What are some of the reasons why plastic shaping processes are important?

EXPERT ANSWER The reasons include (1) many of the processes are net shape processes. (2) in general, less energy is employed than in metalworking processes. (3) lower temperatures are required to process plastics than metals or ceramics . (4) there is great flexibility in geometry and (5) painting and other finishing processes are generally not …

EXPERT ANSWER 13.3 Viscosity is defined as the ratio of imposed shear stress to the shear rate. Molten polymers are non-Newtonian fluids and hence their viscosity is depended on shear rate. As the shear rate increases, viscosity decreases due to the molecular alignments of long polymer chains. Higher the shear rate, less the viscosity and …

Annealed low-carbon steel has a flow curve with strength coefficient = 75,000 lb/in2 and strain-hardening exponent = 0.25. A tensile test specimen with gage length = 2.0 in is stretched to a length = 3.3 in. Determine the flow stress and average flow stress that the metal experienced during this deformation.

Question 3 10 pts What is the difference between the physical shape of bulk deformation and sheet metalworking manufacturing processes? In bulk deformation, the work parts have a _ area-to-volume ratio, whereas in sheet metalworking, the – area-to-volume ratio is o low, high O high , low O high, high o low, low

EXPERT ANSWER The key difference between bulk deformation and sheet metal forming is that in bulk deformation, the work parts have a low area to volume ratio whereas, in sheet metal forming, the area to volume ratio is high. OPTION A IS CORRECT
