Types of processes

Types of processes

1. Forming process

   • Conforming is the process of replacing lower-quality media in an edit or a shot with higher-quality media, usually camera-original files. In my goofy example above, shopping at a budget grocery store is like the editing process. You're using low-quality sources (ingredients) to make your edits (recipes).

2. Material Removal Process

   • Material removal process is a type of manufacturing process in which the final product is obtained by removing excess metal from the stock. The best example of a machining process is generating a cylindrical surface from a metal stock with the help of a lathe.

3. Deformation process

   • Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to obtain the desired final geometry and tolerances with required properties (Altan, 1983).

4. Finishing process

   • Finishing involves altering the surface of a manufactured part to achieve the desired appearance or make it easier to bond with or provide durability. The finishing processes used on the manufactured part all depend on the part's material, whether it be plastic or metal.

5. Tuning process

   • It consists of giving values ​​to the integral and derivative action systems and the gain (Kc, Ti and Td) so that the controller loop responds adequately to disturbances.

6. Heat treatment process

   • In simple terms, heat treatment is the process of heating the metal, holding it at that temperature, and then cooling it back. During the process, the metal part will undergo changes in its mechanical properties. This is because the high temperature alters the microstructure of the metal.

7. Solidification process

   • Solidification is a process in which atoms are converted into an ordered solid state from a liquid disordered state. The conversion rate for the process of solidification can be achieved by following the kinetic laws. The movement of atoms for the conversion of liquid can be observed by these laws.

8. Material joining process

   • Joining includes welding, brazing, soldering, adhesive bonding of materials. They produce permanent joint between the parts to be assembled. They cannot be separated easily by application of forces. They are mainly used to assemble many parts to make a system.

9. Coating process

   • The coating process consists of applying a coating material to a moving web of flexible substrate. The carrier substrate may be paper, film, or aluminum foil and the resulting material's additional properties will vary depending on the required application and on the material's end-use.
