Types of conventional machining
Milling, sawing, turning, broaching, drilling, boring
Types of abrasive machining
grinding, polishing, lapping
Pros of machining
Dimensional accuracy Complex shapes Surface finish Can process many materials Can be economical for small batches
Cons of machining
Can be expensive for large amount of batch Waste of materials Lubricants Can be longer compared to shaping May have adverse effects of surface integrity
Importance of cutting forces
Optimize machining process Prevent excessive tool wear Process monitoring
Parameters affecting cutting forces
RPM, depth, width, feed rate, tool geometries, workpiece, lubricants
Aspects to consider surface
Friction and wear Safety Aesthetic Fatigue Contacts Mechanical integrity of materials
White light interferometer
Tribology
Science and technology of interacting surfaces involving friction, wear and lubricants
Types of wear (tools and tribology)
Adhesive wear Abrasive wear Corrosive wear Fatigue wear
Benefits of lubrication
Reduce friction and wear Major variables Contact pressure Speed Temperature
Using lubricants in manufacturing
Lower friction and wear High material flow in tools and dies Act as a thermal barrier Act as releasing agents Cooling Remove debris
Surface treatments
Shot peening Case hardening (carburizing) Vapor deposition (PVD, CVD, sputtering) Electroplating Anodizing - oxidation process Painting
Benefits of painting as a surface treatment
Improve resistance to wear, errosion Control friction Reduce adhesion Improve lubrication Resistance to corrosion and oxidation Improve fatigue resistance Modify surface texture
Physical vapor deposition (PVD)
Is a surface treatment: Particles are physically deposited Vacuum deposition Sputtering Ion plating
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD)
Surface treatment
Electroplating
Surface treatment Cathode (collector) and anode (donor) Metal ions from anode are discharged using PE through electricity Metal ions are dissolved into the solution Deposited to negatively charged cathode
Detrimental effects on fatigue life of material

What is hardness
Hardness is directly related to other mechanical properties such as strength and wear resistance Resistance to localized plastic deformation
Creep
Permanent deformation due to static loading important in high-temp applications
Residual Stress
Left over stress Stress remains within a part after it has deformed of all external forces have been removed Compressive RS is good for fatigue while tensile RS is bad for fatigue
