Metal
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A small repeatable oscillating movement Example: the weed eater has a distinct vibration | Vibration |
| A thin strip of metal/wood sometimes wedge-shaped Example: Please shim up the work to make it level | Shim |
| Precision ground tool used to prop work parts up out of the vise to prevent the vise from being machined Example: Put the parallels under your work so the drill does not drill the parallels | Parallels |
| Projections of a signle view of an object in which the view is projected along lines perpendicular to both the view and the drawing surface Example: Top, Front, and Right Side view. | Orthographic Projection |
| Programmable Logic Controller Example: the saw has a PLC on it that allows it to be programmed to cut at different lengths. Microwave, Ipod, all have PLCs | PLC |
| The capacity for vigorous activity, available power | Energy |
| Pertaining to forces in or motions of fluids Examples: Hydraulics use fluids to move heavy objects | Hydrodynamic |
| Rapidity in moving, going, ECT: swiftness Example: the drill is moving at a speed of 350 revolutions per minute | Speed |
| A certification that allows a manufacturer to sell their products worldwide. | ISO 9000 |
| A hollow form or matrix that gives a shape to something; to produce by shaping material Example: the plastic toy that is sold at fast food places | Mold |
| A cut made by a saw Example: the band saw blade removes material, that removed material is called a kerf | Kerf |
| technique or science of making a compounding alloys Examples: the metallurgist mixed various metals to form the alloy mix he needed | Metallurgy |
| an external layer of metal plates Example: many hot rodders send custom partsto the platers to have them chrome plated | Plating |
| A rapid cooling of metal Example: metal is quenced after it has been welded to cool the metal. | Quench |
