1
Do you ever wonder how amorphous lumps of material are turned into the everyday products which surround us?
2
Let's find out.
3
In this video, we're going to talk about manufacturing processes.
4
There are six main categories of manufacturing processes, which are forming, casting, molding,
5
joining, machining, and additive manufacturing.
6
Each one of these categories contains a large number of different manufacturing techniques.
7
There are a lot of different factors which need to be considered when selecting the right manufacturing process.
8
This includes the material you are working with, the geometry of the object, the number of parts you are producing,
9
tool and material costs, and required levels of automation to name just a few.
10
Let's look through each of the six categories in detail.
11
Forming involves applying forces or pressure and plastically deforming the material to produce the desired shape.
12
It is typically used for metals.
13
Most forming processes can be done when the metal is either above or below its recrystallization temperature.
14
This is known as hot or cold working.
15
Hot working makes it easier to plastically deform the metal, but cold working causes strain hardening, which increases the strength of the material.
16
Three common forming processes are forging, rolling, and extrusion.
17
Modern forging is done using machines.
18
In closed die, or impression forging, the metal is placed between top and bottom closed dies.
19
Repeated strokes from the hammer are used to cause the metal to flow into the shape of the dies.
20
Objects produced using forging can have improved mechanical properties compared to objects which are cast,
21
but it can be difficult to achieve tight tolerances using forging, and the required equipment can be expensive.
22
Extrusion is a continuous process which involves placing hot metal in a chamber
23
and using a ram to force it through a die, producing a long object with a constant cross -section.
24
Extrusion provides an excellent surface finish and can achieve very tight tolerances, but it is only suitable for producing two -dimensional shapes.
25
Rolling is probably the most commonly used forming process.
26
Plus, it involves passing metal between two or more rollers, which apply pressure and reduce thickness.
27
More complex products like I -beams can also be manufactured by rolling.
28
Rolling can result in improved mechanical properties and can be automated, which makes it good for large -scale production
29
but tooling costs tend to be high
30
and it can't be used to produce very complex shapes let's move on to the next category of manufacturing processes casting
31
casting involves pouring molten metal into a mold
32
and allowing it to solidify it is what we call a
33
primary shaping process a secondary process such as machining is typically needed to achieve the desired surface finish.
34
Like forming, casting is most commonly used for metals.
35
Three common types of casting are die casting, sand casting, and investment casting.
36
In die casting, molten metal is forced into reusable metal dies at high pressure.
37
Once the molten metal has solidified, it is removed from the mold.
38
die casting is mostly used for non -ferrous metals like aluminum
39
and zinc which have low melting temperatures it provides an excellent surface finish
40
and can achieve very tight tolerances but startup costs tend to be high
41
so it is only really suitable for large production runs
42
in sand casting a pattern is used to create a single -use mold from damp sand
43
the sand is typically contained in two mold boxes called the cope and the drag
44
molten metal is poured into the mold through a channel formed in the sand When the metal has solidified, the cast object can be removed from the sand.
45
Sand casting can be used for a wide range of metals, including those with high melting temperatures.
46
It can produce large and complex parts, and initial costs are very low, making it good for small production runs.
47
However, it provides a poor surface finish and is not as accurate as other casting processes.
48
The last casting process we will look at is investment casting.
49
Several wax patterns of the same object are created and attached to a sprue.
50
The wax tree is dipped into a slurry to create a ceramic mold.
51
Heat is applied to melt out the wax.
52
Molten metal is then poured into the ceramic mold.
53
once the casting has cooled the mold is broken off.
54
Investment casting is good for parts with complex geometry and can achieve tight tolerances, but it is an expensive and time -consuming process.
55
Molding is very similar to casting.
56
It involves shaping a liquid or pliable material using a mold.
57
Most of the time molding is used for forming plastics.
58
Typical molding processes are injection molding, compression molding, and blow molding.
59
Let's look at the first two.
60
Injection molding is the most commonly used manufacturing method for plastics.
61
Polymer granules are fed into the hopper
62
and a screw is used to pass the material through a heated cylinder before it is forced at pressure into the mold.
63
Injection molding is mostly used for thermoplastics, which are polymers which soften when they are heated and harden when they are cooled.
64
It is a very fast process and can be fully automated, meaning labor costs are low.
65
But startup costs are very high due to the expensive molds, so it is really only cost effective for large production runs.
66
Compression molding involves placing a precise amount of material into a mold.
67
The mold is closed and pressure and temperature are applied.
68
Compression molding is mostly used for thermosets, which are polymers which irreversibly harden
69
when heated tooling costs are relatively cheap making it good for small production runs
70
but it is quite a slow process
71
and is not well suited for complex designs
72
so far we have only looked at material deformation processes machining
73
is a material removal process where a tool is used to
74
remove material from a larger object it is often used for secondary shaping
75
when the part has already been formed using a primary process like casting.
76
Machining can be used for a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and wood.
77
Examples of machining include drilling, turning, and reaming.
78
Drilling is the cutting of a normal circular hole by pressing a rotating drill bit through a solid object.
79
and turning is the use of a cutting tool to shape a rotating workpiece.
80
Let's move on to the next category.
81
Joining involves combining multiple separate components into a larger assembly.
82
Like machining, joining is a secondary process.
83
Welding, riveting, brazing, soldering, and fastening are all different types of joining processes.
84
Welding uses extremely high heat to fuse distinct metal parts together.
85
Unlike soldering and brazing, the base metal melts during welding.
86
The final category is additive manufacturing, which involves adding material to build up the desired object, typically one layer at a time.
87
3D printing, selective laser sintering, and VAT polymerization are examples of additive manufacturing techniques.
88
For 3D printing, a computer is used to successfully build up an object layer by layer.
89
3D printing is a slow process, and the range of materials which can be used is limited.
90
As a result, it tends to be used for prototyping rather than for mass production.
91
That's it for this introduction to manufacturing processes.

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
