Course Objectives

The course enables the students to understand:

 Basic traditional machining processes, their principles, tool geometry, wear of tools,
force and power on traditional machine tools and measures to achieve optimization;
 Basic nontraditional machining operation and their principles;
 Basic concept of casting process, design of cast, casting defect and their remedies;

Course Description

Systematic survey on the most important production processes in the metal-working

industry; Traditional machining processes: Selected process principles (lathe, milling,
drilling, grinding); kinematics of machine tools: motion of cutting work piece and tool
(cutting speed, feed, metal removal rate, machining time); Geometry of tool: single point
and multi point tooth (lathe and milling cutters);Tool materials; forces and power, tool
wear and tool life, productivity, optimization; Non-traditional machining processes:
Introduction to electric discharge machining, chemical machining, electrochemical
machining, abrasive flow machining, abrasive jet machining, and ultrasonic machining;
Fundamentals of casting processes: types and classification, Patterns; Molding
materials; Molding sand properties; Core sands; Elements of gating systems; Casting
Design (gating systems: risers, runners, etc); Melting practice; Cupola furnace; Special
casting processes; Defects in castings.
