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.
