Q

3 aspects of consideration in functionality for materials and components

A

strength - how body responds to stress loadings that may be experienced in the product
Movement - elasticity. flexibility, and other types of movement
electric and thermal conductivity - some products need this for their function

Q

speed and cost consideration

A

triangle between availability/speed, quality, cost
high speed and quality = high cost
quick, but cheap = low quality
high quality, low cost = low priority so high availability

Q

tolerance

A

maximum amount of error that a component allows. measured with +-
higher tolerance equals product had to be made more precisey and slower so hi9gher costs

Q

tolerance of electric components

A

resistor - Ohmage shown by first 3 bands, fourth band shows tolerance
silver 10% tolerance gold 5% tolerance
ca[acitor - intake charge slowly and release all quickly, can have tolerance of up to 20%

Q

allowances

A

extra length of material that is attached beyond the final surface so that it can be neatly cut, planed or sanded later for a perfect fit

Q

preventing waste when marking materials

A

start cutting from the most effective edge to leave most usable material
use a larger sheet when cutting different smaller shapes to leave less waste

Q

tesellation and nesting

A

tessellation - interlocks shapes on material so there is no gaps in between the leftover material and therefore waste material is reduced
nesting - when irregular shapes are fit as closely together as possible for same reasons

Q

units for measurement and material requirements

A

mm or metres is typically used to avoid confusion between Cm and SI unites
gathering materials of correct area involves knowing what needs to be made, in what size and tolerances and grain

Q

Datum point and benefit

A

a permanent, fixed point of reference used to measure sides of a shape. with this greater accuracy is achieved as all measurements are made from a comm point

Q

grain matching

A

matching the direction of pattern on materials for aesthetic purposes(like sewing clothes) or for strength(corrugated cardboard)

Q

Templates, Jigs and patterns

A

tools that ensure there is repetitive accuracy when cutting or marking out a shape so that material is cut identicallv.
often used in batch production (automatic production will have machines)

Q

health and safety measures

A

tools are oiled, lubricated visually checked and tested under low load cleaning spillages or marking spillages wearing PPE

16
Q

data sheet

A

set of instructions and guidance on using specialist tools to prevent accidents or to keep safe from hazardous materials

17
Q

risk assessment

A

full look at the potential risks of a procedure or process what are the risk factors, who are at risk, evaluation of likelihood and severity, implement control measures to stop risks from happening, review risk assessment

18
Q

outsourcing

A

commissioning a professional to do specialist work who may be more accurate and less prone to accident

19
Q

how does surface treatment and finishes help functionality

A

providing protection from weather, water, insect providing insulation
increases toughness and resistance to knocks bumps scratches ensures hygiene by adding antibacterial or dirt properties, or make it easier to clean

20
Q

how can surface treatments improve aesthetic

A

applying a sheen - gloss, matte finish colouring by printing dyeing staining embellishing with decals and surface decorations

21
Q

issues that surface finishes can fix

A

UV degradation - breaks down colour pigment in textiles and weakens them
biological attack - wood, paper can be attacked by termites, mice, hornets
rot - wood that gets damp is proline to fungal attack which weakens wood
oxidisation and corrosion - iron can rust and become weak, aluminium has its aesthetic change

22
Q

preparation for surface treatments

A

dust, dirt,grease free, smooth

23
Q

providing a key

A

some surfaces need to be rough/scratched for finishes to be able to be applied on them

24
Q

methods of application of surface treatments

A

spraying, painting
pressure bonding and heat
electroplating
adhesive
printing, laminating
