Fabrication Engineering at the Micro- and
Nanoscale (4th Edition, 2013) – Solutions
Manual – Campbell
Adhesion - answer-bonding of two materials using an adhesive material like glue or cement
alloy - answer-mixture of a metal with one or more additional elements. Often a combination of
two or more metals.
Casting and molding - answer-process of changing materials into a liquid or plastic state then
shaping them in or around a mold.
ceramic - answer-nonmetallic solids made from inorganic materials (often minerals). A very
hard, inorganic, refractory, nonmetallic material with little electrical conductivity.
cohesion - answer-joining of two materials through heat or pressure.
combining - answer-process of joining parts through mechanical assembly and bonding
Continuous Manufacturing - answer-type of manufacturing process that produces the highest
number of products at the highest quality and the lowest cost because plants are designed to
produce a specific product.
cost control - answer-system of ensuring the company is profitable by controlling the resources
used in the manufacture of products, including materials, machine time, and labor
1
, custom manufacturing - answer-type of manufacturing process that is used to produce a single
product or a small number of products, usually to meet a customer's particular need.
drilling - answer-act of cutting a circular hole down into the earth to extract water, natural gas,
oil, and other materials from under the earth's surface.
environmentally conscious manufacturing (ECM) - answer-Process concerned with the entire
life of a product from the time the raw materials are gathered to the time the product's life is
over and it is disposed of. Tries to minimize scrap, reduce or eliminate hazardous waste, and
makes the most effective use of natural resources.
facility engineering - answer-design of production facilities specifically for the efficient
production of products that will be made in them. Usually carried out by manufacturing
engineers with expertise in tools, materials, processes, and the product(s) to be manufactured.
fixture - answer-type of tooling used to guide a work piece.
flow process chart - answer-chart used to record and communicate the order of the processes
dictated by the manufacturing engineer to make each part.
Forming - answer-mechanical process used to change the shape of materials through
compression, bending, or stretching.
harvesting - answer-process of retrieving mature natural resources that grow on the earth. In
manufacturing, this commonly refers to the cutting of trees for wood and wood products.
intermittent manufacturing - answer-type of manufacturing process that produces smaller
