Aluminum spinning is the forming of metal by rotating the work piece at high speeds and using a wheel to apply pressure thus changing shape. more..
Composite Wrapping or Filament winding is a fabrication technique for creating composite material structures. The process involves winding filaments under varying amounts of tension over a male mould or mandrel. more..
Drawing is a metalworking process which uses tensile forces to stretch metal. For wire, bar, and, tube drawing the starting stock is drawn through a die to reduce its diameter and increase its length. more..
Metallic materials consist of a microstructure of small crystals called "grains" or crystallites. The nature of the grains (i.e. grain size and composition) is one of the most important factors in determining the overall mechanical behavior of the metal. more..
Conventional machining, one of the most important material removal methods, is a collection of material-working processes in which power-driven machine tools, such as lathes, milling machines, and drill presses are used with a sharp cutting tool to mechanically cut the material and achieve the desired geometry. more..
