By : Anthony Pateman Precision casting differs from sand casting and shell moulding in that the moulds they employ consist of only one part, while the pattern itself is expendable each time a casting is made. Precision casting processes offer much more freedom to the designer, and produce castings of a superior surface finish and […]
By : Anthony Pateman High pressure die casting is a reliable, fast and very cost effective manufacturing process which is used for the production of high volume metal components which usually require tight tolerances. The high pressure die casting process consists of injecting molten metal alloy into a steel mould under very high pressures. Pressure […]
By : Anthony Pateman Gravity die casting is a process where the liquid metal is poured into metallic moulds without any external pressure. The liquid metal enters the cavity of the mould under normal gravity. Gravity die casting is different from high pressure die casting. With high pressure die casting the liquid metal is injected […]
By : Anthony Pateman Turning is a process in which a single cutting tool is parallel to the surface. This process can be carried out manually on a traditional lathe, or by using an automated lathe which is controlled by a computer. A computer controlled lathe is referred to a being computer numerically controlled, and […]
By : Anthony Pateman Milling machines are machine tools which are used to machine solid materials. There are two basic types of these machines and they are vertical milling machine and horizontal milling machine. The two different types are referred to horizontal and vertical because of the orientation of the main spindle. Milling machines can […]
