What Is Engine Braking? Engine braking is simply the process of slowing down the vehicle speed stepping off the accelerator & shifting the gear to low without applying a footbrake. The vehicle braking system is responsible for reducing speed. Due to repetitive breaking, brake shoes get worn out. So, to have another alternate option for … Read more
What is Davit System? Davit is a structure like a crane for rising, lowering, and supporting equipment for onshore, offshore applications, and building maintenance equipment. The offshore davit system is used in large vessels and ships for lowering the lifeboat in the ocean or any other equipment in the ocean. It is also used to … Read more
What is flash forging? In the forging process, when the upper die applies the pressure on the hot object inside the bottom die, excess metal squirts out of the cavity as a thin rubber slit is called flash and the process is called flashless forging. Flashes are forms in the closed die forging. These flashes … Read more
Metal spinning is a metalworking process used to make axially symmetrical hollow parts by rotating tubes, pipes, or discs with high speed and deforming over a pre-shaped mold by applying force. This process does not remove metal from the part. It uses a lathe machine, CNC, or rotating machine to clamp and rotate the parts. … Read more
What is Laser Cleaning or Blasting? Laser blasting or laser cleaning is the process of sending thousands of nanosecond length pulses of light towards the metal surface to remove rust, oxide, paints, and other contamination particles. It is an eco-friendly and environmentally friendly process. Due to that, it is used for different applications. When laser … Read more
Anodizing is an electrochemical process convert metal component into durable, corrosion-resistant, and decorative by adding an oxide layer. It achieves an oxidized surface finish on metal components to enhance its corrosive and wear resistance properties and make it more durable. Anodic oxide structure originated from aluminum, and it is composed of aluminum oxide. In simple … Read more
What is Hardening? Hardening is a metallurgical metalworking process used to increase the hardness of a metal. The process starts with the heating of metal at a critical transformation temperature and quenches in a molten salt bath/water. Hypoeutectoid steels are heated from 30 to 50-degree c above Upper Critical Temperature (UCT), while hypereutectoid steel heats … Read more
