Engineering Materials and Processes
Ashby: Fig 13.2The classes of processes
Hot-working processes (Higgins 7.2)
Engineering Materials and Processes
Hot Working processes are carried out above the recrystallisationtemperature of the material.
7.2 Hot Working Processes7.2.1 Forging7.2.2 Hot-rolling
Hot-working processes: Forging (Higgins 7.2.1)
Engineering Materials and Processes
VIDEO: Open-die forging can produce forgings from a kg to more than 150 tonnes.“Open-die” means the metal is not confined laterally during forging. The process works progressively from the starting stock into the desired shape. Flat-faced dies are usual.Wide range of shapes and sizes are possible, especially suited to large custom parts like a ship’s propeller shaft.
Seamless Rolled Ring Forging: Starts with a cast billet, then upset and punched to form a donut shape, then rolling and squeezing (or in some cases, pounding) the donut into a thin ring. Ring diameters can be anywhere from a 100mm to 10m.

Hot Rolling (Billet to plate/sheet): Dalarna University www.du.se(Creative Commons)Breaking down billets (large thick slabs cast from the furnace) into successively thinner plate, and finally sheet.

Hot-working processes: Extrusion (Higgins 7.2.3)
Engineering Materials and Processes
Like squeezing toothpaste from a tube, material is forced through a die and is plastically deformed into the cross-section of the die. The die hole can be almost any shape, (e.g. a circular die will make a rod)
openlearn.open.ac.uk
Mostly used for low temperature metals: copper pipes, aluminium extrusions.Steel can only be drawn or hot rolled, but not extruded in the same way as aluminium.Pity. Would have been a nice way to make steel pipe.
Hot-working processes: Extrusion (Higgins 7.2.3)
Engineering Materials and Processes
Extruding a hollow shape is an obvious problem. How do you hold the die that forms the hole?

Extrusion bridge die making a hollow section product. Note: in reality, the die and ring are held together.
Hot-working processes: Extrusion (Higgins 7.2.3)
Engineering Materials and Processes
Heated to about 900oF (480oC) to keep it well above the recrystallisation temperature (150oC).
The design of the extrusion profile effects extrusion performance. (E.g. Better to have symmetry, avoid long flats, minimize internal holes, etc…) PBCLinear
Aluminium dominates the extrusion industry because the metal has excellent ductility without the need for extreme temperatures. It is also an obvious choice for window frames, structural and decorative parts, and almost anything of a constant cross-section.

Cold-working processes (Higgins 7.3)
Engineering Materials and Processes
Cold Working processes are carried out below the recrystallisationtemperature of the material.

Powder Metallurgy (Higgins 7.4)
Engineering Materials and Processes
Powder Metallurgy (PM) involves pressing the powder and then heating (above recrystallisationbut below the melting point) – called sintering –which binds the particles together.

Machining metals (Higgins 7.5)
Engineering Materials and Processes
Machining is a cold-working process in which the cutting edge of a tool forms shavings or chips of the material being cut.

Profile Cutting
Engineering Materials and Processes
This is for cutting sheet material. Usually CNC• Laser. Fast, accurate, good finish, many materials. Finest kerf. Fussy maintenance.
• Water jet: Almost any material. No heat damage.

Profile Cutting
Engineering Materials and Processes
This is for cutting sheet material. Usually CNC• Flame Cut (Gas): Cheaper system, good for thick steel plate. Worst quality.
• Plasma: Better finish than flame cut, but cheaper than laser.
• CNC router: Typically wood, plastic and soft metals (e.g. thin aluminium), often held down by vacuum onto a spoil board (MDF)
