Thermoelectric generation is a technology in which electricity is generated directly from waste heat discharged by automobile engines and factory furnaces, enabling effective utilization of this large ...

Here we discuss three processes that can be used for machining a precise hole in custom aluminium parts - peck drilling, wire electrical discharge machining, and laser cutting. These processes along ...

For effective and robust manufacturing within a plant, a proper process orientation and mindset must be developed and maintained. Three simple steps will help manufacturing staff develop this mindset.

Cross-drilled holes act as conduits for fluids, lubricants and gases. Failing to remove burrs can cause blockage of these critical passages or create turbulence in the flow. In automated machining, ...

In the first step of the V-process, a thin plastic film is heated and placed over a pattern. A vacuum tightly draws the film over the pattern, which is then surrounded by a flask. The flask is then ...

The ability to produce quality products hinges on four key competencies: modeling of process form and precision levels, design tolerancing of parts and products, selecting production processes that ...

The manufacturing process is a complex one that can be impacted by many factors: supplies, equipment, factory overhead, the need for special parts, and the people who work at all points in the process ...

Machining refers to the processes of cutting a piece of raw material into different shapes and sizes to come up with the final product. During the process of manufacture, controlled material addition ...
