Machining
Module
Outcomes
1. Be able to analyze machining and
material processes based on scientific principles, engineering challenges, and
engineering practice.
2. Be able to determine appropriate
machining and material processes for applications by justifying the selection
as compared to alternatives.
3. Be able to identify an
appropriate sequence of operations.
4. Be able to do cost-benefit
analyses related to machining and material processes.
Preparation
ð
The
introductory section from Chapter 20 in the text, provides a good overview of
machining/material removal processes. The definition of machining (p522-3) and
figures 20.1 and 20,2 provide concise summary of machining and where machining
fits into material removal processes in general. I thing the disadvantages
listed on page 524, could be opportunities for measuring productivity. Section
20.1 should be read in its entirety. Pay careful attention to Figures 20.3,
20.5 and equation 20.1. Do not read the remainder of Chapter 20. Chapter 21 should be read up to and including
Section 21.2.4. Read the introduction to Chapter 22 and Section 22.1.2 should
be read to prepare for this class-session. Nothing else in Chapter 22 is
relevant to this class session.
ð
The
following videos from the text provide great examples of: Basic
Lathe Operations (Turning, Drilling/Boring/Reaming, Facing and Parting
ð
The
Practica Experience involving lathes.
