Milling
Materials science; Metallurgy
The use of a rotating multi-point cutting tool to machine flat surfaces, slots, or internal recesses into a workpiece. Milling includes a wide range of versatile metal cutting operations.
Lapping
Materials science; Metallurgy
An abrasive process that removes the last bit of unwanted material. A lapping process sometimes uses an abrasive paste that is rubbed across the part to gradually smooth it.
Sawing
Materials science; Metallurgy
A basic metal cutting process that uses a blade with a series of teeth on its edge to cut a narrow opening in a workpiece. Sawing may be used to produce slots or grooves or to separate the workpiece ...
Grinding
Materials science; Metallurgy
The use of an abrasive to wear away at the surface of a workpiece and change its shape. Grinding operations commonly use abrasive grains bonded into a wheel shape.
Honing
Materials science; Metallurgy
A precision abrasion process in which a relatively small amount of material is removed from a surface by means of abrasive stones. The goal is to obtain a desired finish or extremely accurate ...
Screw Dislocations
Materials science; Metallurgy
Dislocations in which the Burgers vector is perpendicular to the dislocation line. Dislocations in real crystals rarely have a pure edge character. Their Burgers vectors lie at various angles to ...
Surface Defects
Materials science; Metallurgy
Surface defects plastically deform the surface of the material. Surface defects are as follows. cracks , grooves , damages , slags , scabs and corrosion.
