Today we will learn about Non-traditional machining processes requirement, types, advantages and disadvantages. Machining is one of the most important process of metal forming and shaping. Mostly, it is used in all manufacturing processes. In the convention machining processes, tool is in direct co

Today I am going to tell you main difference between hot working and cold working. They both are the metal forming processes. When plastic deformation of metal is carried out at temperature above the recrystallization temperature the process, the process is known as hot working. If this deformation

Today I am going to tell you about difference between Forging vs Casting. Casting and forging are both industrial processes of metal forming and shaping. Different process used in different conditions. The main difference between casting and forging is that the metal is compulsory to heat and conve

In this article we will learn about properties of sand which are desirable in moulding process. Before we start this article, we need to understand the basic concept that a moulding is done at a very high temperature.  So the basic is that the moulding material should have high refractoriness. The

In this article we will learn about types of sands used in moulding process. Sand is mostly used nonmetallic material used in moulding. Silica Sand has good refectoriness and porosity which is desirable for mould manufacturing. It has also high strength at high temperature which make it most useful

In this article we will learn about types of casting used in manufacturing industries. Casting is a major manufacturing process which is mostly used in heavy industries. Most of the components like outer casing of turbine, lathe bed, valve casing, hydro turbine blades, Pelton wheel, Francis runner

In this article we will learn about casting defects its causes and remedies. Defects are common phenomenon in any engineering process. There is such limitation of any process, which causes defects. The proper designing and moulding can give a defect free cast but due to some control limitation and

Today we will discuss about difference between orthogonal and oblique cutting. What is Orthogonal Cutting? What is Oblique Cutting? Metal cutting or commonly known as machining, is the most common phenomenon used in manufacturing industries. Every product, big or small, undergoes a machining proces

Today we will discuss about tool wear, is mechanism, types and mainly focus on Flank wear, Crater wear and Nose Wear. Tool wear is common phenomenon is metal cutting. Before discussing about tool wear we should learn about how a tool fails. The cutting tools fail due to following three conditions.

Today we will discuss about what are Jigs and Fixture, working, advantages and also difference between them. Before discussing about it first you should learn the concept of Jigs and Fixtures. We know that machining is the process of removing metal by the moving or stationary work piece by use of t

Today we will learn about welding defects, its types, causes, testing, and remedies. Defects are common phenomenon in any manufacturing process. This is due to some process limitation and some human behavior. It is impossible to form a defect free welding joint but it can be reduce to some extent b

Today I am going to tell you main difference between welding and soldering. Welding and soldering both are metal joining processes but according to their uses, these are different form one another. Basically welding is used to make a joint which can carry all mechanical stresses and loads. It forms

Soldering and brazing both are metal joining process used in different joining conditions. These processes are more confusing to differentiate because both process use filler material and done below critical temperature. Today I am going to tell you difference between soldering and brazing so you c

Today we will discuss about single point cutting tool geometry and how to designate it. A single point cutting tool is widely used in metal cutting industries for forming required shape. It is used on lathe and shaper machining for performing operation like turning, facing, chamfering, boring shapi

Today we will learn about arc welding process and its types. Arc welding is one of the famous type of welding used in industrial work to join metal. It is one type of fusion welding in which metal is melted together to form the joint. The energy required for melt the work piece is taken by electric

Today we will learn about shaper machine parts and its working. It is commonly used to produce flat surface, grooves, slots etc. The work piece is hold by a adjustable tool post in shaper machine.  A single point cutting tool is in reciprocating motion rub the work piece and cut unwanted metal from

When we talk about difference between shaper and planer, one thing strike our mind that both are different name of a same machine but this is not true. Both shaper and planner are used to make flat surfaces, cut slot and grooves and also use to make concave and convex geometry but there are some ke

Today we will learn about milling machine parts and its working. Milling machine is used to machining the metal workpiece by a revolving cutting tool. The milling cutter usually used to cut the metal perpendicular to the tool axis. Milling machine is used to form various types of parts in the indus

Today we will discuss about types of hammers. Hammer is widely used in mechanical industries to drive any thin metal part like nails etc. by an impact force. It is a tool which is used to create a sudden pointed force, which is further used to drive nails, remove unwanted metal parts form work piec

Today we will learn about types of milling machine used in machining of metal work pieces. In my last post we have learn about milling machine and its main parts and we know that milling machine is one of the most versatile machine which can perform any machining operation on unsymmetrical work pie
