can be done without damaging the material

33
Q

ways that you can join metals

A

-welding

34
Q

what are the steps of vacume forming and what its used for

these are key point that your should know
-hard strong surface
-slope or strait lines
mold has to be higher melting point than plastic

A

vacuum forming is to for food trays shop fitting and bath

put the mold in the mashine
put the plastic over the mashine
make the mold tight
heat the plastic
raise the mold
suck the air out
wait till cool
remove the mold

35
Q

what are the steps of blow molding

A

-parson inserted to the mold and then heated
-base of parson squashed by mold
-air blown into a parson expands to fill the mold
-finish product

36
Q

what is press molding

A

-a mold is made by 2 halves sheet of plastics plastic is placed in 2 halves which are then heated and pressure is applied enabling the plastic to assume the shape

37
Q

what is laminating

A

wood is bent by laminating this is done by cutting thin strips of wood putting glue on strips and clamping then into mold
-steam is used

38
Q

what is strength

A

The ability of a material to stand up to the force being applied without it bending breaking shattering or deformed in anyway

39
Q

what is hardness

A

the ability of a material to resist scratching from wear and tear bending and indenting

40
Q

what is brittleness

A

brittle materials cannot withstand much stretching they will break rather than change shape.

41
Q

what is toughness

A

this is the opposite of brittle it is the ability to resist breaking or shattering

42
Q

what is durability

A

the ability to withstand repeated use,weathering and corrosion attach

43
Q

what is ductility

A

the ability of a material to change shape (usually) stretching

44
Q

how to bend plastic

A

-mark bend with non permanent and a dashed line
-line the bend line up with the wire of the line bender/strip heater
-wait until plastic is soft
-bend to desired angle
-hold until cool

45
Q

how to bend metal

A

-mark bend line with a scriber and a dashed line
-line up the bend with the folding bars on top of a vice
-use scrap wood and a hammer to bend the metal to desire angle
