Mechanical Engineering Production Techniques, Tape 3 (4 Parts)

Synopsis: A series of video programmes on the manufacture of components. The material shows actual (not idealised) practice, giving a realistic impression of both the process and industry. The series assumes no prior knowledge of engineering yet covers techniques which even experienced engineers may not have seen.
1 (1983): Follows the greensand process from pattern making to fettling the casting, but oils and and CO methods are shown as well.
2 (1983): Demonstrates the type of components that can be produced by investment casting and describes the process in detail. The advantages are stressed as the process is followed from pattern making to finishing.
3 (1983): Describes the complete extrusion process from billet manufacture through extrusion to straightening and heat treatment.
