UFMF88-30-2: Screw Press Design, Material Selection, Cost Analysis

This report outlines the design activities for producing a screw power press, focusing on material selection for key components like shafts, gears, and screws, and a cost analysis. Utilizing the CES software, optimal materials were chosen based on mechanical and thermal properties, with low alloy steel selected for shafts due to its high fatigue strength and fracture toughness, ductile cast iron for gears due to its machinability and cost-effectiveness, and low alloy steel for the screw due to its yield strength and cost. Cost estimations using Solidworks are presented for the screw, sun shaft, and spur gear, providing a detailed breakdown of material and manufacturing costs.
