Q

Thermoforming polymers ?

A

-They can be reheated and therefore shaped in various ways
-re heating them weakens the bonds so much that they become liable to re-shaping

Q

What are Thermosetting polymers ?

A

Once ‘set’ these plastics cannot be reheated to soften,shape or mould . They have a tridimensional lattice structure making the bonds between them very strong .

Q

What are some Timber manufacturing processes ?

A

Routering : shape , cut or create designs in wood . Different tools for differnet things
Turning : peices of timber are rotated and cutting tools are used to shape it
Laminating : thin strips of wood glued together in a former .
Steam bending : peices of timber can be bent by straming them as it temporarily softens them
Kerfing : adding thin saw cuts into wood you can make it flexible and make curved shapes

Q

What are the plastic manufacturing processes ?

A

Line bending : typically acrylic used , heated to 160oc polymer become pliable jigs are used to keep in place .
Injection moulding : plastic granules into hopper , heated jackets around screw melt polymer then the hydralic ram forces the plastic into the mould . Then the plastic is allowed to cool .
Extrusion : feeds grandules into a heater , they melt and forced through a die making shapes, dried
Vacuum forming : mould placed into former , heated former raised air suction , cool then removed.
Blow moulding : mould opened , hollow tube - parison is heated and put it , mould is shut and air is forced into mould at high pressure forced to mould into sides then cooled

Q

What are the scales of production ?

A

-One off production - expensive , long time to make , made from skilled craftsmakers
- batch production - all are identical , made in small batches , cost 2-10k
-mass production - produces in high volumes 10k+, high demand , cost ranges

Q

What are the wastage metal manufacturing proccesses ?

A
  • turning - same as timber but with metal
  • sawing - you can use a junior hacksaw for polymers , metals and timbers for small jobs but a hacksaw can be removed from the frame and replaced when the teeth become blunt
  • milling - milling is similar to routering but due to metals being cut they have more durable cutting tools .
    -drilling - instead of a pillar drill or a slot drill (milling) high speed steel twist drill does this with a bit more accuracy and speed .
  • cutting and sheering - cutting and slicing action . Cutting - some saws cut thicker planks

Q

What are the addition proccesses of metal ?

A

Welding - usually metals , melting work peices and adding a filler material to form a pool of malten material when dried strengthens the material .
Brazing - metal joining process where a filler metal is heated and applied between two or more fitting parts close .
Soldering - where 2 or more metal parts are put together by melting and flowing soilder into a joint . The soilder must have a lower boiling point then adjoining metal .
