A combination of two different metals Example: Gold ring made from aluminum alloy) | Alloy |
Metals other than iron Example: cooper, aluminum, gold | Nonferrous |
Alloy contaiing significant amount of iron or steel Example: I beams are generally made of steel or ferrous metal | Ferrous |
Outer edge of a circle Example: run a lap around the outside of a circle | Circumference |
The distance measured across the circle Example: Across the pizza the distance from crust directly across to the other side of the crust | Diameter |
Half of the distance measured across the circle Example: Semi=truck making a sharp enough turn to make a "U" turn | Radius |
A device that holds work pieces and aligns them with the tool or machine Example: A toaster guides the bread into a machine like a fixture | Fixture |
A force that tends to produce rotation or torsion Example: Please torque down the lug nuts on the car. | Torque |
The rubbing of one surface to another Example: the brakes create friction between the brake pads and the rotors. Friction causes heat. | Friction |
