Forging Manufacturing Process

Forging Manufacturing Process

Today we’re going to be talking about the forging manufacturing process, which is super cool because it’s one of the oldest and most reliable methods of shaping metal. Forging is a metal shaping process that involves applying localized compressive forces using a hammer or die. It can be classified into cold forging, warm forging, or…

The Science of The Rolling Process

The Science of The Rolling Process

The Rolling process is a method used to transform metal into a thin, elongated layer by passing it between two rollers rotating in opposite directions. The gap between the rollers should be smaller than the thickness of the metal being worked. As the metal passes through the rollers, it experiences friction and compression, which elongates…

Understanding Machining Economics

Machining economics encompasses a range of models and scenarios aimed at enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of machining processes. It involves optimizing the overall outcome of a machining process. At a micro-technological level, this means maximizing tool life, increasing the number of workpieces produced per cutting edge, adhering to pre-defined cycle times, minimizing tooling costs,…

Machining Operations Explained

Machining Operations Explained

Machining is a manufacturing process that involves shaping or creating a part by removing material, typically metal, from a larger workpiece through cutting. This method is known as subtractive manufacturing, as it removes material to achieve the desired shape, unlike additive manufacturing, such as 3D printing, which adds material. Machining is crucial in producing many…
