Thermoplastics Thermosetting Acrylic (Perspex) lens, dentures Phenolic Resin - ashtrays Polystyrene CD cases, burger boxes Urea Formaldehyde white plugs PVC guttering, window & door frames Melamine Formaldehyde - worktops Polyethylene bottles, pipes, bags Nylon tooth brush bristles, fishing line Ferrous and non ferrous metals / examples of each. Ferrous metals contain iron, are magnetic and will rust (iron, steel) Non ferrous metals dont contain iron, are not magnetic and will not rust (aluminium, brass, bronze, lead, tin, copper). Alloys a mixture of two or more metals / give examples (solder, brass, bronze) Properties of materials ductility / hardness / tensile strength / toughness / malleability / elasticity etc. Identify electronic parts and symbols switch / LED / resistor / variable resistor / bulb / battery / transistor / light dependent resistor / diode etc.

Section B (Questions about Project) Draw circuit symbols / explain how it operates. How certain parts were manufactured (marking out, drilling, cutting materials, filing, polishing etc). How part was manufactured on the lathe (parallel turning, facing off, knurling). Function of one of the parts in real life situation. The design feature / sketch.

Q2

Design Process 8 steps - Design Brief Problem Analysis Investigation Alternative Solutions Final Solution Manufacturing Evaluation Conclusion. Given a design make improvements / draw a sketch. Suitable finish painting / galvising / plastic coating.

Q3

Machining (Drilling and Turning) Parts of drill bit / parts of lathe / parts of column drill / what is swarf? / safety when machining goggles, no loose clothes, one person at the machine, always get permission. Facing / parallel turning / taper turning / knurling / sliding / surfacing / parting off / drilling / lathe centre / centre drill (describe & draw diagram). Clearance / rake angle / headstock / tailstock / bed of lathe / toolpost / chuck. Calculate speed N = S x 1000 xD Drill gauge / morse taper sleeve / drill drift / reamer / centre drill /blind hole / tapping size hole /clearance hole /counterboring / countersinking / pilot hole / taper tap / plug tap / stocks & dies / vernier callipers / micrometer / depth gauge / screw pitch gauge / feeler gauge. Production of Metals Furnaces Name Furnace / list charge / slag / how furnace is emptied / what material is produced / how is furnace heated. Blast Furnace charge = coke, iron ore & limestone. Hot air blown through tuyeres. Limestone combines with impurities to form slag, which sits on top of molten iron. Slag is tapped off from time to time. Produces pig iron. Basic Oxygen Furnace charge = molten iron (from blast furnace) lime & scrap steel. Water cooled lance blows oxygen into furnace. Furnace is rotated at various positions the molten steel and the slag. Produces steel. Electric Arc Furnace charge = scrap metal, lime, mill scale or iron ore. Furnace is heated by electric arcs produced between carbon electrodes and the charge. Produces steel. Alloys - brass = copper + zinc / bronze = copper + zinc / solder = lead + tin / high speed = carbon + steel. Properties of materials. Mechanisms Choice of materials / advantages of materials. Forces compression, tension, bending, shear and torsion. Motion linear, rotary, reciprocating and oscillating. Gear train /gear ratios / bevel gears / worm & wormwheel / rack & pinion / gear train / idler gear / driver & driven gear. Screw threads / linkages / levers / ratchet & pawl / chain / pulleys / chain & sprocket. Motion - linear, reciprocating, oscillating, rotary. Soldering Copper bit conducts heat / solder = lead + tin. Safety when soldering. Passive and active flux / function of flux remove oxides. Heat treatment hardening, tempering, annealing, case hardening. Beaten Metalwork - hollowing, sinking, planishing, bending, twisting. Decorative Metalwork mottling, hammering, punching, repousse, engraving, polishing, enamelling, etching, painting, lacquering, plastic coating. CNC Computer Numerical Control Parts of a computer / computer terms ROM, RAM, computer virus, scanner. Advantages of CNC / G & M codes / canned cycles / test run / program / define a profile / menu / safety / jog keys / X and Y co-ordinates / parts of CNC lathe. Advantages of CAD. Absolute and incremental dimensioning. 2
