Study Notes
Machine Tools and Operations
- A Planer is used for producing flat surfaces on large, heavy, or awkwardly shaped pieces.
- Grinding involves shaping a piece by contact with a rotating abrasive wheel.
- A Caliper is a measuring tool specifically designed for measuring diameters.
- Dial Indicators are used to align machine tools, inspect trueness, and compare various measurements.
- Plasticity refers to the metal's ability to deform significantly without breaking.
Machining Techniques
- Laying Out is the process of marking center points, circles, arcs, or lines on metal surfaces.
- Reaming is the operation of sizing and finishing holes using a multi-edged cutting tool.
- Countersinking creates a cone-shaped enlargement at the hole's end, typically for flat head screws.
- Boring enlarges holes using an adjustable cutting tool with a single cutting edge.
Gears and Bolts
- The Pitch Circle is the imaginary circle that runs through the contact points of meshing gears.
- Carriage Bolts are designed for fastening wooden components, preventing rotation within the material.
- Diametral Pitch refers to the number of gear teeth per inch of pitch diameter.
- Circular Pitch measures the distance from the center of one gear tooth to the next.
- Addendum is the part of the gear tooth above the pitch circle, while Dedendum is below it.
Machine Tool Structures
- A Gear Rack converts rotary motion into reciprocating motion.
- Worm Gears are utilized for high-speed ratio applications.
- Bevel Gears transmit motion between shafts at an angle.
Metal Treatment Processes
- Normalizing involves heating steel above hardening temperatures and cooling it in air.
- Quenching is the rapid cooling of metal in water, brine, or oil to harden it.
- Annealing softens hard-to-machine metal through slow heating and cooling.
- Tolerance is the permissible variation in the size of a dimension.
Precision Machining
- Squaring is the machining of a workpiece's end to ensure it is perpendicular to its axis.
- Backslash refers to the clearance between gear tooth profiles.
- A Dividing Head aids indexing in machine tools.
Machining Tools
- An Abrasive is any material that can wear away softer substances.
- A Tap is a cylindrical tool with threads for cutting internal threads.
- Feeler Gages measure and check clearances using various thickness strips.
- A Slotter functions like a shaper but has a vertically reciprocating ram.
Specialized Fasteners and Devices
- Stud Bolts feature threading on both ends and no heads.
- An Independent Chuck uses adjustable jaws for gripping.
- A Mandrel provides centers for machining operations.
- Universal Chucks are not meant for extreme precision.
Other Key Concepts
- Knurling creates a textured pattern on surfaces.
- A Live Center rotates with the work and supports it.
- Steel Balls for bearings are produced via Cold Heading.
- The Headstock in a lathe includes the spindle and gears for speed settings.
Material Stress and Behavior
- Ultimate Stress is the maximum stress before material failure.
- Endurance Point measures the stress experienced under repeated loading cycles.
- Cold working increases fatigue strength by altering the material's internal structure.
Gears and Cams
- A Cylindrical Cam allows a follower to oscillate parallel to its axis.
- A Radial Cam permits oscillation perpendicular to its axis.
- Harmonic Cams are best for engines with low to moderate speeds.
Manufacturing Elements
- The specific gravity of lead is the highest among common materials.
- Injection Molding is the process for shaping thermoplastic materials.
- Duralumin undergoes age-hardening, enhancing its strength over time.
Mechanical Behavior
- A Homogeneous body has uniform properties throughout.
- An elastic material can return to original dimensions after load removal.
- Delta iron appears between 1400°C and 1539°C during iron processing.
Miscellaneous
- The factor of safety for cast iron flywheels typically ranges from 10 to 13.
- Rope brake dynamometers operate without any lubricants.
- For up to 4 mm thickness plates, edge preparation for welding is unnecessary.
