Understanding projectile motion
by
An object or particle (referred to as a projectile) is launched close to the surface of the earth, where it moves along a curved path only under the influence of gravity. The only significant force acting on the object is gravity, which pulls it downward and accelerates it in that path. The motion can be…
Conventional and non-conventional types of machining processes
by
in MetalworkThere are various ways or techniques of machining which are categorized into conventional and non-conventional. Production or manufacturing can be simply defined as value addition processes in which low utility and value raw materials are converted into high utility and valued products with definite dimensions, forms, and finishes imparting some functional ability due to inadequate…
Understanding conventional machining process
by
in MetalworkMachining is a metal removing process. It removes a material & decreases the material mass hence this is a subtractive process. The conventional machining process is also known as a traditional machining process. It is the basic method of the metal removing process that removes a material and decreases metal mass. Because of the abrasive…
Difference between dynamic and positive displacement pump
by
The various types of pumps are categorized into dynamic and positive displacement pumps. A pump which is a mechanical device is used in transporting fluids (liquids or gasses). Its work is achieved by mechanical action converted from electrical energy into hydraulic energy. The dynamic and positive displacement pumps are seen as a device that expends…
Understanding centrifugal pump
by
In industry today, centrifugal pumps are one of the most commonly used types. It is used to transport fluid by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. This energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor. Today you’ll get to know the definition, functions, applications, components, classifications,…
Things you need to know about honing process
by
in MetalworkThe honing process is a micro-finishing process used to obtain perfect hole geometry. Industries today see the great importance of honing machines as the process offers final sizing and creates the desired finish pattern on the interior of tubing or cylinder bores. This process may be considered a machining process because the removal of microchips…
Things you need to know about lapping process
by
in MetalworkLapping is a popular operation today used for various surface finishing operations, using loose abrasive powders as grinding agents. It is performed normally at low speeds. This mechanical process is carried out on products that demand very tight tolerances of flatness, parallelism, thickness or finish. Applications of lapping processes include cutting tools, printing equipment, transmission…
Everything you need to know about hydraulic press
by
in MetalworkA hydraulic press is a machine press that generates compressive force by the use of a hydraulic cylinder. It is a device that is used for lifting heavyweights with the application of a much smaller force. The hydraulic press was invented by Joseph Bramah in England. He accomplished the project in the 17th century (1795).…
Difference between drilling, boring and reaming
Knowing the difference between drilling, boring, and reaming which is quite confusing to most people. Today I will be clarifying their differences to you. Read more: Working of drilling machine on wood & metal Sure, drilling boring and reaming are three different processes performed by manufacturing companies. They involve creating and modifying holes on a workpiece.…
Components of drilling machine
A drilling machine is a hole-making equipment, it consists of some parts to make it effective in achieving its purposes. With the use of the cutting tool (drill bit) drilling operations such as boring, reaming, counterboring, countersinking, etc. can be achieved. Today we’ll look into different drilling machine components which include; base, column or pillar,…
Different Types of Drilling Machines
The various types of drilling operations perform today have caused the availability of different types of drilling machines. Some drills are quite easy to achieve and some require high skills of knowledge to accomplish them. Well, all types of drilling machines are classified to be hand feed or power feed. All of them are considered…
Different types of Lathe machine operation
There is various operation performed with the lathe machine. The Operation might vary based on the fact that the use of lathes is broad, such as metalworking, woodworking, etc. The machine helps to shape several material pieces into desired shapes. And in the metalworking field, it rotates the piece on the axis in order to…
Different types of lathe machine and their classification
Due to how the functionality and how effective lathe machine has become in its operation, different types have been available over the years. However, classifying them into categories is not an easy task which is why this post was published. Read: Understanding lathe machine Lathe machines of different types and sizes are purposely designed to suit…
Parts of lathe machine
by
So far, we’ve put together the major things to know about lathe machines but in brief. Today we’ll be looking in-depth at the major parts of lathe machines and their functions. If you must know, there are some basic parts learners must know and how they work. These basic parts include: Head-stock – this part…
Understanding lathe machine
by
The lathe machine is one of the oldest machine tools and is considered the mother of all machine tools. It is a machine tool that rotates a workpiece about an axis of rotation to perform various operations as well as give the workpiece desired shape and size. Today we’ll be looking into the meaning, history,…
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…
