Industrial manufacturing

material yield

Manufacturing; Industrial manufacturing

The percentage of material used that yields finished parts. In one molding cycle, this describes the percentage of the shot that fills the part cavities.

neutral axis

Manufacturing; Industrial manufacturing

In bending, the neutral axis describes the location in the material that is neither stretched nor compressed, and therefore remains at a constant length.

reconditioning cost

Manufacturing; Industrial manufacturing

The cost of reconditioning scrap material to the proper chemical composition before it is reused, measured as a percentage of the original material cost.

material removal rate

Manufacturing; Industrial manufacturing

The rate at which material is cut away from the workpiece during a machining operation, measured as a volume per unit time, typically cubic inches per minute.

dielectric strength

Manufacturing; Industrial manufacturing

The maximum voltage an insulating material can withstand before breakdown occurs. Imperial units are in volts per Mil and Metric units are in kilovolts per mm.

pattern

Manufacturing; Industrial manufacturing

A pattern is a replica of the desired part, used as tooling in many expendable mold processes. The pattern is used to form the shape of the cavity in the mold.

sprue

Manufacturing; Industrial manufacturing

The main channel through which molten material enters a mold. The sprue often connects to a series of runners that deliver the material into the mold cavities.
