When we hear the word ‘heat treatment’ a lot of things pass through our vision even it sounds easy to understand not everyone is informed enough to know about these. So, let us take a look at this topic. Well, heat treatment process is a series of operations that involves heating and cooling of metals during its solid state. These…
Product labelling is an important aspect of every industry as it is a significant way of identifying products and parts. Product labels are informative tags that are attached to the products or its packaging. The labels have product numbers and other relevant information that can be used to track the package in case of loss or delay. Initially, the labels…
What is an engine? An engine is a machine designed to convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy. There are different types of engines like heat engines, internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, non-combusting heat engines and chemically powered non-thermal engines, to name a few. Most of these engines are complex and heavy which makes them difficult to make.…
What are eddy currents? Eddy currents are loops of current induced in a conductor due to a changing magnetic field. These currents are created due to a phenomenon called electromagnetic induction. The eddy currents flow in closed loops and look similar to the swirling eddies formed in a stream. Eddy currents are responsible for power losses in transformers and can…
A camshaft is commonly used in the engine of a car and determines when and how the engine valves open. The camshaft is a rod with cams mounted on its length that work to change circular motion into side-to-side or up-down motion. There are different types of camshafts such as Single Over Head Camshaft (SOHC), Double Over Head Camshaft (DOHC)…
What is a laser? A laser is a device that generates an intense beam of coherent monochromatic light through the stimulated emission of photons by an excited atom or molecule. The word laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER). The laser has various applications such as holography, barcode reading, surgical procedures, playing or recording…
