The product which I will be using is a wrench due to the fact that it is a tool which almost everybody uses. The wrench could be used for many different reasons and it is used by all different types of engineering sectors such as: mechanical; aerospace and many more like communication engineer. Furthermore; this tool is important since, it can help the manufacturer with many things from tightens a bolts and or make It lose once again. The first wrench which was manufactured in 1835 by a man named Solymon Merrick. There are many method which involve in the process of manufacturing a wrench. There are many steps which involve manufacturing a wrench, the steps are complex therefore; they have to be made in a factory, all this process are …show more content…

Furthermore; if there are any hazards in the work place due to either no enough PPE and or lack of equipment which actually works this could mean that there will be many law sues since; the manufactures could hurt themselves. Moreover; gloves are also needed due to the fact that it is a PPE and also it essential because it could protect you from harm furthermore; the law of personal protective act which was regulated in 1992 which state that the employee must be trained to use the manufacturing tool and must wear protective equipment at all time. There are an advantages of this process for example the chromium plating also known as chrome plating has a great surface finished product which suggests the that the product will be smooth and will not contain any rough edges in any corner, additionally is has zero to no rusting properties which is a good thing since, this suggests that the product will be more lasting as well as is will have a longer life as too …show more content…

Forging is a faster process than casting therefore; the continuous product of the forging will be more reliable. On the other hand, the forging machinery will sometimes require metal-forming dies therefore; the machine will have to reach the correct temperature to properly shape the pieces. The only difference is that the two methods have different processes which manufactures the product such as the forging process basically involves shaping the raw material using compressive force whereas; casting is a way that the raw material has to be liquefied an poured into a mold and the shape is made correctly. There are many limitations to using a casting machine to a forging for example, the casting’s advantages is that any type of metal could be used to cast which is good however, the company will only be using one for its method to manufacture a wrench significantly, any size of casting could be produced which suggest heavy products could be used up to 200 tons. Furthermore, casting is the best machinery to use to composite components
