Question 3
Explain the primary operations of powder metallurgy process in detail. What are the
major set-back of the components produced through primary operations especially for
high-strength or structural applications and how would you eradicate those set-back,
discuss about it. (20 marks)
Question 4
A. Chemical milling is used in aircraft plant to create pockets in wing sections made
of an aluminum alloy. The starting thickness of one work-part of interest is 22
mm. A series of rectangular-shaped pockets 14 mm deep are to be etched with
dimensions 300 mm by 500 mm. The corners of each rectangle are radiused to 16
mm. The part is an aluminum alloy and the etchant is NaOH. The penetration rate
for this combination is 0.026 mm/min and the etch factor is 1.8. Determine (i)
3
metal removal rate in mm /min, (ii) time required to etch to the specified depth,
and (iii) required dimensions of the opening in the cut and peel maskant to achieve
the desired pocket size on the part. (12 marks)
Question 5
A. What are the primary factors that led to development of computer integrated
manufacturing techniques? (4 marks)
B. What types of work material are usually preferred for extrusion process in the
context of plastic forming? Discuss in detail about the characteristics of work
material to be considered in the extrusion process. (16 marks)
