Machining is one type of manufacturing process where excess material is removed from the workpiece to impart intended shape, size and finish. It follows the principle of subtractive manufacturing approach to build 3-D components. Conventional machining processes employ a cutting tool that contain one or more shape edges, and layer by layer material is removed from the workpiece in the form of solid chips. In order to process a wide
Like welding, riveting is also one permanent joining process used for mechanical assembly of two or more solid components. In riveting, arrays of through holes are first drilled on the components in pre-defined locations. Additional strap plates, if used, are also drilled in the corresponding locations. Rivets of specific dimension are then inserted via these holes. The diameter of the drilled hole on the components is larger than the shank
Joining is a part and parcel in manufacturing as it is used to assemble two or more solid components either permanently or temporarily. Although a permanent joint does not allow disassembly of parts without rupturing them, it has immense demand in assembly as it can provide a strong, leak-proof and inherently anti-loose joint. Welded joint and riveted joint are two commonly used permanent joining processes; however, now-a-days riveted joints are
Joining is one of the manufacturing processes by which two or more components can be assembled together to unify them. There exists a wide variety of such joining processes to fulfill the need of assembling various components in several ways. Broadly, these processes can be classified into two categories—permanent joining and temporary joining. A permanent joint is one where the jointed components cannot be dismantled easily without rupturing them, while
