Mechanical Engineering Production Techniques, Tape 5 (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 (1986): Describes powder metallurgy from mixing the powders to the final component; typical products and the advantages.
2 (1988): Shows manual metal spinning and emphasises the craft aspects of the process.
3 (1988): Shows several methods of riveting, from hand riveting to automated riveting.
4 (1986): Shows examples from the gold plating of electronic components to the anodising of wing spars.
