Machining Knowledge

 

Machining refers to the process of transforming raw materials using various mechanical or chemical methods to alter their shape, dimensions, and properties, resulting in parts or finished products that meet design specifications.

Common types of machining and manufacturing processes include:

Cutting Processes: Material removal using tools, such as turning, milling, and drilling.

Forming Processes: Deforming materials under pressure, such as forging, press forming, and bending.

Casting: Pouring molten metal into molds and allowing it to solidify into shape.

Welding and Joining: Connecting metal parts to form a complete structure.

Surface Treatment: Enhancing corrosion resistance, aesthetics, or functionality — including plating, anodizing, and painting.

Understanding the characteristics and applications of different machining technologies helps improve product quality and production efficiency.
