impart familiarity with various manufacturing processes and competency in applying theoretical methods to optimise process parameters as applied to designing tools and selecting machines.
|
|
Learning Outcomes
|
The students will be able to:
7 Identify and understand basic manufacturing processes, their uses, and limitations.
7 Identify advanced manufacturing problems and optimise them using analytical techniques.
7 Quantitatively and qualitatively describe the complex interrelationships between design and manufacturing.
7 Quantitatively and qualitatively describe the complex interrelationships between materials behaviors and suitable manufacturing processes.

Indicative Syllabus
|
|
· Review of materials properties, deformation behaviours, and failure modes.
· Casting, sinter forming, squeeze casting, metal forming, MMC's, joining and non-conventional manufacturing processes.
· Influence of thermal, elastic, and strength properties on tool design and manufacturing process costs, efficiency, and quality.
· Analysis of material forming operations and calculation of the associated machine loads and energy requirements, e.g. analythical, upper bound, slip line field methods.
· Selection of appropriate coating and surface enhancement processes and their limitations.
· Tolerances associated with machining operations.
· Simulation of casting procedures and mould design.
· Near net shape forming and principles.
