Methods suitable for the manual assembly may not be the best methods for automated assembly. Some assembly operations readily performed by a human worker are quite ..
Electrochemical Deburring: Electrochemical deburring (ECD) is an adaptation of Electrochemical Machining (ECM) process designed to remove burrs or to round sharp ..
Broaching is performed using a multiple-teeth cutting tool by moving the device linearly about the work in the direction of the tool axis, as in Figure 1. The machine ..
In Plasma-arc Welding (PAW) is an arc welding process, a concentrated plasma arc is produced and directed towards the weld area. The arc is stable and reaches temperatures ..
General characteristics of different forming and shaping processes such as flat rolling, shape rolling, drawing, extrusion, forging, forming and shaping of ceramics, ..
Power reactors can be heterogeneous or homogeneous. A heterogeneous power reactor has a large number of fuel rods with the coolant circulating around them and carrying ..
Jigs and fixtures are essential to working holding and tool holding devices in industries. These devices facilitate clamping of the workpiece on the machine tool ..
Most commercial castings are made of alloys rather than pure metals. Alloys are easier to cast and properties of the resulting product are better compared to pure ..
Sheet metal drawing is a more complex operation than cutting or bending operation, and more things can go wrong during sheet metal drawing. A number of defects can occur ..
Shaping processes for the rubber products can be divided into four basic categories. They are: Extrusion, Calendering, Coating, and Molding and casting. In shaping ..
Coefficient of Friction The coefficient of friction (μ), is a measure of the amount of friction existing between two surfaces. A low value of the coefficient ..
Extrusion products may get defect to the considerable deformation associated with extrusion operations; some defects can occur in extruded products. The defects ..
The lubrication is the supply of oil between two surfaces having relative movement. While applying lubrication to engine parts one should choose good lubricant to ..
There are a wide variety of geometries that are measured in angular units. These varieties include angular separation of bounding planes, digression from a basic ..
