Laminations minimize eddy currents, or current flow across the iron parts. This is one method to minimze stray losses.

Which material used to make a lathe bed?

Cast iron is used as the "material of choice" for many machinery housings or bases because it is extremely stable in its structure. Certainly it is subject to thermal expansion and contraction, but the crystal structure of cast iron makes it "hold its shape" in applications ranging from machines and machine parts to cookware. And in things like a lathe bed, we need the thing to be "the same" every day and all the time so we get accurate, consistent work. Cast iron also suppresses high frequencies generated during machining. Note that the ways (the parts of the bed that the carriage slides on), are hardened and machined to provide lasting and accurate surfaces.


Lamination of the iron core is used to reduce eddy current due to?

The laminations on the core of a transformer are actually insulated from each other. This means that there is no circuit for current to flow, but since the laminations are stacked in an alternating orientation, there is magnetic coupling. If the core were one piece, or the laminations where allowed to touch each other electrically, there would be current flow, i.e. eddy current flow, because the core would represent a one turn secondary that is shorted. This means low voltage, but high current capacity. This means power loss, and degradation of Q and efficiency in the transformer.

How do you get parallelism in lapping?

Typically, a double-sided lapping machine is used. The machine laps both sides of the part at the same time. The machines typically have a system of pins/gears and retainers that move the parts across the face of the plate as the plate spins. This helps ensure that parts wear uniformly.

Where and how does England use their raw materials and What is the role of their raw materials for England's economy?

They use raw material like coal and oil for fuel. The iron sorts like iron and tin, are used to especially making machine parts. Salt is used as an ingredients, and the limestone is used as an important founding element.

What form of energy do the moving parts of a machine have?

The moving parts of a machine have kinetic energy, which is the energy associated with their motion. This energy is the result of work being done to make the parts move and is typically used to perform mechanical tasks within the machine.
