Die casting is a high precision, rapid parts-production process involving the high pressure injection of molten metal into a die having a cavity of the desired part shape. This program explores the common die cast metals and their various properties, as well as die casting machines and die cast tooling.
Whether you're involved in a highly specialized operation, or need comprehensive information on many types of die designs, this book is your best bet book on how to design dies. Hundreds of illustrations on proven designs are included, as well as hundreds of tables and equations to help you make quick calculations for allowances, pressures, forces and more.
Electrical Discharge Machining highlights the fundamentals of EDM.
In 28 chapters, the reader is given a top-to-bottom perspective on ergonomics. Starting with a general overview of the subject, Ergonomics in Manufacturing goes on to encompass such specific areas as designing the workplace, evaluating workloads, and monitoring the ergonomics program. Included are details of actual ergonomics programs at work.
Estimating in Made-to-Order Manufacturing
Finishing Systems Design and Implementation discusses how to smoothly integrate current equipment, product parameters, coating selection and the processes for superior product finishes. Both liquid and powder coating systems are presented, along with its respective management considerations, equipment needs, environmental concerns, and curing methods.
This program, part of the Fundamentals of Tool Design Video Series, explores the various issues influencing the development of fixtures, as well as, the basic fixture types and classifications, modular fixturing, and fixture design cost-to-benefit ratio concerns.
Flexible Small Lot Production for JIT
Forged P/M Alloy Steels
This Forging program begins by outlining forging's function in refining the metallurgical microstructure of wrought mills forms, and it's use in generating parts to near-net shape from these forms. Featured are segments on the various types of forging processes, including: Open-Die Forging, Impression-Die Forging, and Related Forging Processes.
