<p>117.192.8.79: /* Consolidation */</p> <hr /> <div>{{engineering-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Industrial Engineering]] and Manufacturing Engineering are names that are frequently used inter-changeably. However [[Industrialization]] has changed since in the 1970's with [[Globalization]], the [[Outsourcing]] of production, and the growth of the [[Virtual Corporation]]. As a result [[Industrial Engineering]] has begun to focus more on the external dynamics of industrial processes, such as: [[Process Management]], [[Project Management]], [[Logistics]], [[Human Factors]], and [[Labor Relations]]; while Manufacturing Engineering remains focused on the internal dynamics of industrial processes, such as: [[Machine Tools]], [[Materials Science]], [[Tribology]], and [[Quality Control]].<br /> <br /> While there are many sub-disciplinary components that feed into industrial processes, Manufacturing Engineering can be further defined through a [[Taxonomy of Manufacturing Processes]].<br /> <br /> ==Shaping==<br /> <br /> [[Shaping]] involve processes that perform [[Boolean]] operations on matter or contort matter to conform to desired shapes.<br /> <br /> ===Mass Reducing===<br /> <br /> ====Mechanical Reducing====<br /> <br /> Mechanical reducing typically involves the use of a hard and sharp metallic object to remove matter. Among the operations involved are:<br /> <br /> * [[Drilling]]<br /> * [[Boring]]<br /> * [[Turning]]<br /> * [[Sawing]]<br /> * [[Broaching]]<br /> * [[Filing]]<br /> * [[Grinding]]<br /> * [[Shearing]]<br /> * [[Punching]]<br /> <br /> ====Thermal Reducing====<br /> <br /> Thermal reducing involves the use of heat to induce a physical [[Phase Transition]]. Operations may include:<br /> <br /> * [[Gas torching]]<br /> * [[Plasma torching]]<br /> * [[EDM]]<br /> * [[Laser torching]]<br /> * [[Melting]]<br /> <br /> ====Chemical Reducing====<br /> <br /> Chemical reducing involves the use of chemicals to induce <br /> <br /> ===Mass-Conserving===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Consolidation]]<br /> <br /> ====Deformation====<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===Joining===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ====Thermal Joining====<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ====Chemical Joining====<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Non-shaping==<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===Heat Treatments===<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Annealing]]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Hardening]]<br /> <br /> ===Surface Finishing===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ====Surface Preparation====<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ====Surface Coating====<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ====Surface Modification====<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Other subjects==<br /> <br /> * [[Society of Manufacturing Engineers]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> * Todd, Robert H.; Allen, Dell K.; and Alting, Leo (1994).
