What is manufacturing?
The word manufacture is derived from two Latin words manu and factus

Manu (hand) and factus (make)

The combination of
these words means
Made by hand

Technologically, manufacturing is the application of Economically, manufacturing is the transformation of materials

physical and chemical processes to alter the geometry,
properties, and/or appearance of a given starting
material to make parts or products; manufacturing also
includes assembly of multiple parts to make products.
The process to accomplish manufacturing involve a
combination of machinery, tools, power, labor.
into items of greater value by means of one or more processing
and/or assembly operations.
The key point is that manufacturing adds value to the material
by changing its shape or properties.
The material has been made more valuable through the
manufacturing operations performed on it.

Shaping processes – solidification processes

• The starting material is heated sufficiently to transform it into a liquid or highly plastic (semifluid) state.
• The material in liquid or semifluid form can be poured or otherwise forced to flow into a mold cavity.
• After solidification, the material take the solid shape that is same as the cavity.
• Examples are the casting and molding processes

Shaping processes – deformation processes

• The starting material is shaped by the application of forces that exceed the yield strength of the material.
• The material should be ductile to avoid fracture during deformation.
• The material is often heated before forming to a temperature below the melting point to increase the ductility.
• Examples are the forging and extrusion processes

the source

Welding: It is a material joining process in which two are more parts are joined
together at their contacting surfaces by a suitable application of heat alone or
pressure alone or both simultaneously.

Shaping processes – material removal

• Removes excess material from the starting workpiece so that the resulting shape is the desired geometry.
• Material removal processes tends to be wasteful of material, simply by the way they work. The material 
removed from the starting shape is waste.
• Few material removal processes are
 Machining
 Grinding
 Non‐traditional processes
• The machining process is the most important and the common material removal process. It is categorized as
 Turning
 Drilling
 Milling
Rotation

Non‐destructive testing (NDT)

“Non‐destructive testing in the welding / foundry is the method of detecting defects or flaws in welds /
casting products without impairing the usefulness of the component or structure under test.”

• NDT methods
 Visual inspection
 Liquid penetrant testing / dye penetrant testing
 Magnetic particle testing
