Question

To make 5 aluminum wheels with smooth surface and precise dimension as shown in Figure 1 for one time order, what manufacturing processes would you suggest for the part.

  • a)Sand casting, which has much lower initial tooling cost than die casting

 

  • b)Machining processes from the 4 inch diameter round aluminum rods in stock.
    1. cut the rod into one inch long pieces with bandsaws
    2. drill the 0.88 inch diameter center hole on a lathe
    3. bore the 3.5 inch diameter inside blind hole on the same lathe
    4. drill the three 0.5 inch diameter holes on a milling machine or a drill press

 

  • c)forging process with rounded edges and corners

 

  • d)die casting, which can make the part in high production rate with smooth surface and precise dimension
