Production Quantity
Low production (Q < 100)
Medium production (100 < Q < 10000)
High production (10000 < Q)
Toyota was the world's first automobile manufacturer to produce more than 10 million vehicles per year which it has done since 2012
In 1924, Sakichi Toyoda invented the Toyoda Model G Automatic Loom. The principle of jidoka, which means the machine stops itself when a problem occurs
Manufacturing activities must be responsive to
Design requirement and product specification
Environmentally friendly
Quality
Flexible
Material, Production methods and Computer integration
System
Manufacturing organization must constantly strive for higher levels of quality and productivity
Questions during design and manufacturing paper clips
What type material would you choose to make this product?
Does it have to be metallic or it can be non-metallic? (such as plastic)
If we choose metal, what kind of metal?
If the material that you have start with is wire? What should be its diameter?
Should be it round or have some other cross section?
Is wire surface finish and appearance important?
How we take a piece of wire and shape it into a paper clip? Would you do it by hand or by machine?
Would you have to manufacture from 100- 1000000 paper clips, do you buy it or rent it?
Stiffness
A measure of how much it deflects under a given force
During manufacturing paper clips, there are some important considerations should be consider
Corrosion of material
Finalizing the design and select suitable material which is commercially available
Cost of material
Bending of material without cracking or breaking
Can the wire easy cut from long piece without excising wear on cutting tool
Machining , what is the economical method of manufacturing this product? This depend on production rate and Market competitive (national and inter nation market)
Casting is basically involves pouring metal into a mold cavity where upon solidification, it takes the shape of the cavity
Reasons casting processes are most often selected over other manufacturing methods
Castings are producing complex shapes with internal cavities or hollow section
It can produce very large parts
It can utilize work piece materials that are difficult or uneconomical to process by other means
Casting is competitive with other processes (net –shape manufacturing technologies)
Net-shape and near net-shape manufacturing
A part is made in only one operation at or close to the FINAL desired dimensions, tolerances, and surface finish
The casting process basically involves
Pouring molten metal into a mold patterned after the part to be manufactured
Allowing it to cool
Removing the metal from the mold
Important considerations in casting operation
The flow of molten metal into the mold cavity
The solidification and cooling of the metal in mold
The influence of the type of mold material
Pure metals
It solidifies at constant temperature
Alloys
The solidification begins when temperature drops below the liquidus TL
Freezing range
The width of the mushy zone, where both liquidus and solid phases are present, It is an important factor during solidification. This zone is described in terms of a temperature difference, as TL - Ts
Freezing range
Short freezing range (< 50°C) for example (ferrous casting)
Long freezing range (> 110°C) for example (Aluminum and Magnesium)
Slow cooling rate (on the order of 102 K/s)
Long local solidification time, Coarse dentric structure with large spacing between the dentric
Faster cooling rates (on the order 104 K/s)
Short local solidification time, the structure becomes finer with small dentric arm spacing
Higher cooling rates (on the order of 106 to 108 K/s)
The structures developed are amorphous
The basic casting system
Sprue
Runner
Risers
Gate
Sprue
A vertical channel through which the molten metal flows downward in the mold
Runner
Channels that carry the molten metal from sprue to the mold cavity, or connect the sprue to the gate
Risers
Serve as reservoirs to supply the molten metal necessary to prevent shrinkage during solidification
Gate
That portion of the runner through which the molten metal enters the mold cavity
Function of gating system in sand casting
Trap contaminants (such as oxides and other inclusion) in the molten metal
Avoids or minimizes problems (such as premature cooling, turbulence and gas entrapment)
Bernoulli's Theorem
Based on the principle of conservation of energy, h + p/ρg + v2/2g = constant
