Objectives

This course aims at transmitting to the students the fundamental concepts, both theoretical and practical, about manufacturing processes mainly related to plastic conformation technologies, machining technologies and casting technologies and how to use these concepts in order to develop new products and tools.

Learning outcomes and competences

By the end of the semester, students should: 1. be familiar with the fundamental characteristics of manufacturing processes, their capabilities and limitations, as well as their applicability to create a product; 2. be familiar with machine-tools: how to operate them, their components, and their different types; 3. be familiar with the tools used in each process, how to operate them and their main components; 4. be capable of defining processes related to the production of different components/ products and corresponding stages of production.

Program

METAL FORMING - Introduction to manufacturing processes; Classification of forming processes; Equipment used in forming processes; Technological processes: Forging, Rolling, Extrusion, Blanking, Fine Blanking, Deep Drawing, Bending, Product and Tool Design.

MACHINING - Machining by chip removal; main characteristics. Conventional machine tools: lathe, drilling machine, milling machine, boring machine and grinder. Notions about work planning. CNC machine tools; turning centers and machining centers. Cutting phenomena: movements, cutting parameters and chip dimensions, chip formation, cutting forces and cutting power. Cutting tools: geometrical characterization, materials and wear and tool life. Cutting fluids. Surface finishing. Introduction to non-conventional machining processes.

WELDING - Main welding processes. General principles. Applications.

CASTING - Foundry technologies: sand casting, die casting, injection moulding; investment casting, etc; Strengths and limitations of each process and applications. Differences between casting parts and molds; Equipment; Materials; Foundry defects, finishing, inspection and control techniques.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING - Introduction to the additive manufacturing as a support for product development and serial production. Different technologies for additive manufacturing: working principles; strengths and limitations.

Eligibility for exams

According to Article 4 of General Evaluation Rules of FEUP

Calculation formula of final grade

FM = A*0.75 + B*0.25
FM: Final Mark
A: Average grade of the two written tests
B: Group assignment

Each written test will cover the following topics: 1^st test - PLASTIC FORMING and WELDING; 2^nd Test – Machining, Casting and Additive Manufacturing.

The group assignment will be mandatory and it includes written report, oral presentation and discussion. 

The final exam can be partial (1st or 2nd test) or total and its score prevails if it is higher than the previously obtained.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

An exam based on the topics that have been taught. An individual assignment with a written report and oral presentation – the theme will be chosen by the professors.

FM= A*0.75 + B*0.25

FM: Final Mark

• Grade of the exam
• Grade of the assignment

For students with a positive mark in the group assignment, in the present or in the immediate past scholar year, this mark will be used for B, with no need of a new work.

Classification improvement

An exam based on the themes that have been taught.
