Auto-components
1. Sheet Metal Fabrication process:
Shearing- sheet metal is cut into large role or flat surfaces.
Punching - holes are made in metal sheet & Blanking - final product is cut and
rest is discarded as scrap
Laser Cutting - different designs are created (waterjet and plasma cutting also
used)
Bending - adding shapes to workpiece
Hemming- rolling sheets onto itself creating area of two layers
Curling - forming edges in a hollow ring
Welding - joining two or multiple metal sheets through heat and applying
pressure (TUNGSTEN INERT GAS & METAL INERT GAS two types of welding)
2. Bearings manufacturing:
used to reduce friction btw moving parts
Material Selection – Choose high-grade steel or ceramic.
Cutting – Cut steel rods into bearing-sized blanks.
Forging – Heat and press blanks into ring shapes.
Turning – Machine rings to near-final dimensions.
Heat Treatment – Harden rings for strength.
Grinding – Precisely grind ring surfaces.
Ball Making – Form, grind, and polish steel balls.
Assembly – Fit rings, balls, and cage together.
Auto-components 1
Lubrication – Add grease or oil.
Sealing – Attach shields or seals.
Inspection – Check for size, noise, and defects.
Packaging – Pack bearings for shipment.
3. Seats manufacturing:
Designing – Create ergonomic and safety-focused seat designs using CAD.
Frame Fabrication – Cut, bend, and weld metal to form the seat structure.
Spring Installation – Fit support springs or wire meshes onto the frame.
Foam Molding – Mold polyurethane foam to form seat cushions.
Trimming – Cut and stitch upholstery material (leather or fabric).
Upholstery – Fit and attach the cover over the foam and frame.
Adding Features – Install headrests, recliners, heaters, airbags, etc.
Inspection – Check dimensions, comfort, finish, and functionality.
Packaging – Pack and label for shipment to car manufacturers.
4. Steel Wheel Manufacturing:
Blanking – Cut steel sheets into circular blanks.
Forming – Press and shape blanks into discs and rims.
Welding – Weld disc and rim together to form the wheel.
Hole Drilling – Drill bolt holes and valve holes.
Surface Treatment – Clean, coat, and paint for corrosion resistance.
Inspection – Check for cracks, strength, and balance.
Packaging – Pack and ship to vehicle plants.

5. Plastic moulding parts manufacturing:
Material Prep – Plastic pellets are prepared and mixed if needed.
Melting – Pellets are heated until they melt.
Mould Filling – Molten plastic is injected or poured into a mould.
Cooling – The mould is cooled to harden the plastic.
Mould Opening – The mould is opened after solidification.
Ejection – The solid part is ejected from the mould.
Finishing – Extra material is trimmed and surfaces are cleaned.
Packaging – Parts are packed or moved for assembly.
6. Polymers usecases and manufacturing:
🛠️ Use Cases of Polymers
Packaging – Plastic bags, bottles, containers
Automotive – Bumpers, dashboards, fuel tanks
Textiles – Nylon, polyester, spandex in clothing
Electronics – Insulation for wires, circuit boards
Medical – Disposable syringes, implants, gloves
Construction – Pipes (PVC), window frames, adhesives
Household Items – Toys, kitchenware, furniture
🏭 Manufacturing of Polymers
Monomer Selection – Choose the raw material (e.g., ethylene for
polyethylene)
Auto-components 3
Polymerization – Chemical process to join monomers into long chains (via
heat, pressure, catalysts)
Forming – The polymer is shaped using moulding, extrusion, or casting
Cooling and Solidifying – The shaped material is cooled to become solid
Finishing – Cutting, trimming, coloring, or adding additives
Packaging – Final products are packed and shipped
