  2. Hand scraper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_scraper

    [citation needed] Grinding and machining stresses the metal thermally and mechanically, while scraping and lapping do not. [citation needed] Scraping is the only method for producing an original set of flat surfaces whose accuracy can be transferred through to other surfaces by means of grinding. [citation needed] Lapping and grinding do not ...

  3. Lapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapping

    Lapping machine. Lapping is a machining process in which two surfaces are rubbed together with an abrasive between them, by hand movement or using a machine. Lapping often follows other subtractive processes with more aggressive material removal as a first step, such as milling and/or grinding. Lapping can take two forms.

  4. Engineer's blue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineer's_blue

    Engineer's blue is prepared by mixing Prussian blue with a non-drying oily material (for example, grease).The coloured oil is rubbed onto a reference surface, and the workpiece is then rubbed against the coloured reference; the transfer (by contact) of the pigment indicates the position of high spots on the workpiece or conversely highlight low points.

  5. Flatness (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatness_(manufacturing)

    Up until his introduction of the scraping technique, the same three plate method was employed using polishing techniques, giving less accurate results. This led to an explosion of development of precision instruments using these flat surface generation techniques as a basis for further construction of precise shapes.

  6. Surface plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plate

    In this process, three approximately flat surfaces are progressively refined to precise flatness by manually rubbing them against each other in pairs with colouring matter in between, and then hand-scraping the high points. Any errors of flatness are removed by this scraping, since the only stable, mutually conjugate surface shape is a plane.

  7. List of construction methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Construction_methods

    The list of construction methods covers the processes and techniques used in the construction process. The construction method is essential for civil engineers; utilizing it appropriately can help to achieve the desired results. The term building refers to the creation of physical structures such as buildings, bridges or railways. One of the ...

  8. Honing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honing_(metalworking)

    The path of the stone is not the only difference between grinding and honing machines, they also differ in the stiffness of their construction. Honing machines are much more compliant than grinders. The purpose of grinding is to achieve a tight size tolerance. To do this, the grinding wheel must be moved to an exact position relative to the ...

  9. Wheel tractor-scraper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_tractor-scraper

    The scraper is a large piece of equipment which is used in mining, construction, agriculture and other earthmoving applications. The rear part has a vertically moveable hopper (also known as the bowl) with a sharp horizontal front edge. The hopper can be hydraulically lowered and raised.
