CO2: Demonstrate the concept of metals forming processes for various applications.
CO3: Identify a metal joining process considering the materials.
CO4: Explain the manufacturing processes under powder metallurgy and plastics
CO5: Understand the manufacturing process for ceramics, glass and composite materials
UNIT I : CASTING PROCESSES

(9)

Patterns- mould making - core- moulding sand -melting equipment- melting and pouring- gating system- cooling
and solidification- casting- preparation, design- sand, shell mould, ceramic, vacuum, investment, die, centrifugal,
continuous casting processes - casting defects, inspection and testing
UNIT II : METAL FORMING PROCESSES

(9)

Cold and hot working - rolling - forging - extrusion -drawing - metal stamping and forming - bending, deep drawing,
stretch forming, metal spinning, shear and flow forming, blanking, piercing, embossing and coining, roll forming forming defects - shot peening - types of dies, presses - comparison of forming processes.
