ASSIGNMENT 2

Mechanical properties are a major consideration on the final product’s performance. The selected
material will be exposed to numerous external stresses during the casting and machining operations,
as well as during the duration of the product's useful life. It is the responsibility of the manufacturers
to design products that function as required at every stage. Manufacturing professionals can choose
the best materials and procedures by studying mechanical properties.

How a material responds to applied loads or forces is described by its mechanical properties.
Manufacturers must have a thorough grasp of the working environment of a part before
recommending an acceptable material since these attributes are not constant; they change
depending on temperature and other environmental conditions. The main mechanical
characteristics of metals are machinability, wear resistance, strength and repairability.

Machinability is an ability of a metal to be easily cut allows for the removal of the material with a
good finish at a reasonable price. Materials with strong machinability take less power to cut, go
through the cutting process fast, finish with ease, and don't put a lot of stress on the equipment.
Because there are so many factors that might affect the machining process, machinability can be
challenging to predict. Wear resistance determines the working life of the friction materials during
service; it is determined by the ingredients and manufacturing technique. By measuring the wear
rate and the aggregate wear rate for each sample in the study, the wear resistance of samples with
various resin contents was compared. The results of the wear tests showed that the manufacturing
process and resin content had a significant impact on the samples' wear rates, and that this impact
grew as the test temperature rose.

The strength of a material is its resistance to failure by permanent deformation (usually by yielding).
A strong material requires high loads to permanently deform (or break) it - not to be confused with a
stiff material, which requires high loads to elastically deform it. Repairability is a measure of the
degree to and ease with which a product can be repaired and maintained, usually by end consumers.
Repairable products are put in contrast to obsolescence or products designed with planned
obsolescence.

The most crucial mechanical characteristics in manufacturing depend on the intended application of
the product. Since mechanical qualities vary depending on the environment, a full investigation of
the environment in which the product will operate, including temperature, moisture, and load
requirements, must be done as part of the product design process. Additionally, manufacturers must
consider any shaping procedures the material will go through before becoming a finished good.
Finding a balance between performance measurements, like strength, and process metrics, such
machinability, is a common challenge for engineers and metallurgists.
