Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the course requirements you will be able to:

  • recognise different structures of materials and to be familiar with the basic casting methods and be able to select between them.
  • describe how the mechanical properties can be influenced by different actions.
  • analyse and determine the processing conditions for elementary operations which enable the computation of working times and costs.
  • define cutting data and be able to optimise the parameters in terms of tool life and cutting forces.
  • identify parameters affecting Machinability.
  • understand process variation and chose the right machining operation with respect to machine and process
       data.
  • -  analyse factors affecting the overall machining economy
  • -  understand how a product can be manufactured
  • -  describe the basic plastic deformation methods (rolling, forging, extrusion, drawing and sheet metal forming) and their characteristics.
  • select a suitable manufacturing method for a specific situation.
  • define the principal characteristics for plastics.
  • define different welding methods and their characteristics.
  • define and analyse different kinds of assembly systems.
  • be acquainted to work holding systems in machine tools and their application.

Course main content

Quantitative and qualitative study of manufacturing processes. Emphasis on process selection for optimum design. Laboratory experiments and demonstrations.

Interpretation of the specifications contained in the definition drawing of a part, geometric tolerances and surface finish are discussed. Advanced machining processes topic is also a part of this module as well as machine tool configuration and NC control.

Topics included are accuracy problems in manufacturing, basics of metal cutting, analysis of machining operations, advanced and special and non-conventional machining.

Disposition

Course is alternating lectures, exercises and laboratory work. International guest lecturers is an important part of the course. Company visits.

Eligibility

Compulsory for TPRMM1
