Types of processes

Types of processes

1. Forming Process

   • The objective of forming a material is to give it a certain shape, following a series of specific techniques. This process allows a part to be reshaped without the need to add or remove material in metalworking. Manufacturers can do this by various methods.

2. Material removal process

   • Processes for material removal are classified as traditional, or chip-forming, and non-traditional, or chipless. In all traditional processes for material removal, the three basic elements are the workpiece, the cutting tool, and the machine tool.

3. Deformation process

   • Metal deformation is a process in which, due to applied forces, the shape and/or size of the piece of metal changes. For it to take place, the applied force must involve a stress greater than the original yield strength of the metal. And in this way a deformation is produced at the same time.

4. Material joining process

   • The union of two or more materials by means of a filler metal, using induction heating. Materials are quickly heated by the electromagnetic field of an induction coil.

5. Material Removal

   • Processes for material removal are classified as traditional, or chip-forming, and non-traditional, or chipless. In all traditional processes for material removal, the three basic elements are the workpiece, the cutting tool, and the machine tool.

6. Finishing process

   • The finish is a manufacturing process with which the appropriate surface for the application of a product is obtained; however, it is not limited to the aesthetic issue, since specifications that have to do with the dimensions of the object are also obtained.

7. Tuning process

   • The Method consists of obtaining the response of the measured signal to a disturbance (for example, a pulse at the set point) with a proportional controller. The response is observed and if it is damped, the gain is increased until Sustained Oscillations (oscillation with constant amplitude) are achieved.

8. Heat treatment process

   • The heat treatments are carried out in a furnace in which the metal parts are heated to a high temperature in a controlled gaseous atmosphere chosen based on the properties to be modified: surface hardness, ductility, wear resistance, aesthetic appearance, etc.

9. Solidification process

   • When the metal is in a liquid state and energy is removed from it, solidification occurs, which also occurs at constant temperature. The stages of solidification of a pure metal can be seen in the graph: initially, very specific points solidify in a stage called nucleation.

10. Coating process

    • Iron-on coating is ideal for adding functionality to a substrate, creating a new product, or adding the adhesive for reactivation in the next step in the production process. Either for roll to roll lamination or as a cut piece in a heated press.
