Engineering Materials and
Manufacturing Processes
Lesson 3B
,Solidification Processing
In this manufacturing process
the starting work material is
either a liquid or is in a
highly plastic condition
the part is created through
solidification of the material.
Casting and moulding processes
this category of shaping operations.
,Solidification Processing
the solidification processes can be classified
as solidification of :
(1) metals
(2) ceramics, specifically glasses
(3) polymers and polymer matrix composites (PMCs).
