The V-Process: An Innovative Foundry Technique, Thomas John Miller
The V-Process: An Innovative Foundry Technique, Thomas John Miller
Graduate Research Papers
The V-Process is an innovative foundry technique that is relatively unknown in the United States (Dreger, 1976, p. 63). The V-Process, known as vacuum sealed molding of unbonded sand, is a patented industrial foundry practice. Plastic film, unbonded sand, and vacuum are used to encapsulate the mold cavity.
Initially, the V-Process was used to produce intricate ornamental and- art castings. The V-Process has been used to produce castings of all sizes and shapes including castings having thin section curtain walls. Other castings include 2600 pound iron ore crusher mills and eight ton ship anchors. V-Process castings weigh as little as …
Wood Finishing For Tree Samples Of Five Honduran Species, Amilcar A. Cruz
Wood Finishing For Tree Samples Of Five Honduran Species, Amilcar A. Cruz
Graduate Research Papers
This research report will study the application of four wood finishing techniques to samples of each of five species of Honduran hardwood.
These four wood finishing methods are: The varnish-method, the lacquer method, the antiquing method and the oil-rub method. The researcher will attempt to determine which is the best method for each of the five species.
Numerical Control Machining, Dennis L. Maclennan
Numerical Control Machining, Dennis L. Maclennan
Graduate Research Papers
Accurate and timely data depicting major aspects of manufacturing are essential to allow management to exercise effective controls for investments relating to automated equipment. One specific area of automated equipment can be termed "numerical control" (N/C) . "N/C is a technique for the control of production tools by information prerecorded in symbolic form (Devries, 1971, p. 1)." l This study is concerned with gathering material on the functional use and operation of N/C equipment. Specifically, the following areas of study were:
(1) to gather historical information on N/C equipment development;
(2) to investigate who are the major manufacturers of N/C …
Gasket Or Squeegee Painting, Virgil J. Berg
Gasket Or Squeegee Painting, Virgil J. Berg

1. Of what does the process consist?
2. What industries or manufacturing concerns are using the process?
3. Is the process satisfactory for use in the industrial arts laboratory?
4. Is the process economically feasible for student use?
5. Is the process within the range of average student ability?
6. Can equipment for the process be developed …
Photo Chemical Milling, Terry R. Smith
Photo Chemical Milling, Terry R. Smith
Graduate Research Papers
This study is concerned with the techniques used in the production of metal parts by the use of photofabrication. Included will be a research of the historical background of the industry, and the production processes used by the photofabrication industry that apply to this project. Information will include careers, education, current status of the industry, as well as methods for implementing the processes into the industrial arts curriculum.
