  2. Surface finishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finishing

    A #4 architectural finish is characterized by fine polishing grit lines that are uniform and directional in appearance. It is produced by polishing the metal with a 120–180 grit belt or wheel finish and then softened with an 80–120 grit greaseless compound or a medium non woven abrasive belt or pad. #4 Dairy or sanitary finish

  3. Injection moulding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injection_moulding

    The power required for this process of injection moulding depends on many things and varies between materials used. Manufacturing Processes Reference Guide states that the power requirements depend on "a material's specific gravity, melting point, thermal conductivity, part size, and molding rate." Below is a table from page 243 of the same ...

  4. Papermaking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papermaking

    Handmade paper is also prepared in laboratories to study papermaking and in paper mills to check the quality of the production process. The "handsheets" made according to TAPPI Standard T 205 [ 20 ] are circular sheets 15.9 cm (6.25 in) in diameter and are tested for paper characteristics such as brightness, strength and degree of sizing . [ 21 ]

  5. Casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casting

    Casting is a manufacturing process in which a liquid material is usually poured into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The solidified part is also known as a casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mold to complete the process.

  6. Compression molding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_molding

    Compression molding is a method of molding in which the molding material, generally preheated, is first placed in an open, heated mold cavity. The mold is closed with a top force or plug member, pressure is applied to force the material into contact with all mold areas, while heat and pressure are maintained until the molding material has cured; this process is known as compression molding ...

  7. Thermoforming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoforming

    Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mold, and trimmed to create a usable product. The sheet, or "film" when referring to thinner gauges and certain material types, is heated in an oven to a high-enough temperature that permits it to be ...

  8. Pulp and paper industry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_and_paper_industry

    In the manufacturing process, pulp is introduced into a paper machine where it is shaped into a paper web and water is extracted through pressing and drying stages. Pressing involves removing water from the sheet by applying force. This process employs a specialized type of felt, distinct from traditional felt, to absorb the water.

  9. Numerical control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control

    (EDM), also known as spark machining, spark eroding, burning, die sinking, or wire erosion, is a manufacturing process in which the desired shape is obtained using electrical discharges (sparks). Material is removed from the workpiece by a series of rapidly recurring current discharges between two electrodes, separated by a dielectric fluid and ...
