SSW Advantages over Fusion
Welding Processes
If no melting, then no heat affected zone, so metal
around joint, in some cases, retains original
properties
Many SSW processes produce welded joints that
bond the entire contact interface between two
parts rather than at distinct spots or seams
Some SSW processes can be used to bond
dissimilar metals, without concerns about relative
melting points, thermal expansions, and other
problems that arise in Fusion Welding

What is the minimum clearance if George's penis had a diameter of 20: 18 - 22 mm and the poor girls
hole is 23: 22 - 24? What type of fit is this?
Allowance: 1 mm
| Clearance fit. Praise the lord. It's a good thing this George has a small penis
167
why are Lubricants needed for Hot Forging/sex
Lubricant is required to stop sticking, should be
| sliding motion.
168
Applications of forging
Crankshafts for engines
Connecting rods for engines
Aircraft structural parts
Spanners
169
What is the difference between forward and backward extrusion
Direct (Forward) Extrusion - Starting billet round; final shape determined by the die (like toothpaste)
Indirect (Backward/Reverse) Extrusion, you basically ram it in
170
Forge hammer
applies impact load. Hammer is lifted then dropped
171
Upset forging (heading)
Open die - between two dies
| Used to form heads on screw, bolts, etc
172
Impression-die Forming
The die has a cavity. The metal is constrained but a
flash is formed.
Flash cools quicker
173
Flash is removed by
Trimming
grinding
sawing
174
What does ANSI (ASME) stand for
American National Standards Institute
175
GD&T
Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.
176
Maximum material condition MMC explain for shaft and hole
The MMC is the size of the part when it consists of the most material. For a shaft the is the largest diameter. For a hole this is the smallest diameter
177
Clearance fit
There is always space: Min clearance > 0
178
Interference fit
There is never a space: Min Clearance =
179
Transition fit
Could be clearance or interference.
Max clearance > 0
Min clearance
180
Define the type of fit that a mattress wank creates
Interference
181
What is the minimum clearance if George's penis had a diameter of 20: 18 - 22 mm and the poor girls
hole is 23: 22 - 24? What type of fit is this?
Allowance: 1 mm
| Clearance fit. Praise the lord. It's a good thing this George has a small penis
182
What is the definition of Extrusion
Compression forming process in which the work
metal is forced to flow through a die opening to produce a
desired cross-sectional shape
Like squeezing toothpaste
183
What is the difference between forward and backward extrusion
Direct (Forward) Extrusion - Starting billet round; final shape determined by the die (like toothpaste)
Indirect (Backward/Reverse) Extrusion, you basically ram it in
184
Importance of machining
Variety of work materials can be machined
Most frequently used to cut metals
Rapid material removal
Variety of part shapes and special geometric
features possible, such as:
Screw threads
Accurate round holes
Very straight edges and surfaces
Good? dimensional accuracy and surface finish
185
Disadvantages of machining
Wasteful of material
-Chips generated in machining are wasted material
Time consuming
-A machining operation sometimes takes more time
to shape a given part than alternative shaping
processes, such as casting, powder metallurgy, or
forming
186
Types of machining chips
1. Discontinuous chip
2. Continuous chip
3. Continuous chip with Built-up Edge (BUE)
4. Serrated chip
187
Do Extrusions leave the die straight?
no (rarely) to do this you should Stretch or Roll piece
188
What are 3 Defects in Extruded Products
Centre burst (chevron cracking)
· internal crack develops from tensile stresses along
centreline
b)Piping (fishtailing)
· sink hole that develops during direct extrusion
c)Surface cracking
· caused by high work part surface temperatures and
high extrusion speeds
189
What is the Wire and Bar Drawing definition
Cross-section of a bar, rod, or wire is
reduced by pulling it through a die opening
ó Tension and compression stress applied to
squeeze metal
