DEFORMING AND REFORMING Flashcards
(11 cards)
steam bending
hardwoods
The wood is heated in the steam chamber to become more pliable and formed in specific shapes
Lamination
Hardwoods
Thin layers of wood are glued together and pressed into a former to form a specific shape
press forming
All materials(must be in sheets)
A sheet is pressed between a saddle and a yolk until they harden and this shaped them
Vacuum Forming
thermoforming plastics
A plastic sheet is heated and then placed over a mould where the air is sucked out and the pressure forced the plastic into the shape.
blow moulding
thermoforming plastics
A plastic tube is heated and placed in mould where air is blow into it and presses the plastic against the mould shaping it.
injection moulding
thermoforming plastics
plastic beads are heated to plastic form and injected into a mould to form shapes
extrusion
metals and thermoforming plastics
The material is heated to its plastic shape and pushed through a die to form components
sand casting
Metals
The metal is melted and poured into a mould made of sand
die casting
Non ferrous metals
The metal is melted and poured into a mould made of hardened steel
work hardining
Working a non ferrous metal to the point it hardens by hitting and bending it
annealing
once a meta has been work hardened you can heat it to a specific temperature and cool it down to soften it again
