  2. Turning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning

    Turning is a machining process in which a cutting tool, typically a non-rotary tool bit, describes a helix toolpath by moving more or less linearly while the workpiece rotates. Usually the term "turning" is reserved for the generation of external surfaces by this cutting action, whereas this same essential cutting action when applied to ...

    The perlée pattern on the metal panels is one type of engine turning. Engine turning is a form of ornamental turning. The finishing technique may use lathes or engines to produce a pattern. Aluminium is often the metal chosen to decorate. The technique has been used in various industries, including aircraft and document verification.

  7. Continuous casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_casting

    However, too much alumina in the steel will clog the casting nozzles and cause the steel to 'choke off'. Computational fluid dynamics and other fluid flow techniques are being used extensively in the design of new continuous casting operations, especially in the tundish, to ensure that inclusions and turbulence are removed from the hot metal ...
