Several welding processes are available; however, their application is dictated by the mechanical properties, type of welded joints, the quality required in the service ..
Whenever the tool is not performing the machining operation satisfactorily, there is a cutting tool’s failure. The following drawbacks are observed if the tool ..
The tool life can be defined in three different ways. The machining time between two successive regrinding of a cutting tool is called tool life. It is most commonly ..
This article summarizes and definitions of standard heat treatment processes like annealed, normalized, quench, hardened and tempered. Annealed: Annealed ..
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 ..
Electrochemical Deburring: Electrochemical deburring (ECD) adapts the Electrochemical Machining (ECM) process designed to remove burrs or sharp round corners on metal ..
A shaper machine is a reciprocating machine that produces horizontal, vertical, or flat surfaces. The shaper holds the single point cutting tool in ram and the workpiece ..
The tightening tools include pliers, screwdrivers and wrenches, which are discussed under. 1. Pliers Pliers are namely ordinary needle noses and particular types ..
