Project on Manufacturing Process Selection

Total marks: 15 Submission Date: May 31, 2023

Follow instructions carefully.

Take a close look of your environment (Home, industry, university e.t.c) to identify a

mechanical part (component) and provide the appropriate manufacturing process selection to

produce the part by considering the following factors.

Outline of the project

I. Introduction ( not more than a page)

 Introduce the part you are planned to design the manufacturing process. What are

the normal uses or uses of this product or component?

 In which kind of industry this part is used such as automobile, airplane, turbine,

railway, house hold…..

II. Manufacturing Process selection for predesigned machine components

 Present the part description in figure and table as given by the sample.

 Material type and size are important parameter to select the appropriate

manufacturing processes
III. Bibliography ( not more than 5)

 eg. William F. Hosford and Robert M. Caddle, Metal Forming Mechanis and

Metallurgy, Nework, 2005.

IV. Appendix

 Drawing (2D/3D/ section/ developmental…. Based on the type of project you

choose the necessary drawing will be required)

Paper Format

The title page should include the following information centered on the page in the following

order and type of writing:

Title: Manufacturing process selection for ____________

The name and number of the course

Your name and ID. No

Name of your Instructor

Date of submission, M / D /Y

AASTU

Paper type, margins, and page numbers

Papers should be formatted on A4 paper with 1” margins on all sides and with font size 12,

Times New Roman. Use double space to allow easy reading and space for the instructor’s

comments. The right margin may be either “justified” (straight) or “unjustified.” A page number

should be included at the bottom of every page except the title page.
Sample format (part II)

Manufacturing process selection for Pre-heater Vessels

The function of the juice heaters is to heat the juice to the desired temperature. The juice is

entered to the pre-heater twice, before Sulphitation and after Sulphitation. The tubular juice

heaters are cylindrical shells fitted with tube plates at both ends, the tube plates are provided with

baffles beyond the tubes so as to divide the two end portions of the heater into compartments.

The compartments of juice entry and exit have only one pass while the remaining compartments

have two passes viz., upward and downward flow. The shell, headers and tube plates are of mild

steel construction but stiffeners are welded to the covers to enable them to withstand high

pressures. These covers are hinged to the body of the heater and closed by hinged bolts of

sufficient strength to hold the covers under pressure. The pre-heater vessel and its juice tube are

shown in [Figure 3.2]. Based on the data collected from the equipment specification and part

drawings the assembly chart, part description and the process plan are developed as shown in

[Figure 3.3, Table 3.4 and Table3.5].
