Course Objective
The objective of this course is to provide students with knowledge and awareness of specialized and advanced manufacturing techniques that go beyond traditional machining and chipless manufacturing methods. Students will be introduced to the fundamental principles, application areas, advantages, and limitations of electrical, thermal, chemical, electrochemical, ultrasonic, and additive manufacturing methods used in modern manufacturing processes. The course aims to equip students with the ability to compare different specialized manufacturing methods in terms of materials, geometry, surface finish, tolerance, energy efficiency, and cost, and to select the appropriate method for engineering applications. The course also aims to enable students to analyze the applications of specialized manufacturing technologies in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and mold manufacturing, and to understand the importance of these methods in innovative and sustainable manufacturing approaches.
Brief Content of the Course
This course introduces specialized and advanced manufacturing techniques that transcend the limitations of traditional machining and chipless manufacturing methods. Students are taught the fundamental principles, application areas, advantages, and limitations of electrical, chemical, thermal, electrochemical, ultrasonic, and additive (layered) manufacturing methods used in modern engineering applications. The course content covers the theoretical foundations and engineering applications of specialized manufacturing technologies. This course covers: Principles of Electro-Discharge (EDM) and Wire Discharge (WEDM), tool electrodes, surface quality, and parameter optimization; Material removal mechanisms of Electrochemical Machining (ECM), Chemical Etching (CHM), and Photochemical Machining; Thermal and kinetic energy-based processes such as Laser, Electron Beam, Plasma, and Waterjet Cutting; General operating principles, material selection, and application areas of Additive Manufacturing (SLS, SLM, EBM, FDM, etc.); Specialized mechanical and energy-based methods such as Ultrasonic Machining and Friction Welding (FSW) are covered. Furthermore, the effects of these methods on material properties, geometric accuracy, surface roughness, production speed, energy consumption, and cost are comparatively examined. In this course, students evaluate the applicability of different specialized manufacturing methods to engineering problems and learn to select methods based on various industrial examples. The focus is on applications in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and mold making. By the end of this course, students will have understood the fundamental principles of specialized manufacturing techniques and acquired analytical thinking and engineering decision-making skills to determine the appropriate production process by comparing different methods.
