6.1 Housing of gearbox
analyse and identify the manufacturing processes used to make thecomponent – both primary (bulk shape forming) and secondary (orfinishing) processes. Include sub-sub-section as follows for eachcomponent:
o 6.1.1 Component Observations
? Describe your observations of the physical component whichindicate what manufacturing processes were performed.
o 6.1.2 Manufacturing Process
? With supporting literature and research, describe the chosenmanufacturing process concisely in detail, noting its advantagesand disadvantages – describe it in the context of the gearbox youare looking it, not just generally.
? Detail the advantages and disadvantages of these processes
? Relate the chosen method to production volume of thegearbox.
o 6.1.3 Material Relationship
? Relate to the material and its appropriateness in thismanufacturing method (e.g. does it have suitable castability?)
Thank you.
