Everything you need to know about powder metallurgy
by
in MetalworkPowder metallurgy is one of the important course mechanical engineers must know. Products made of this material are common around us most especially auto parts. Powder metallurgy comprises a family of production technologies, used to manufacture components of various types. Besides, powder metallurgy which is abbreviated as PM is a term covering a wide range…
Different types of metals and their classifications
by
in MetalworkThere are various types of metals out there suitable for specific applications. Even though metals are made by mining ore from within the earth. They are extracted from rocks in a large-scale industrial process. Leaving that aside, our purpose here is to discuss the different types of metals and their functions. But before that, different…
Everything you need to know about keys and keyways (keyed joints)
by
in MetalworkIn the mechanical engineering field, keyed joints are made up of keys and keyways. These keys can be machined into different forms depending on the type of key joints required. Keyways are machined surfaces on a shaft in the dimension of the key. They are fixed together to ensure no pulling apart of components and…
Everything you need to know about cam and follower
by
in MetalworkIn mechanical engineering, a higher pair links mechanism is known as a cam and follower mechanism. The cam and follower are machined types of roller or needle bearings designed to work on each other. They come in a vast array of various configurations and they work depending on their applications and final output. Today you’ll…
Understanding car electrical system
In automobiles, especially the modern ones, varieties of parts are electronics and operate electrically. Well, charging systems are the basic electrical system in a vehicle which include an alternator, battery, and voltage regulator. These components are a source of power to other electrical components in the vehicle. Although voltage regulators are included in the alternator…
Understand the various types of relays
The protection and switching of numerous control systems and other electrical elements depend on relays. To open or close the contacts or electronics, all relays respond to voltage or current. Because of the effectiveness of relays, several types are available out there to offer different effects to applications. These relays are either operated electromechanical or electronically.…
different between welding and brazing joining process
by
in MetalworkWelding vs Brazing Welding and brazing are very common joining processes widely used in the engineering world. The difference between the two is very obvious in their appearance and when put to service. These two methods can be used to join broken parts and or to fill a gap in metals. Today we are going…
Difference between brazing and soldering
The difference between brazing and soldering has been one of the most asked questions among engineering pupils in our world today. The two joining process has some great similarities, but many metallurgical differences. These processes are used to join metals together and create a bond between the metal being joined. However, they use different techniques…
The Three basic types of soldering
Soldering is one of the best ways to join some parts like electrical, mechanical, etc. components, which are of three different types. If the soldering process is not perfectly done, that is, if a proper amount of heat and flux is not applied. The end result is definitely bad, producing a weaker and poorer joint.…
Understanding Soldering process
soldering process Soldering is a joining process that uses solder to join two different metal parts together. The solder is made of a metal alloy usually tin and lead, which is melted on the surface that requires joining. The joining is done using soldering iron when heated above 600 degrees Fahrenheit which is above the…
