Question 1

If you were to incorporate lettering or numbers on a sand-cast part, would you make them
protrude from the surface or recess them into the surface? What if the part were to be made by
investment casting? Explain your answer.

It is all about the casting process used. In both processes, letters

a r e c o m m o n l y m a c h i n e d , a n d i t i s e a s i e s t t o m a c h i n e recessed l e t t e r s . I n
s a n d c a s t i n g , a p a t t e r n w i l l b e machined; the recessed pattern letters will
produce sand molds of protruding letters. The parts will then have recessed
letters. In investment casting, the old will likely be machined directly; the parts
will then have protruding letters

Sheet Metal Forming Processes:

Sheet metals are widely used for industrial and consumer parts because of its capacity for being
bent and formed into intricate shapes. Sheet metal parts comprise a large fraction of automotive,
agricultural machinery, and aircraft components as well as consumer appliances. Successful sheet
metal forming operation depends on the selection of a material with adequate formability,
appropriate tooling and design of part, the surface condition of the sheet material, proper
lubricants, and the process conditions such as the speed of the forming operation, forces to be
applied, etc. A numbers of sheet metal forming processes such as shearing, bending, stretch forming,
deep drawing, stretch drawing, press forming, hydroforming etc. are available till date. Each process is
used for specific purpose and the requisite shape of the final product.
