Summary of Lecture 01 : Introduction : Manufacturing and Joining
The lecture introduces the concept of manufacturing and Joining technologies for Metals.
- Manufacturing processes are used to give desired size, shape, and properties to materials.
- Different shapes and properties are achieved through various processes, including Chemical composition modification and Heat treatment.
- Simple shapes can be easily manufactured through processes like Forging and Casting, while complex shapes may require additional processes like machining.
- Material properties such as mechanical, physical, chemical, and dimensional properties significantly impact the selection of Manufacturing processes.
- Joining processes involve bringing simpler components together to achieve desired size and shape.
- Joining can be achieved through mechanical, chemical, or adhesive methods, as well as welding.
- Welding involves fusion, deformation, or diffusion of components using heat or pressure.
- Welded joints have unique characteristics, including residual stresses, partial melting, weld thermal cycles, and chemical/mechanical/metallurgical heterogeneity.
- Considerations for selecting joining processes include material properties, availability of consumables, criticality of application, service conditions, and economy.
- Advantages of welding include producing permanent, strong joints economically, while disadvantages include the need for expertise, high labor costs, and poor reliability.
- Common welding processes and their applications include resistance welding in automobiles, thermite welding in railways, and gas tungsten arc welding in nuclear and aircraft applications.
- The lecture concludes by mentioning the next topic of discussion on different approaches and classifications of joining processes.
