explain how annealing is done

A

the material is heated to a specific temperature below the lower critical temperature and then allowed to cool in a controlled manner

57
Q

the material is heated up to just above the upper critical temperature and then allowed to cool in air

58
Q

define stress?

A

stress applied = applied force(N)/ cross sectional area (mm2)

59
Q

define strain?

61
Q

explain the process for sand casting

A
  • place the bottom half of the moulding box over the pattern and pack down with sand
  • turn over and place the top half of the moulding box onto the bottom half
  • position the other half of the pattern and pack down with sand
  • cut holes for the runner and riser
  • open the mould and remove both halfs of the pattern
  • repair any defects and the coat with plumbago
  • position core if required
  • reassemble the drag and cope and pour the molten metal
  • allow to cool, when cold break open the mould and remove the casting
  • fettle as required
62

65
Q

name three type of casting

A

sand casting
die casting
investment casting

66
Q

what are some properties of die casting material?

A

low melting point alloys

67
Q

what is the main difference between sand casting and die casting?

A
  • sand casting uses a one off mould
  • die casting uses a reusable mould
68
Q

explain the process of pressure die casting

A
  • the molten metal at a suitable pressure and temperature is forced into the closed die so that is completely filled
  • the die opens and ejection of the casting. The die is sprayed with graphite spray for longevity of the die and ease of ejection
  • the die closes to prepare for the first stage again
69
Q

name some uses of pressure die casting

A

engine pistions
fuel pump bodies

70
Q

explain the process of investment casting

A
  • build a ceramic mould around a max pattern
  • this mould is then heated to harden it and melt the wax pattern out of it
  • the molten metal is then poured into the mould
  • after cooling the mould is broken to release the casting
71
Q

name some uses of investment casting

A

gas and jet engine blades, cams, nozzles and valves

72
Q

list some advantages of investment casting

A

dimensional accuracy
good surface finish
minimal is any final machining

73
Q

explain hand forging

A
  • the material is hammered into shape after it has been heated to its above critical temperature.
  • this breakers up and refines the grain structure
  • the finer the grain structure becomes the stronger and tougher the material becomes
74
Q

list some advantages of hand forging

A

uses less raw material than machine components from solid stock
is 3 times stronger than machined components

75

  • creates a slag layer to stop it cooling rapidly
  • provides a protective gas to prevent oxidation
82
Q

explain the process of soldering

A
  • unlike welding, there is no fusion process of the parent metal
  • the bond is active by
    -a mechanically and chemically clean joint by a applying flux to remove oxide film when heated
  • the joint is then heated to above freezing range of the solder
  • filler metal is applied to alloy with the parent metal
  • filler metal will fill clearance between components via capillary action
83

cyanoacrylates
anaerobics

define what a screw thread is

A

a screw thread is a helical groove cut around or inside a cyclinder

include these labels:
- major diameter
- minor diameter
- pitch

A
86
Q

hose connection threads of acetylene on welding torch
bottle screw
cable tensioner

87
Q

when dose a component have good quality?

A

a component has good quality when it meet requirements

88
Q

what’s the main goal of a quality assurance system ?

A

the main goal of a quality assurance system is to ensure that the product fulfils or exceeds the expectations of the customer

89
Q

name three things which you’d expect as a costumer buying a product

A
  • predictable, effective and reliable operating life
  • spare parts will be readily available
  • these parts will be interchangeable with the existing equipment
90
Q

what is there international quality standard ?

A

ISO 9000

91
Q

what do you do if a product is nonconforming to requirements?

A
  • identify the product, e.g add a tag or sticker
  • isolate/ quarantine it
  • decide what to do with it :
    1. adjusting
    2. scrapping
    3. reworking
    4. concession
92
Q

give three examples of 2 part assesmelys that are interchangeable

A

small end bearing/gugien pin
piston/ piston rings
connecting rod/ big end bearing

93
Q

what are the benefits of using written instructions?

A
  • the personnel who gives the instructions is sure the correct information is received
  • written instructions can be given clearly, when working in loud environments
  • workers are able to check written instructions if things are forgotten
  • all personnel can refer back to the written instructions if any thing where to go wrong/ any queries
94
Q
