Plating and surface coating processes are used throughout manufacturing to provide protection, durability and decoration to parts. This program explains and highlights the use of electroplating, electroless plating, conversion coating, hot dipping, and porcelain enameling.
Poka-Yoke: Mistake Proofing measures and evaluates the modern and practical methods behind mistake proofing or poka-yoke. You'll visit three companies to see how the use of mistake-proofing techniques and reducing workplace errors can help reduce costs, increase quality, and accelerate customer delivery time.
Powder metallurgy is a metalworking technology used for producing parts from metal powder. Advantages include part design flexibility and the ability to produce net or near-net shaped parts. This Powder Metallurgy program illustrates the metal powder production process, and the part production processes using those powders.
This book is a comprehensive engineering exploration of all the aspects of precision machine design-both component and system design considerations for precision machines. It addresses both theoretical analysis and practical implementation providing many realworld design case studies as well as numerous examples of existing component and their characteristics.
This comprehensive book presents information in a non-machine specific format and establishes a base line reference, using the application of basic mathematics, trigonometry, and geometry to select die widths, establish precise bend deductions, and other aspects of press brake operation.
