Document Summary
The strategy for selecting processes parallels that for selecting materials. Specify the material and read off the processes or the reverse: specify the process and read off the materials. Shaping process: each material class has its own set of shaping routes. Joining processes using adhesives and fasteners can be used with most materials. Finishing processes are used primarily for the harder materials. Extrusion, rolling, or drawing have a special feature: they can be made in continuous lengths. The other shapes cannot they are discrete, and the processes that make them are called batch processes. If the process cannot make the shape we want, it may be possible to combine it with a secondary process. Each bar spans the size range of which the process is capable without undue technical. Each bar spans the size range of which the process is capable without undue technical difficulty.
