Manufacturing TechnologyManufacturing Technology

Manufacturing the process of changing materials into

useable products.

Manufacturing Process

Natural Materials

Materials that are found in nature:

Wood Clay

Metal ore Oil

Synthetic Materials

Materials that are made by people

Plastic

Ceramics

Glass

Raw Materials

Materials that are used to make industrial materials.

Materials used to make finished products

Composite Materials

Materials that are made by combining two or more materials

Concrete

Plywood

Other MaterialsTextiles

Leather

Rubber

                                                                                           

Primary ProcessProcesses that change raw materials

into industrial materials.

Mechanical

Thermal

Chemical

Secondary ProcessesProcesses that change industrial materials into finished products.

Forming

Separating

Combining

Conditioning

Forming

Changing the shape of a material

Hammering/squeezing material into shape

Pouring material into molds

Squeezing material between rollers

Pushing material into shape

StampingSqueezing sheet metal

between dies to give it shape.

Back

SeparatingCutting/Shearing of material to size and shape

Heat, light, chemicals and water can be used for separating

Shearing

Cutting of material. No material is destroyed.

Cutting usually involves chip removal.

BackBack

Combining

Process of putting materials together

Types of CombiningMixing: materials mixed together to form new products

Mechanical fasteners: nails, nuts, bolts

Soldering/brazing: involves heat

Coating: one material covers anotherBackBack

ConditioningProcess that changes the internal structure

of a material.

Types of ConditioningThermal – heating of metals: hardening,

tempering (re-heating), and annealing (softening)

Chemical – chemical reactions

Ex. Vulcanization of rubber

Mechanical – uses force, such as forging.
