Write an example for thermosetting plastic and thermo plastic?

Thermoplastics can be repeatedly softened by heating and hardened by cooling. Thermosetting plastics, however, harden permanently after being heated once.

An example of thermoplastic is polypropylene (PP - recycling number 5).

An example of thermosetting plastic is polyurathane (PU).

What is the difference between intermittent and continuous production processes?

An intermittent process is something that goes on and off a bit any old how, w/o any obvious rhythm to it. A continuous process is something that just runs and runs.

What are the different types of technology available for inputting formatting and editing text?

keyboard scanner word prosseser and to give copies to printer The standard technology to use for input of text is a keyboard and more recently, a scanner. The keys are depressed on the keyboard and whatever the user depresses is transferred to the word processor, built into the office application in use. Using a scanner enables one to manipulate text after converting it from jpeg to Word. A scanner can also save in PDF format and there are programs to convert this to Word as well.

What happens when you put steel wool in a jar?

Steel wool is not soluble in water, neither can it absorb water but can get wet so if you take the steel wool out of the water the wet (due to capillary action and surface tension) steel wool will weigh more than dry steel wool. Then the steel wool will rust (and the mass will increase because oxygen unites with iron to form the rust).

What is cast iron?

Cast iron is, as the name implies, "iron" which has been "cast", or melted and poured into a mold. The material is usually not really pure iron but rather an alloy including carbon and (often) silicon.

Is iron a carcinogens?

Iron is not a carcinogen. Iron is a mineral which can be found in a human body. Even iron oxide is not a carcinogen.

Which steel is expensive hot rolled or cold rolled?

It takes much more energy to roll a sheet of metal in cold rolling than it does for hot rolling. Heating up a sheet of metal makes the material more malleable, so when it is rolled between two rollers, it can form into a flat sheet much easier. A cold sheet of metal that is not heated up will be put through the rollers and have a higher amount of energy needed to push it through. Though there is less heating required, this is balanced out by the fact that it must be pushed through with more energy.The cold rolling process is an expensive one, especially compared to the process of hot rolling sheet metal. For example, since cold rolling requires that workers frequently clean parts like the rollers, cold rolling has extra costs for any supplies needed to clean the parts, downtime while the parts are being cleaned and labor costs for the worker who does the cleaning. Also, the additional energy needed in the cold rolling process adds cost to the final product.

Is printing ink exspencive?

Printing ink can be expensive, especially for high-quality or specialized inks. The cost of printing ink can vary depending on factors such as the type of ink, color, quantity needed, and the brand. It is important to consider the cost of ink when budgeting for printing projects.

What is the ASTM equivalent of DIN 1543?

The ASTM equivalent of DIN 1543 is ASTM A572. Both of these materials are a type of carbon steel.

How do you calculate the compression strength of paper corrugated box?

Corrugated Board - Ring Crush Test : Ring Crush is a traditional test of linerboard and corrugating medium strength. Ring crush measures compression resistance, and this compression strength is considered to relate to the eventual compression strength of combined board made from the component. Linerboard called high strength or high performance linerboard is board that is able to achieve a specified minimum ring crush at basis weights that are lower than traditional basis weights. Corrugated Board - Concora Crush Test : The Concora Crush Tester performs a series of tests to determine the rigidity and crush resistance of corrugated material. It is used in conjunction with the Concora Liner Tester. The first test measures the flat crushing resistance of a laboratory-fluted corrugated material. The second test determines the edgewise strength, parallel to the flutes, of a short column of single-, double-, or triple-wall corrugated board. The third test evaluates the ability of corrugated material to contribute to the compression strength of a corrugated box by measuring the edgewise compression strength of a laboratory-fluted strip of corrugated material in a direction parallel to the fluted tips. Corrugated Board - Flat Crush Strength : The flat crush test is a measure of the resistance of the flutes in corrugated board to a crushing force applied to the surface of the board under prescribed conditions. Flat crush is a measure of the flute rigidity of corrugated board. A high flat crush value indicates a combination of good flute formation and at least adequate strength medium. Low flat crush may indicate a number of conditions including low strength medium, leaning flutes and crushed flutes.

What do you use high carbon steel for?

some items are : cutlery, pens, file cabinets etc...

just think about everyday things :)

Where would high carbon steel be on a car?

Most auto bodies are made of sheet metal (steel) and aluminum in varying mixes. More and more parts are being made of carbon fiber (for it's low weight) although the expense of carbon fiber has, to date, kept the production to a minimum. Some vehicles such as the Corvette are made of fiberglass.

I think they are used for crash saftey.

In modern cars and other vehicles, the frame is a highly engineered crash-absorption component that can help to protect you and your family in a collision by dispersing impact forces more predictably. Every year, hundreds of thousands of used vehicles with hidden frame damage to that very component are bought and sold, usually for one of two reasons:
1. Typical visual frame inspection procedures for new or pre owned vehicles used by even the most reputable car dealers can actually fail to detect hidden auto frame damage from a common collision.

2. Unscrupulous individuals are "passing off" a salvaged car that has been totalled and refurbished, but not repaired correctly or to vehicle safety specifications.

How Frames React In Collisions
Safety engineering has made incredible leaps in the past few decades of automotive design. Frame structure and manufacturing has played a significant role in many of these automotive advances.

Just as the highly technical design of an Indy race car keeps its driver alive in an otherwise horrendous crash, the design and integrity of a frame dictates how a passenger car or truck "behaves" in a collision. Crumple zones are precisely engineered to absorb impact and protect you and your family. Air bag deployment is also affected by frame design.

For every vehicle, the manufacturer has developed the ideal behavior characteristics of the frame seen in automobile crash tests. Auto frame damage can compromise your vehicle safety even in a minor rear-end collision by changing your car's alignment, crumple zones or air bag deployment.
Impact Damage When your car is in a collision, its frame can become damaged in two ways. First, the accident can result in direct damage to the frame, which appears at the location of impact. For instance, as you might expect in a rear-end collision, the rearmost sections of your vehicle frame may be damaged.

What is chemical etching in PCB manufacturing process?

The board is printed with the negative (in the sense of a photographic image) of the design that is desired on the finished board, in a material that is impervious to the solvent that will subsequently be applied to the board. When that solvent is applied the parts of the board that have not received the printed image are etched away leaving the desired circuitry.

What is the cost of a piezoelectric crystal?

The vast majority of devices that use piezoelectric crystals (piezoelectric buzzers, fish finders, atomic force microscopes, etc.) use crystals of lead zirconate titanate (PZT).

The crystal oscillator in a computer or digital clock uses the piezoelectric effect, but it is usually made of pure quartz (silicon dioxide).

Many different crystals and other materials exhibit the piezoelectric effect, including quartz crystals, cane sugar, and bone.

Will reducing carbon in steel increase malleability?

Yes. Carbon is added to iron in steel to make the steel stronger by making it more rigid. The more rigid a metal is, the less malleable it is.

What is mill scale?

Mill scale is formed on the outer surfaces of plates, sheets or profiles when they are being produced by rolling red hot iron or steel billets in rolling or steel mills. Mill scale is composed of iron oxides mostly ferric and is bluish black in color. It is usually less than a millimetre thick and initially adheres to the steel surface and protects it from atmospheric corrosion provided no break occurs in this coating. Because it is electro-chemically cathodic to steel, any break in the mill scale coating will cause accelerated corrosion of steel exposed at the break. Mill scale is thus a boon for a while until its coating breaks due to handling of the steel product or due to any other mechanical cause. It is a nuisance when the steel is to be processed. Any paint applied over it is wasted since it will come off with the scale as moisture laden air get under it. Thus mill scale has to be removed from steel surfaces by flame heating, acid pickling or grit/sand blasting. All tedious operations wasteful of energy. This is why shipbuilders used to leave steel delivered freshly rolled from mills out in the open to allow it to 'weather' till most of the scale fell off due to atmospheric action. Now a days most steels mills can supply their produce with mill scale removed and steel coated with shop primers over which welding can be done safely.

What is the different between steel joist and steel girder?

A girder is the primary horizontal member carying loads from other beams and slabs connected to it. That is a girder has other beams connecting to it on its sides .Typically beams do not have other beams connecting to it but generally have only slabs transferring the loads to it.

The case is similar to beam and joist combination where the closely spaced joists (floor joist and ceiling joist) transfer the loads to the beam but usually from the top rather than from the sides.

When was Carbon steel invented?

About 1300-1200 BC, There is some indication of rare occurrences of iron before that, but it was so scarce as to be considered a precious metal. That time period marked the end of the Bronze Age, and the start of the Iron Age.

Why are tolerances specified on machined components?

Because in any real-world process, there is always uncertainty, and if you measure with enough precision you will always find variation in dimensions. Tolerances are specified so the machinist knows what is 'tolerable' and what is not acceptable. Assuming you are working in inches... A drawing dimension might be 1.50 +/- .03 . That would usually be a pretty easy tolerance to hit on a machined part. The machinist knows he doesn't need to be obsessive about this operation, and it will fit into where it is going as long as it is between 1.47 and 1.53 . He can measure it with a scale. Now, if it is 1.5000 +/.0001, it is much more difficult. The machinist needs to be very carefull here. He's going to need a good setup on good machinery, and something very precise to check the part with, in order to make a part that works. It is crucial that engineers and designers think about the tolerances they put on part drawings, because overly tight tolerances cost money, and overly loose tolerances might result in assemblies that don't work. Most of the time, the machinist does not know the context the part will be used in, so he/she shouldn't be left to make those decisions himself. When making parts on NC equipment right off CAD models, it is necessary to provide tolerance guidance to the machine shop to make sure the final part meets the need. Critical dimensions need to be identified at a minimum.

What is the difference between an assembly line and a manufacture?

In an assembly line, the product moves, so at one station, a worker adds the same part to every item. This is assembly line manufacturing (as pioneered by Henry Ford). This scheme affords a company the option of manufacturing many similar items efficiently.

An example of pure manufacture is the construction of an airplane, where different sections of the airplane are brought to a single spot and added to the ship. A worker may weld or fit in all the variable parts in several sections. This scheme affords a company the option of manufacturing a single item efficiently, especially one with multiple thousands of parts.
