| Manufacturing | process of converting raw materials into products |
| Rough Forming | Casting, Forging, Welding |
| Finishing | Drilling, machining, surfacing |
| Assembling | The assembly of parts |
| Ferrous | contain iron and steel |
| Nonferrous | do not have iron content (such as copper and aluminum). |
| Alloys | mixture of two or more metals |
| Carbon and graphite | have low tensile strength (ability to be stretched). |
| Ceramics | are clay and glass materials. (resistant to heat, chemicals, & corrosion). |
| Annealing | is the process generally used to soften metal by heating followed by slow cooling. |
| Hardening | requires heating and then rapid cooling in oil or water. |
| Thermosetting | becoming permanently hard and unmoldable when once subjected to heat. |
| Thermoplastic | becoming or remaining soft and moldable when subjected to heat. |
| Extruding | The process of producing shapes by forcing hot metal through a die that has and opening of the desired shape. |
| Blow Molding | Used in the production of bottles, automotive ductwork, hollow toy components, and door panels. |
| Injection Molding | Used to manufacture products such as housings for electronic implements, automotive components, food storage containers, and components for medical applications. |
| CAD/CAM | The process of developing a design drawing on a CAD system and producing it on a computerized machine |
| Computer Numerical Control (CNC). | The process of converting the CAD drawing into a preprogrammed, coded instructions |
