In the previous article, we have discussed what are the different manufacturing processes. The manufacturing process turns the raw material into finished products. There are different manufacturing process which uses different technologies and machinery to get the final products from the raw material. In this article, we discussed the different casting processes. Casting Processes Casting […]

Crane Hook Design Problem sample
Crane Hook Design Problem: The crane hook carries a load of 20 kN as shown in given below Fig. The section at X-X is rectangular whose horizontal side is 100 mm. Find the stresses in the inner and outer fibres, the given section. Solution: Given data (All are in Metric Units) Load (W) = 20kN […]
What are the different commonly used cross-section properties ?
When we say common Cross-section properties, what we will think of? First of all Sectional area, Section modulus, the moment of inertia, and few other. The different cross-section properties for the different cross-sections such as circular, square, rectangular and trapezoidal and triangular are discussed briefly in this article. First of all, we have to understand […]
What are the different Non-Metallic Materials?
In material science, materials are classified into four groups Metals, Non-metals, Ceramics, Composites. In this article, we are going to discuss Non-Metallic Materials. The Non-Metallic materials are used in engineering due to their less density and flexibility, resistance to electricity, heat and most importantly it is available at low costs. Non-Metallic Materials Before going into the topic it […]
What are the different Non-Ferrous Metals?
The metal which is consisting of the main constituent other than the iron is known as Non-ferrous metals. For example aluminium, copper, lead, nickel, tin, titanium and zinc. We have discussed the characteristics of the different Non-ferrous metals and the purpose and use of the non-ferrous metal in different applications in this article. Non-Ferrous Metals Having lightweight, high conductivity, corrosion resistance […]
What are the different Case Hardening processes?
Case Hardening is also known as Surface Hardening. Sometimes also are known as the Face Hardening. The process of hardening the surface of the components is known as the Case Hardening. There are different types of Case hardening processes available. We have discussed each of them here! Case Hardening / Surface Hardening The process of Hardening […]
What are the different Heat Treatment processes?
In material science, the Heat treatment processes used to impart the physical properties by altering the microstructure. We have discussed the purpose of the heat treatment and the different heat treatment processes briefly. Heat Treatment Heat Treatment includes the heating and cooling of the metal to obtain the desired mechanical properties without changing the chemical […]
Stainless Steel – Types, Properties Applications, Grades
We all know Stainless steel is notable for its corrosion resistance property. Stainless steel is an alloy of iron and chromium which will significantly improve the corrosion resistance property. Along with the chromium, there are few other alloy elements to make the stainless steel more strengthen and harden and tough and increase the few other […]
What are the different Carbon Steels and their Properties?
Steel is the alloy of iron and carbon. Steel consists of carbon content up to a maximum of 1.5%(Somewhere it will be mentioned as up to 2%). The other elements of steel are silicon, phosphorous, manganese, copper etc. will be having the more or fewer compositions to attain the desired properties. In this following article, we are going […]
What are the different Alloy Steels?
Steel is the alloy of iron and carbon. Other than these two elements we can add few other elements in order to get desired mechanical properties. those are known as the alloys of steel. These will be having the more or fewer compositions. The Alloy elements are silicon, chromium, manganese, copper etc. Purpose of Adding Alloying elements […]
