Study Notes
Quenching and Sealing
- Quenching involves cooling heated materials rapidly, often using water, brine, or oil to harden them.
- Seals are devices that prevent the leakage of media.
Welding Processes
- Brazing is a welding operation where a non-ferrous filler metal melts below the temperature of the base metal, specifically above 450°C.
- Gas welding requires a torch that mixes gases and burns them to facilitate welding operations.
Metalworking Techniques
- Forging is the process of shaping metals through sudden impact or steady pressure.
- Milling produces various surface finishes with a circular cutter equipped with multiple teeth.
- Annealing softens metals through controlled heating close to their melting point, followed by slow cooling.
Material Properties
- The endurance limit denotes the maximum stress a material can withstand under repeated loading without failing.
- Strain represents total deformation in the direction of applied stress.
- The elastic limit is the highest stress a material can endure without permanent deformation.
Strength and Resistance
- Strength indicates a metal's ability to withstand stress without breaking down.
- Insulators are materials that resist electric current flow, crucial for preventing leakage.
Alloys and Metals
- Mercury is the only metal that remains liquid at room temperature.
- Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc; bronze typically consists of copper and tin.
Tools and Machinery
- Dividers are tools with hardened points for scribing circles and measuring distances.
- A tap is a tool for cutting internal threads, while a feeler gauge measures clearances using thin metal strips.
- A slotter is similar to a shaper, but with a vertically reciprocating ram.
Chuck Types and Devices
- Stud bolts have threads at both ends and no heads.
- Independent chucks allow for separate adjustments of jaws, providing versatility.
- Universal chucks are less accurate and should not be used for precision tasks.
Specialized Operations
- Knurling creates checkered patterns on surfaces to improve grip.
- A live center is a bearing surface that revolves with the workpiece on a lathe.
- Grinding involves shaping materials using a rotating abrasive wheel.
Measurement and Alignment
- Calipers measure diameters, while dial indicators are used for testing alignment and checking the trueness of finished work.
- Laying out involves marking surfaces for guidance in machining.
Cutting and Boring Operations
- Reaming sizes and finishes holes with a multi-edged cutting tool.
- Countersinking enlarges hole openings for flat head screws.
- Boring increases the diameter of holes using a single-edged adjustable cutting tool.
Gearing and Mechanical Terms
- The pitch circle is the imaginary circle through points of contact on meshing gear teeth.
- A specialized bolt type is used for securing wooden components together or fastening wood to metal.
