Manufacturer Flashcards
What is the primary purpose of fabrication in manufacturing?
To create structures or components from raw materials.
True or False: Welding is a process that joins materials, usually metals, by melting them together.
True
Fill in the blank: Powder coating is a finishing process that uses _____ to create a protective layer on a surface.
powdered paint
What is machining?
A manufacturing process that involves removing material from a workpiece to shape it into a desired form.
Which of the following is NOT a common welding technique? (A) MIG (B) TIG (C) CAD (D) Stick
C
What is the main advantage of powder coating over traditional liquid painting?
Better durability and resistance to chipping, scratching, and fading.
What does the term ‘assembly’ refer to in manufacturing?
The process of putting together various components to create a finished product.
True or False: Machining can only be performed on metals.
False
What is the main function of a CNC machine?
To automate the machining process using computer programming.
Fill in the blank: _____ welding is often used for thin materials and requires a shielding gas.
TIG
What is a common application of fabrication?
Creating metal frames for buildings or machinery.
Which manufacturing service involves applying a dry powder to a surface before curing it?
Powder coating
What type of welding uses an electric arc between an electrode and the workpiece?
Arc welding
True or False: Assembly is the last step in the manufacturing process.
True
What is the purpose of machining in the manufacturing process?
To achieve precise dimensions and surface finishes.
Fill in the blank: Welding can be performed using _____ energy sources, such as electricity or gas.
various
What is the difference between MIG and TIG welding?
MIG uses a wire feed while TIG uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode.
Which manufacturing service is primarily concerned with finishing surfaces?
Powder coating
What safety equipment is essential during welding?
Welding helmet and protective clothing.
What role does assembly play in the production of complex machinery?
It combines individual parts into a functional unit.
True or False: Fabrication can include processes like cutting, bending, and assembling.
True
What type of materials can be powder coated?
Metals, plastics, and wood.
Fill in the blank: The _____ process involves shaping materials using tools that remove material.
machining
What is one disadvantage of welding?
It can create thermal stress and distort materials.
