KKKM2833 MANUFACTURING PROCESSES OF BASEBALL BATS
- 1. KKKM2833 MANUFACTURING PROCESSES MUHAMMAD AQIF BIN ISMAL HISHAM BIN ISMAL HISHAM MUHAMMAD ZIKRY HANIF BIN HANAPIAH HANIF BIN HANAPIAH MUHAMMAD KHAIRUL AIMAN AIZAD BIN MOHD FAUZI AIZAD BIN MOHD FAUUZI MUHAMMAD NADZMI BIN ZAINAL ABIDIN MUHAMMAD AMIR NAZIF B MD HATTA
- 2. BASEBALL BAT
- 3. Application of baseball bat A baseball bat is used in the sport of baseball to hit the ball after it is thrown by the pitcher.
- 5. Material Of Baseball Bat Despite the constant evolution of regulations governing bat size and shape, today's bats resemble those of a century ago, with the main difference being that today's bats are much lighter and have thinner handles. 1. Wood • Mostly used in major league tournaments such as the MLB (Major League Baseball) • Several type of woods has been used for baseball bats but the most used are white ash wood and maple wood. 2. Metal • The most common used bat outside of the major league. • Mainly compromised of Aluminium or Aluminium Alloy. 3. Composite • The most recent type of material used in baseball bat. • Made from carbon fibre polymer, which is then mixed with graphite and fiberglass.
- 6. MATERIAL PROPERTIES MATERIAL PROPERTIES MATERIAL WOOD METAL COMPOSITE Durability and strength lowest durability and strength, easily breakable compared to metal and composites Can be used for long periods of time and the strongest bat A lot more durable compared to wooden bats and much less durable compared to metal bats Performance with time Performance rapidly decreases with time Performance decreases with time Performance increases with usage Swing Weight Heaviest swing weight compared to other bats Low swing weight and easier to swing lowest swing weight Trampoline effect Very little to none Very high trampoline effect Improve with usage and the soft barrel of its body allows the ball to comes off with small losses in energy Vibration Has fewer vibration waves when the ball is struck high vibration properties that can cause sting very high damping rate of vibration resulting in no observable vibrations
- 7. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(WOODEN BAT) 1. Making billets • Turn the trees into billet form • A mill worker will place each split onto an automatic lathe that shaves the rough edges off as it turns the wood into Billet form
- 8. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(WOODEN BAT) 2. Seasoning the billets • billets are simply stacked in the yard for a period of six months to two years • to make sure the sap and gum in fresh billets are removed also strengthen the wood • This air-drying process are called "seasoning”.
- 9. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(WOODEN BAT) 3. Shaping and sanding • A worker places each billet on an automatic lathe and shapes it into a rough baseball bat shape with a narrowed neck. • The bat forms are sanded, inspected once more, and then sorted according to weight
- 10. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(WOODEN BAT) 4. Branding, staining, and varnishing • The bat is branded with the company trademark. • All of the bats are then varnished, packed into cartons, and shipped to the player or team.
- 11. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(METAL BAT) 1. Aluminum blanks • Aluminum rods were slice into blanks using cutting machine. • The blanks were drills through by lathe machine
- 12. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(METAL BAT) 2. Extrusion for basic taper • The blanks were sliding over a tapered mandrel and using hydraulic pressure to force the tube through a die making the basic taper of baseball bat
- 13. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(METAL BAT) 3. Punching • The center of the baseball bat blanks was punch through by heavy hitter (400 ton) making the aluminum stretches to full length and shape of baseball bat
- 14. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(METAL BAT) 4. Cutting bat’s end • The bat’s end was cut to size by cutting machine
- 15. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(METAL BAT) 5. Sanding and painting • to get rid of any small defects and rough up the surface for painting • baseball bat was paint by heavy duty paint • plastic end cap is press fit to bat’s end
- 16. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(METAL BAT) 6. Branding and trademark • The bat is branded with the company trademark • All of the bats are then varnished, packed into cartons, and shipped to the player or team
- 17. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(COMPOSITE BAT) 1.Making carbon fiber sheet • Carbon fiber will be infused with special resin and be press into a sheet
- 18. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(COMPOSITE BAT) 2. Spiral to aluminum baseball bat • The carbon fiber sheet will be spiral around the aluminum baseball bat
- 19. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(COMPOSITE BAT) 3. Thick layer carbon • Slide braided weaves of carbon and fiber glass over the fuse carbon form • Pull a layer of thick carbon to fuse carbon form followed by super-strong synthetic (Aramid)
- 20. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(COMPOSITE BAT) 4. Baking all layers together • All layers of fiber and synthetic will be baked in hot pressure to transform all layers into solid bat
- 21. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(COMPOSITE BAT) 5. Sanding and primer coating • The bat is sanded using a sanding machine and dipped in black primer to dry
- 22. MANUFACTURING PROCESS(COMPOSITE BAT) 6. Branding • The bat is branded with the company trademark • All of the bats are then varnished, packed into cartons, and shipped to the player or team
