Properties of Materials
Mechanical Properties: strength, toughness,
ductility, hardness, elasticity, fatigue, creep.
Types of Materials
Ferrous Metals: iron and steel.
Composite materials: reinforced plastics, metalmatrix and ceramic-matrix composites, honeycomb structures.
Automotive: aluminum engine blocks, copper wiring, mag wheels Marine: brass/bronze fittings, bearings, propellers
Defense: brass shell casings Consumer Products: electrical wiring, utensils, jewelry, electronics
Plastics (Polymers)
Compared to metals, plastics have lower density, strength, elastic modulus, and thermal and electrical conductivity, and a higher coefficient of thermal expansion The design of plastic parts should include considerations of their low strength and stiffness, and high thermal expansion and low resistance to temperature.
Plastics: Applications
Architectural: electrical and thermal insulation, weather seals, carpets, wall coverings, paint Aerospace: electrical and thermal insulation, instrument panels,upholstery, seals Automotive: body panels, instrument panels, upholstery, electrical and thermal insulation, seals, hoses, tires
Consumer Products: toys, sporting goods, appliances, tools, utensils, clothing, shoes, packaging
Manufacturing
The Process of Converting Raw Materials Into Products
Design Requirements
Safety and Environmental Concerns
Casting Processes
Introduction of molten metal into a mold cavity; upon solidification, metal conforms to the shape of the cavity.
Die Casting
Sand Casting
Forging Extrusion
Machining Processes
Material removal from a work piece: cutting, grinding, nontraditional machining processes.
Milling
Lathe Machine
Shape Complexity
The shape complexity index is obtained by using a feature based classification system which enables the important design issues. Classification of different shape complexity:A Part envelop is largely a solid of revolution. B Part envelope is largely a prismatic solid. C Flat or thin wall section component.
1. Basic Features
Straight forward processing where the operation can be carried out without a change of setting or the need of complex tooling. Parts are usually uniform in cross section.
2.Secondary features
Same as basic features but where additional processing is necessary or more complex tooling is required.
3.Multi-axis Features
Parts require to be processed in more than a single axis/set-up.
4.Non-uniform Features
Parts require the development of more complex processing techniques.
5.Complex Forms
Parts need dedicated tooling and the development of specialized processing techniques.
6. Single Axis
This is usually the axis along the components largest dimension, however in the case of cylindrical or disc shaped components it is more convenient to consider the axis of revolution as the primary axis.
7. Through Features Features which run along across or through a component from one end or side to the other
8. Important
If the component falls into more than one category, always choose the one that gives highest value of complexity.
