This document discusses primary and secondary manufacturing processes and distinguishes between them. It focuses on sand casting as a primary manufacturing process. Sand casting involves pouring molten metal into a sand mold cavity. The mold is formed by packing sand around a pattern and then removing the pattern, leaving a cavity in the shape of the desired part. The document describes the key elements of sand casting, including the pattern, cores, sand, gating and riser systems. It also discusses common casting defects and the steps in the sand casting process.
This Slides explains the process of car door manufacturing which is already practised in industries. Many concepts which are really important for mechanical undergrads are explained hereby.
The design and manufacture of precast refractory shapes has become a specialized field within the refractory industry in recent years. As the demands increase for greater refractory lining performance and lower maintenance costs, refractory users are finding that one effective way to achieve those goals is to incorporate a broader use of precast refractory shapes into their lining systems.
RTM is a low-pressure molding process, where a mixed resin and catalyst are injected into a closed mold containing a fiber pack or preform . when the resin has cured the mold can be opened and finished component removed.

3. What is Manufacturing ?
• Manufacturing can be defined in two ways:
• Technologically: Manufacturing is the
application of physical and chemical processes
to alter the geometry , properties, and/or
appearance of a given starting material to
make parts or products.
• Manufacturing also includes assembly of
multiple parts to make products.
• The processes to accomplish manufacturing
involves a combination of machinery, tools,
power and labor.
3
5. Economical definition
• Economically: Manufacturing is the
transformation of materials into items of greater
value by means of one or more processing
and/or assembly operations.
• The key point here is “Add value” to material by
changing its shape or properties, or by
combining it with another materials.
• Example: sand when converted into glass, value
is added.
• The words Manufacturing or Production are
often used interchangeably. 5
7. Primary and Secondary Industries
• Industries are organizations or enterprises that
produce and supply goods and services.
• They can be classified as:
• Primary industries: that cultivate and exploit
natural resources, example mining, petroleum.
• Secondary industries: takes the output of
primary industries and convert them into
consumer and capital goods. Manufacturing is
principle activity here, example: steel making,
oil refinery, constructions.
• Tertiary industries: service sector, example
insurance, car repairs, banking…

8. Manufacturing Capabilities
• Any typical manufacturing plant consists of a set
of Processes, Systems, and Materials.
• These three building blocks Materials-Processes-
systems constitute the subject of modern
manufacturing.
• These factors are highly interdependence among
other.
• Manufacturing Capabilities: refers to the
technical and physical limitations of a
manufacturing firm and each of its plants. 8
9. Manufacturing Capabilities Dimensions
1. Technological processing capabilities: is the
available set of manufacturing processes in the
plant. Example: a steel rolling factory cannot
build automobiles.
2. Physical Product Limitations: a plant with a
given set of processes is limited in terms of the
size and weight of products that he can
accommodate. Large, heavy, different type
materials needs different equipment.
3. Production Capacity: the maximum rate of
production that a plant can achieve under
assumed operating conditions.

11. Manufacturing Processes
• Manufacturing Process: is a designed procedure
that results in physical and/or chemical changes
to a starting work material with the intention of
increasing the value of that material.
• A manufacturing process is usually carried out as
a unit operation, where a single step in the
sequence of steps required to transform the
starting material into a final product.
• Manufacturing processes can be divided into two
types: Processing operations, and Assembly
operations.
11
12. Processing operations &
Assembly operations
1. Processing operations: transforms a work
material from one state of completion to a
more advanced state that is closer to the final
desired product.
2. Assembly operations: joints two or more
components to create a new entity, called an
assembly, subassembly, or some other term
that refers to the joining process.
12
14. Processing operations
• A processing operation uses energy to alter a
work part's shape, physical properties, or
appearance to add value to the materials.
• The forms of energy includes: Mechanical,
Thermal, Electrical, Chemical. The energy is
applied by a controlled means of machinery and
tooling.
• Processing operations categories are:
1. Shaping operation.
2. Property-Enhancing operation.
3. Surface processing operation.
14
15. I - Shaping operations
Shaping operation: most shaping operations apply
heat, mechanical force, or a combination of these
to effect a change in the geometry of the work
material. This includes:
1. Solidification processes
2. Particulate processing
3. Deformation process
4. Material removal process
• following slides explain the four processes. 15
16. 1- Solidification Processes
• In solidification processes the starting material
is heated to liquid or semifluid that cools and
solidifies to form the part geometry.
• Nearly all materials can be processed this way if
it has relatively low melting point, such as
polymers, metals, and glass ceramics.
• The molted material is forced or poured into a
mold to form the required shape.
• Casting is the name used for metals, and molding
is the common term used for plasic. 16
20. 20
Important considerations in
casting
• Flow of molten metal into the mold cavity.
• Solidifacation and cooling of the metal in the mold.
• Influence of the type of mold material.
21. 21
Why Casting processes are
selected?
Casting Process are most often selected over other manufacturing
methods for the below reasons:
Casting can produce complex shapes and can incorporated internal
cavities or hollow sections.
Very large parts can be produced in one piece.
Casting can utilize materials that are difficult or uneconomical to
process by other means.
The casting process can be economically competitive with other
manufacturing processes.
23. 23
Open Mold
• Open Mold is simply a container of the desired shape of the part.
23
24. 24
Closed Mold
• Mold geometry more complex and requires passageway or gating
system.
24
25. Closed Molds
• A passageway or gating system is provided to permit
the molten metal to flow from outside the mold into
the cavity.
• the closed mold is by far the more important
category in production casting operation.
• Casting processes divided into two broad categories,
according to type of mold used:
• Expendable mold: means the mold in which the
molten metal solidifies must be destroyed to
remove the casting (made from sand or plaster).
• Permanent Mold: the Mold used many times,
made from metal or ceramic refractories.
25
26. Sand Casting Elements
• Sand casting mold consist of:
• The cope: is the upper half of the mold.
• The drag: is the bottom half of the mold.
• The flask: the cope and drag are contained by this
box called the flask.
• The Pattern: In sand casting we need also the pattern;
it is the mold cavity shape made of wood, plastic, or
other material.
• The cavity is formed by packing sand around the
pattern, about half in the drag and half in the cope.
• The pattern is then removed to leave the cavity. 26
28. Sand Casting Elements
The pattern:
• For the production of small quantities of casting,
patterns are made from wood, smoothed
painted or varnished to give a smooth finish to
the casting.
• Patterns are made larger than the finished part
to allow for shrinkage of the casting when it
cools.
• A special rule, know as a contraction rule, is
available to suit different metals. 28
29. 29
Types of Patterns
• Types of patterns used in sand casting: (a) solid pattern, (b) split
pattern, (c) match-plate pattern, (d) cope and drag pattern
30. 30
• FIGURE 11.4 A typical metal match-plate pattern used in sand
casting.
31. 31
Sand Casting Elements
• Where cores are to be incorporated in casting(See below),
provision must be made on the pattern to provide a location
seating in the mold. These section added to the pattern are
known as core prints.
• The Core: When a casting is to have a hollow section, a core must
be incorporated into the mold.
• Cores are inserted in the mold after the pattern is removed and
before the mold is closed. They are located and supported in the
mold in a seating formed by the core prints on the pattern.
• Core must be strong enough to support itself and withstand the
flow of metal, and in some cases it may be necessary to reinforce
it with wires to give added strength.
• Complex cores are produces from CO2 sand.
31
32. 32
SandCastingElements
The Sand: molding sand must be permeable, i.e. porous to allow
the escape of gases and steam; strong enough to withstand the
mass of molten metal; resist high temperature and have a grain size
suited to the desired surface of the casting.
• Silicon sand is used in molding, the grains of the sand being held
together in different ways.
• In green sand molds the grains are held together by moist clay,
and the moisture level has to be carefully controlled in order to
produce satisfactory results.
• Dry sand molds start off in the same way as green sand molds but
the moisture is driven of heating the molds. This makes the mold
stronger and is suited for heavier castings.
• With CO2 sand the silica grain are coated with sodium silicate
instead of clay. When the mold, it is hardened by passing CO2 gas
for short period of time. The sand ‘Sets’ but is easily broken after
casting

Casting Defects
• Metallic Projections: such as fins, flash or projections
• Cavities: such as blow holes, pinholes and shrinkage cavities
• Discontinuities: such as cracks, cold or hot tearing, cold shuts
• Defective surface: such as surface folds, laps, scars, adhering sand
layers, and oxide scale.
• Incomplete casting: such as misruns,
• Incorrect dimensions or shape.
• Inclusions: generally non metallic slags
40. 40
• FIGURE 10.12 Examples of hot tears in castings. These defects occur because the casting cannot shrink
freely during cooling, owing to constraints in various portions of the molds and cores. Exothermic (heat-
producing) compounds may be used (as exothermic padding) to control cooling at critical sections to avoid
hot tearing.

proper design and preparation of molds and control of pouring procedures. Source: After J. Datsko.
