Different Types of Metal Casting Processes in Manufacturing
What is metal Casting Process? Casting is a manufacturing process that involves pouring molten material into casting mold and then allowing material to solidify. The Solidified material takes the shape of casting mold and known as Casting.Cast ...
What is Mechanical Coupling : Types Applications
Mechanical Coupling are used to connect driver and driven shafts and transfer torque between them. Coupling is a very important element in connecting two shafts because it reduces the impact of misalignment between shafts. For example, Shaft from the engi ...
Mechanical Properties of a Material
Mechanical properties of material defines material behavior under load conditions such as tension, compression and shear forces. These properties help in the selection of material during product and process design. For example to draw wire. We select a ma ...
What is Heat Treatment : Heat Treatment in Steel
Heating is a very important part of our life. Similar to food that changes its properties after heating. A Material also changes their properties when it is heated and allowed to cool it. This process of heating and cooling materials is known as heat trea ...
What is Least Count and how to calculate it?
Least count of an instrument has a direct relationship with the measuring instrument accuracy and precision. For example, to measure 6.2 ± 0.25 mm dimension, a ruler is not a right measurement tool. Because the minimum dimension a ruler can measure accura ...
Accuracy vs Precision : What is the difference
Accuracy and precision are widely used to evaluate the performance of repeated tasks or measurements. For example, to evaluate the performance of a process on the shop floor, process accuracy and precision is measured. But sometimes these two terms are co ...
What is Free Body Diagram and How to Draw FBD?
What is Free Body Diagram ? Free body diagram or FBD is a graphical representation of the relative magnitude and direction of all the forces acting on a body in given conditions. It is used to calculate forces acting on a body in moving and stationary ...
