Chapter 15 Production in Manufactoring

Products designed to operate for a long period of time.

• elastic range

• durable products

• jig

Assembly process that holds plastic, metal, ceramic, and composite parts to each other by cohesive or adhesive forces.

• bonding

• plastic range

• yield point

The range between rest (no force applied) and the yield point of a material.

• nondurable products

• fixture

• plastic range

The use of mechanical forces to change the internal structure of a material.

• mechanical conditioning

• thermal conditioning

• fracture point

Heat is used to change the internal properties of a material.

• heat-treating

• thermal conditioning

• chemical conditioning

Secondary manufacturing processes that change the internal properties of a material.

• fixture

• conditioning processes

• thermal conditioning

A thermal conditioning process used on metals in which the metal is heated and allowed to cool slowly.

• heat-treating

• elastic range

• bonding

The use of chemical actions to change the internal properties of a material.

• thermal conditioning

• chemical conditioning

• nondurable products

Products designed to be used only for a short period of time.

• nondurable products

• plastic range

• durable products

Assembly process that uses mechanical forces, such as friction, to hold parts together.
