Theory Of Production Processes

Course Overview

This course, Theory of Production Processes, focuses on understanding the science behind the technology of primary production processes, such as casting, forming and welding. It is designed to provide students with an understanding of the theoretical aspects of these processes, rather than just the operational procedures. The course is divided into three sections, each of which is covered in four weeks. The first section covers the principles of solidification, fluidity, gating, risering, and melting. The second section covers the mechanics of metalworking and the analysis of different metalworking processes. The third section covers the principles of welding processes, thermal effects, and weldability. Upon completion of the course, students will have the knowledge to increase the productivity of manufacturing industries. This course is intended for those with an introduction to manufacturing technology or manufacturing processes. It is supported by manufacturing industries where casting, forming, and welding take place, such as SAIL, BHEL, HEC, and Bharat Forge.

[Applications]
The application of this course can be seen in the manufacturing industries where casting, forming and welding processes take place. The knowledge gained from this course can be used to increase the productivity of these industries in the long run. The course can also be used to help students become conversant with the working principles of these processes. Additionally, the course can be used to provide industry support to manufacturing industries such as SAIL, BHEL, HEC, Bharat Forge, etc.
