. In the atomic-hydrogen process, an arc is established between two tungsten electrodes in a stream of hydrogen gas using alternating current. As the gas passes through the arc, molecular hydrogen is dissociated into atomic hydrogen under the intense heat. When the stream of hydrogen atoms strikes the workpiece, the environmental temperature is then at a level where recombining into molecules is possible. As a result of the recombining, the heat of dissociation absorbed in the arc is liberated, supplying the heat needed for fusing the base metal and any filler metal that may be introduced. The atomic-hydrogen process depends...

Arc welding is one of several fusion processes for joining metals. By the application of intense heat, metal at the joint between two parts is melted and caused to intermix—directly or, more commonly, with an intermediate molten filler metal. Upon cooling and solidification, a metallurgical bond results.

The ASME Code of Ethics says: "Engineers shall hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public in the performance of their professional duties." This consideration is not new. Tacitus [10.1], about the first century A.D., said: "The desire for safety lies over and against every great and noble enterprise."

Not only must tools, equipment, and machines function, but in many cases their effectiveness depends on how well a human can use and operate them. A pair of pliers is useless unless it is held in the human hand; a lathe (if not run automatically) needs an operator to observe the cutting edge, to operate controls, and to feed and unload; maintenance and repair of equipment must be facilitated by proper design.

Mechanical properties are discussed individually in the sections that follow. Several new quantitative relationships for the properties are presented here which make it possible to understand the mechanical properties to a depth that is not possible by means of the conventional tabular listings, where the properties of each material are listed separately.

This chapter summarizes the structure of solids, including atomic bonding forces, atomic structures, crystal imperfections, slip, and mechanical strength. The section on mechanical properties and tests discusses all the hardness tests and includes a detailed explanation of the tensile test and tensile properties. The section on strength, stress, and strain

There is no shorthand method of designing machinery for a specified wear life. Thus a step-by-step method is given for designers to follow. The method begins with an examination of worn parts of the type to be improved. The next step is an estimate of stresses, temperatures, and likely conditions of operation of the redesigned machinery. Material testing for wear resistance is discussed, and finally, a procedure is given for selecting materials for wear resistance.

In this chapter some numerical techniques particularly useful in the field of machine design are briefly summarized. The presentations are directed toward automated calculation applications using electronic calculators and digital computers. The sequence of presentation is logically organized in accordance with the preceding table of contents, and emphasis is placed on useful equations and methods

SELECTEDMEASURING-SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND EXAMPLES 3.7.1 Operational Amplifiers Operational amplifiers [3.8] used in measuring systems have the basic configuration shown in Fig. 3.24. The operational amplifier is composed of a high-gain voltage amplifier coupled with both input and feedback impedances.

The essential purpose and basic function of all branches of engineering is design. Design begins with the recognition of a need and the conception of an idea to meet that need. One may then proceed to design equipment and processes of all varieties to meet the required needs. Testing and experimental design are now considered a necessary design step integrated into other

threshold value of the third variable can be estimated to provide a specified reliability. The actual value present in the design or part can then be compared to the threshold value to see if the part meets the desired reliability criteria and is then adequate for the specifications provided. 1.4 COMMUNICATIONOFENGINEERING INFORMATION The output of an engineering department consists of specifications for a product or a process. Much of the output is in the form of drawings that convey instructions for the manufacturing of components, the assembly of components into machines, machine installations, and maintenance. Additional information is provided by parts...

Design and the Designer Design and engineering, although sometimes viewed as distinct, are two facets of the same profession. Krick [1.1] states that engineering is a profession concerned primarily with the application of a certain body of knowledge, set of skills
