Simple Guidelines for Choosing a Metal Parts Cleaning Method
Looking to choose a cleaning method for your metal parts? Consider these guidelines. According to Machine Design: "Today, most metal fabricators and machine shops have two parts-cleaning options: aqueous water-based cleaning or solvent-based cleaning inside a vapor degreaser. Both methods can provide quality cleaning results. However, each has its distinct drawbacks and advantages. "Aqueous or water cleaning is a process that uses water and chemical additives to get parts clean. The water is treated with detergents or surfactants, builders, emulsifiers, saponifers, sequestering agents, chelating agents and a variety of other compounds to boost the cleaning performance. Using a three-step process, ...
Role of Lubrication during the Process of Metal Working
Lubrication is vital when it comes to metal working. Consider this. According to ISPATGuru.com: Role of Lubrication during the Process of Metal Working "For understanding the role of lubrication during the processes of metal working, it is important to know the tribology of the lubrication. Tribology consists of boundary friction, which is associated with almost all operations of the metal working. It is caused by the relative movement of two adjacent surfaces under pressure. During the metal working processes, the relative movement between rolls and work piece is improved by the surface speed differential of the rolls Friction "Friction plays ...
Tech 101 – Identifying and replacing automotive hardware
Knowing the exact parts you need can be of vital importance. Here are some tips on identifying and replacing hardware. According to Jim O'Clair with Hemmings.com: "When repairing or replacing any component on your car, the possibility exists that one or more of the original bolts, washers or nuts will be lost, stripped or broken during the process. It is probably one of Murphy's Laws, but it is usually that last piece need to complete the installation is the one that gives you the most trouble. We all have coffee cans or mayonnaise jars full of miscellaneous hardware in the ...
What’s the Difference Between Types of Wear?
Wear can lead to damage to your machinery that you will have to fix later on. Consider these key factors in reducing wear. According to Jeff Kerns with Machine Design: "Engineers who build components to last are naturally concerned with wear. There are different types of wear, and some engineers may induce wear purposely for varying reasons. Three types of wear are abrasion, adhesion, and corrosion. Each type has inherent problems and benefits that can be affected by materials, lubrication, and surface finish. Abrasive "There are two common types: two-body and three-body abrasion. Two-body abrasion refers to surfaces that slide ...
Coatings and Platings for Protecting Steel Wire
Protecting your steel wire is vital. Here are some tips on coatings and platings. According to Stephen Mraz with Machine Design: "One of the most commonly used forms of steel is wire. It is found in everything from springs, conveyor belts, and bicycles to shopping carts, lobster traps, and chain-link fences. But all those steel-wire products would have short lives if they weren’t protected against the elements. In fact, it’s the surface coatings and platings, which are both functional and decorative, that make steel wire so useful. "One of the main purposes of those coatings and platings is to prevent ...
