Concept explainers
Fishermen are among the most superstitious people in the world, and their superstitions affect the type of equipment they use. As a result, hook manufacturers generally offer their products in a wide range of colors and finishes. Your company manufactures a range of hooks from AISI 1080 carbon steel wire, forming them to precision shape (eye, bends, barbs, and point) and then heat treating them by a quench-and-temper treatment.
Consider the size and shape of the product and the various properties that are required. The hooks must be strong enough to resist bending, but not so brittle that they might break. They must be corrosion resistant to both freshwater and salt water, and the desired appearance must be provided without fouling the point or the barbs. If the surface is applied before heat treatment, it must endure that process and maintain its appearance. If it is applied afterward, it cannot weaken or embrittle the hook.
- Of the various surface-modification processes, which ones might be attractive for such an application? (Note: Make sure that the process is appropriate! For example, barrel plating would probably produce a hopelessly snarled mass of wires!)
- For each of the possible processes, describe the advantages, limitations, possible colors or finishes, and relative cost.

- Stuck need help! Problem is attached. please view attachment before answering. Really struggling with this concept. Please show all work so I can better understand ! Thank you so much.arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions. Please I really need help. Even if you write something easy, I beg you.Explain in your own words how the stress test (performance test) is applied to the patient turning apparatus shown in the figure, and guess how the expected result will be. The main part of the product consists of a polyurethane sponge. Stain-proof upholstery fabric will be used as the outer surface material. In addition, there are heating pads working with the logic of electric blankets in this apparatus, please answer by taking these into account when answering.arrow_forward8. Design Problem: A material is needed to support a hanging sculpture with an overall tensile load of 800 N. It is important that the material not undergo any permanent deformation under this load and must have minimum volume/diameter. Using a circular rod, design structural components using your data for each of the three materials. Which material would you choose for the application and why? If the requirement was minimum weight, rather than minimum volume, which material would you use? Show sample calculations.arrow_forward

Figure 1 The 220mm-long bolt was used to fasten one of the engine mount to a supporting structure. In an effort to prevent the bolt from coming loose, the torque-prevailing nut and split pin were utilized to tighten the bolt. The bolt held through an aluminum housing. Due to the reduced stiffness of the fastened parts, the bolt supported a greater proportion of the applied force. The bolt's size necessitated a high tightening torque of 660 Nm (487 Lbft). Since this level of torque could not be achieved with the tools at the time, this torque was not specified. The aluminum's maximum bearing pressure was far exceeded by the bearing stress under the nut's head and face. As a result, there was excessive preload loss due to creep. fan shaft First of all, the fan shaft was required to be made of cold-drawn 1040 or 1045 steel with a yield strength of 586 MPa and the expected…arrow_forwardA pipe can be manufactured as (a) seamless (cold rolled and extruded) or (b) hot rolled and welded. (i) Describe the process for manufacturing each type of pipe: (a) Seamless (cold rolled and extruded) pipe; (b) Hot rolled and welded pipe. (ii) Why might a cold rolled seamless pipe be better suited to drilling operations than a hot rolled and welded pipe? A particle reinforced composite (containing flakes) has particles evenly distributed throughout the matrix where the rule of mixtures applies.

A Thermally Stable Polycrystalline (TSP) drill bit can be used to drill a subsea well. TSP bits are man-made polycrystalline structures consisting of a multitude of synthetic diamond crystals sintered together at high pressure and temperature, used to aid cutting into hard rock formations.
