Understanding extrusion process
by
in MetalworkThe extrusion process is one of the most common processes in the production world today. It involves the use of a large variety of materials like metals, plastics, ceramics, etc. The process can be done in either hot or cold when better properties are required. Extrusion processes in metals may increase the strength of the…
Everything you need to know about plastic
by
in MetalworkWhen we look everywhere around us, we must find plastics. They make lives easier, safer, cleaner, and even more enjoyable. They are term commonly used to describe a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials which is used in different applications. Plastics can be found in our houses, clothes, cars, toys, screens, medical equipment, etc.…
Different Types of forging tools and equipment
by
in MetalworkUsing appropriate forging tools and equipment leads to perfect forge work. This forge is sometimes called hearth because it uses hearth as a source of heating metal for easy deformation. Modern forging equipment is highly automated, made of high-tech machinery, and has made life easier for blacksmiths. Read more: Different Types of forging tools and…
Different types of molding sand in casting
by
in MetalworkGood casting can be determined by the pattern and the types of molding sand used. One needs to understand the types of molding sand used in casting in order to perfectly create objects. Today you’ll get to know the various types of sand used in casting and how they work. Read more: What are the types…
Different types of forging defects, Causes and their remedies
by
in MetalworkDefects occur in forging despite it being one of the best manufacturing processes that give better mechanical properties. These defects need to be examined and can be prevented. Forging defects can be controlled by careful consideration of work material volume, good designing of the forging die, and the process. To avoid this forging defect, care…
Understanding Forging Process
by
in MetalworkTypically, an iron-related job is referred to as blacksmithy. By heating or cooling any piece of metal, then striking it with a regular hammer or a machine designed for this purpose, forging involves giving the metal the appropriate shape. Small forging tasks can be completed by striking the material with a hammer, but heavier forging…
Different types of forging operations
Small forging operations can be completed by striking the material with a hammer, but heavier forging tasks are only completed by machines. There are three main techniques to forge. Typically, an iron-related job is referred to as blacksmithy. By heating or cooling any piece of metal, then striking it with a regular hammer or a machine…
Different Types of Forging process
Since the earliest Mesopotamians, forging has been a standard method of metal manufacture. Forging uses compressive, confined forces to shape metal. Forging has undergone major improvements since it first emerged in the fertile crescent, making it a more effective, quick, and durable technique. This is due to the fact that forging is now typically carried…
Difference between Forging and Casting
by
in MetalworkMetal components and products are produced using a variety of methods. Cutting, folding, welding, machining, punching, stamping, shearing, casting, and forging are all part of the metal fabrication process. While many of them alter the alloy’s shape, only casting and forging alter the metal’s shape at the inner level, enabling a more profound alteration. Metal-based…
