 Materials Processing / Manufacturing
• Materials are processed to give desired shapes or properties.

• Materials Processing Techniques (Manufacturing Methods) can be

broadly classified as: Conservative, Additive, and Subtractive.

Materials Processing Methods, Example:

 Metal Forming, Casting, Powder Metallurgy, Annealing,
Normalizing etc.
 Welding, Rapid Prototyping, Surface Coating, Nitriding, Surface
Alloying etc.
 Machining, Grinding, Lapping, Honing etc.

 Advanced Materials
• High Strength Temperature Resistant (HSTR), High Strength to
Weight ratio, High Hardness, Brittleness, Toughness etc.

• Demanded in Technologically advanced industries: Aeronautics,

Nuclear Reactors, Automobiles etc.

• Material Science Researchers – Develop Advanced Materials

• HSTR steels, Superalloys, Composites.

 Why ADVANCED MANUFACTURING PROCESSES ?

 Limitations of Conventional Manufacturing Processes

Emergence of Advanced Engineering Materials with Improved Mechanical

Properties

 Product Requirement s: Complex Shapes and Intricate Profiles, Unusual

Shape and Size of Workpiece, Inaccessible areas, Stringent Design
Requirements, Better Surface Quality

 High Production Rate, Low Cost of Production

 Precision Ultraprecision Machining.

 Micro-manufacturing

NTM: Conventional Tools are not employed, Energy in it’s direct form is used
7
to remove materials. Manufacturing does not depend on Material properties.
 Some Characteristics of AMPs

 Performance is independent of strength barrier.

 Performance depends on Thermal, Electrical, Chemical, Optical properties.

 Energy used in direct form.

 Generally low MRR but better quality products

 Higher initial investment cost
