The coefficient of elasticity of stretching. Within the limits of elasticity, the ratio of the linear stress to the linear strain is termed the modulus of elasticity or Young's Modulus and may be written Young's Modulus, Modulus of Elasticity or E =(Stress/Strain). It is this property that ...
The amount of energy per unit volume to remove material from the workpiece during a machining operation, measured in horsepower per cubic inches per minute. The specific cutting energy, also known as unit power, is a material property but is also affected by the type of machining operation and the ...
A punch is a tool that is forced into a piece of sheet metal in order to shear or deform the material. Punches are available in many shapes and sizes and can be used for a variety of processes. Many punches are cylindrical and the punch diameter determines the size of the hole or pocket being ...
A machine, also called a lathe, which feeds a cutting tool into a rotating workpiece to cut away chips of material. A turning machine may be operated manually or by computer numerical control (CNC) to perform a series of operations. External operations which modify the outer diameter of the ...
The amount of power required to remove one cubic inch of material from the workpiece during a machining operation, measured in horsepower per cubic inches per minute. Unit power, also known as specific cutting energy, is a material property but is also affected by the type of machining operation ...
The piece of material from which the workpieces or blanks are cut. If the workpieces are available in the desired size, the stock dimensions will equal those of the workpiece. However, a larger piece of bar stock or sheet stock is typically purchased and the workpieces are cut from it. The number ...
An additional mold piece that is used to form features that cannot be formed by the two mold halves, such as an external undercut. A side-core slides into the mold along one of its four sides and forms the shape of the undercut. A single side-core can be used to form multiple undercuts if they are ...
Lead time is the total time required to manufacture an order of parts, from the time the order is received until the parts are shipped. The lead time depends on several factors including the design and manufacturing time of any required tooling, the equipment setup time, and the production rate of ...
