3. Lugged steel frame construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lugged_steel_frame...

   The lug's curves maximize the strength of the joint, while minimizing the possibility of stress risers, which would otherwise make the frame prone to cracking at the end of the lug. At increased expense, frames may have lugs which are cut and filed by hand into fancy shapes, both for slight weight savings and as a display of craftsmanship.

4. Riser (casting) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riser_(casting)

   A riser is categorized based on three criteria: where it is located, whether it is open to the atmosphere, and how it is filled. If the riser is located on the casting then it is known as a top riser, but if it is located next to the casting it is known as a side riser. Top risers are advantageous because they take up less space in the flask ...

5. Die casting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_casting

   Aluminium: lightweight; high dimensional stability for very complex shapes and thin walls; good corrosion resistance; good mechanical properties; high thermal and electrical conductivity; retains strength at moderately high temperatures. Magnesium: the easiest metal to machine; excellent strength-to-weight ratio; lightest alloy commonly die cast.

6. Framing (construction) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framing_(construction)

   Wall framing in house construction includes the vertical and horizontal members of exterior walls and interior partitions, both of bearing walls and non-bearing walls. . These stick members, referred to as studs, wall plates and lintels (sometimes called headers), serve as a nailing base for all covering material and support the upper floor platforms, which provide the lateral strength along a

7. Lightweighting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweighting

   [7] Using lightweight materials such as plastics, high strength steels and aluminium can mean less strain on the engine and better gas mileage as well as improved handling. [8] One material sometimes used to reduce weight for structures that can accept the cost premium is carbon fiber . [ 9 ]
