Forming, redistribution and addition processes Flashcards
1
Q
Forming processes
A
Involve reshaping materials to desired forms without adding or removing material. This is achieved through the application of forces. The inherent properties of the material are used as an advantage during the process. A metal’s malleability enables it to be shaped extensively.
2
Q
Redistribution processes
A
A material is redistributed or repositioned to create a new form. These processes do not add or remove material
3
Q
Addition processes
A
Processes that build products by adding materials together. It involves various methods of joining materials such as welding, soldering and adhesive bonding.
