Learning outcomes
After completing the course the student should be able to
- explain comprehensively the manufacture chain applied in the traditional industry,
- describe different methods for: forming, cutting, welding, and unusual machining methods,
- explain how limits of different machining processes are related to material properties,
- describe different measurement methods, measurement tools and devices, and use form and position tolerance,
- make simple calculations of force, needed power, cost, select appropriate tools and cutting data, and make simple structural design of pressing tool.
Content
Plastic processing: Analysis of energy, power and force requirements for e.g. forging, pressing, bending, and thread and plate production.
Cutting processing: Analysis of cutting procedures, tool wear and life length, with an emphasis on lathing, cutting, drilling and grinding.
Welding: Arc and gas welding.
Production technical measurement methods: Measurement gear, gauges, jigs, measurement devices and modern measurement machines.
Unusual machining methods such as: FFF, spark machining EDM and EDWC, Electrochemical machining (ECM), laser and liquid jet cutting.
