Plastic Extrusion Process Principles

Extrusion Process Principles Extrusion process is very common in the plastic industry. It is used for high volume plastic production. In extrusion process the color pigments along with other performance enhancing additives are combined with resin which is then pushed through the rotating screws. The heat and pressure generated within the barrels of screw is dispersed and melts the plastic

Sand Casting Process with Diagram

Sand casting: In sand casting which is also known as sand molded casting, an object is produced by sand mold. The process involves pouring of the molten metal in to the mold cavity. The molten metal is then cooled to the room temperature. The metal is solidified. After cooling, the metal object is separated from the mold. Sand casting process has its advantages and disadvantages. So care

What is Brazing-Principles

Discovering Brazing (Braze Welding) Brazing is a gas welding process in which you join metals by using heat that surpasses the 800 degree Fahrenheit mark and a nonferrous (iron-free) filler rod with a melting temperature below that of the base materials. The most important point about brazing is that you can use it to join dissimilar metals — cast iron to steel, brass to steel, or copper to

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) Principles

EDM is a non-conventional machining technique uniquely used for cutting metals which are not possible to cut with traditional methods. EDM only works with materials which are electrically conductive. Delicate cavities and intricate contours which are difficult to produce with a grinder or other machines can be done with Electrical Discharge Machining or EDM. The cutting tool for EDM may be made

Match Plate Pattern - Used in Casting (With diagram)

What is Match - Plate Pattern The match plate pattern is almost similar to the mounted pattern but it can have part of the casting in the cope and part in the drag like split piece pattern. These parts are generally attached to the plate / board in opposite sides in the perfect positions. When the plate is removed and mold is in close position the cavities in the cop and drag match perfectly.

Ultrasonic Machining (USM) Working Principles

In this process the material of the workpiece is removed by the repetitive impact actions of abrasive particles. The erosion takes place by the abrasive particles which are carried by a liquid medium in the from of a slurry . A shaped vibrating tool is used to produce the impact. The term shaped is used to explain that the process is capable enough to create 3D profiles in correspondence to the

Water Jet Machining (WJM) Advantages and Disadvantages

In Water jet Machining no abrasive is used. Water jet alone is used for cutting. In WJM, materials like concrete, asbestos, wood, rocks, coal, textiles and leather can be cut. The material is removed by means of erosion. These days hydraulic coal mining as well as tunneling, descaling and cleaning is also done by this process. Water Jet Machining (WJM) Principles As

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF WELDING

Like all joining processes (in fact, like all processes!), welding offers several advantages but has some disadvantages as well. The most significant advantage of welding is undoubtedly that it provides exceptional structural integrity, producing joints with very high efficiencies. The strength of joints that are welded continuously (i.e.,full length, without intentional skipped areas) can easily

Magnetically Impelled Arc Butt Welding Principles

Magnetically impelled arc butt (MIAB) welding (sometimes referred to as rotating arc welding) is a rapid, clean, and reliable arc welding process that employs forging to produce the finished weld. As such, it is classified as an electric arc welding process since that is the energy source for producing melting or fusion, even though pressure from forging is needed to complete the weld. It is

Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM) Process Advantages and Disadvantages

Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM) Principles In abrasive jet machining process, a focused steam of abrasive particles (of size 10 to 40 microns) carried by high pressure gas or air at a velocity of about 150 to 300 m/sec is made to impinge on the work surface through a nozzle, and the work material is removed by erosion by the high velocity abrasive particles. The inside diameter (ID) of the

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)-TIG welding operations

Gas-tungsten arc welding (GTAW) uses a permanent, non-consumable tungsten electrode to create an arc to a workpiece. This electrode is shielded by an inert gas, such as argon or helium (or a mixture of the two), to prevent electrode degradation; hence the older, common names tungsten-inert gas (TIG) and heli-arc welding. As shown in Figure below, current from the power supply is passed to the

Aluminothemic Welding or Thermit Welding Principles

Aluminotherrnic welding is commonly known as Thermit welding. As a subset, these processes use the heat from highly exothermic chemical reactions of solid, particulate materials (or, occasionally, solid particles and a gas) to produce melting and joining, also called coalescence, between metals. Most often, the reactants employed are oxides with low heats of formation and metallic reducing

Different Miller TIG Welder Models

Welding is an art. There are different types of welding methods. TIG or Tungsten Inert Gas Welding is technique for great welded joints. TIG or Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) needs some great craftsmanship to master. And for this reason we need some decent welding machine from a renowned company. Miller TIG Welder is great when it comes to weld an accurate and clean weld. Please Read : Miller

TIG Welding Basics

The History of TIG Welding Russel Meredith applied for a patent for TIG or GTAW in 1941. He is most credible for the invention of TIG welding. The main application of TIG or GTAW is found in effective welding of light aircraft. MIG welding of GMAW was invented before TIG welding but light aircrfat welding needed more reliable welding as well as more fusion power and TIG welding is very

Types Welding Electrodes explained – Non consumable-Consumable electrodes

The piece of wire or rod used to carry current for welding is known as an electrode or welding electrode. It may or may not have flux covering. The electrode produces arc at one end and other end is gripped by a electrode holder. In this article we will discuss the classification of welding electrode as well as explain different welding electrodes types. Please read about: Different types of

Different Sand Casting Process- Advantages and Disadvantages

If it is assumed that a single process is good enough to approach practical problems in production then it is a total non-sense. There are a lot of methods useful for manufacturing goods. The most difficult part is selecting the right method of production. For manufacturing a product one should bear in mind its appropriate configuration, financial conditions and adequate supplies of materials and

Different Types of Welding Defects

In this article we will be - Identifying common welding defects Preventing and fixing problems with your welds If I could wave my magic filler rod and make it so that all your welds would be strong, clean, and sharp-looking, I’d certainly do it. But the last time I went to the welding supply shop and asked to buy a magic filler rod, they looked at me like I was nuts, so for now you just have to

Resistance Projection Welding (RPW) Advantages and Disadvantages

Working Principle of Resistance Projection Welding (RPW) In resistance projection welding (RPW), small projections are formed on one or both pieces of the base metal to obtain contact at a point which localize the current flow and concentrate the heat. Under pressure, the heated and softened projections collapse and a weld is formed. Projection on the upper component is pressed against the

Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) Working Principle and Advantages-disadvantages

Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) Working Principle Resistance Spot welding is comparatively modern welding process. It came in to the field of welding in between years 1900 - 1905. It is a most widely used resistance welding method. The main purpose of resistance spot welding method is to join two to four light gauge overlapping metal sheets (which can have thickness up to 3 mm) . At first
