MANUFACTURING PROCESSES

In casting process, the metal in the molten state is poured into a mould and then allowed to solidify into a fine desired shape. In deformation process, by force, material is deformed. Forging, rolling, extrusion, drawing, bending, deep drawing etc. are examples. Machining processes are also called metal cutting or chip forming. This process includes turning, milling, drilling, broaching, shaving, grinding, polishing, lapping, honing, buffing, sawing etc. In plastic/polymer processing, shape casting method is employed. Powder metallurgy, joining processes, heat treatment, surface treatment, assembly processes are the other manufacturing methods.
