Manufacturing project – Group Project Report
MANUFACTURING OF A BRACKET BY METAL CASTING (Total Marks: 25% Weightage) Due date: 07-11-2024 Learning Outcomes: 1. Select and analyze appropriate mechanical engineering manufacturing processes for metal components/assemblies to achieve required product specifications. Range includes casting, forging, rolling, extrusion. 2. Design, process, evaluate and cost parameters for casting and metal forming applications Problem Statement: A Bracket with the following dimensions as shown in Figure 1, Table 1 and Table 2 must be casted with the following stringent requirements. The requirements for performance, casting production, and cost are taken into consideration. Select an alloy that meets the mechanical requirements and reliably produces the castings in a sound condition. Select a molding method that produces the required dimensional tolerances and surface finish in a cost-effective manner. Develop a casting and mold design that produces flaw-free within-tolerance connectors at the best cost.
