    Describe two major
    manufacturing processes.

    purposes

    of

    numerical

    modelling

    applied

    to

    [10 marks]

    2.

    (b)

    Using suitable diagrams explain the difference between Euler and Lagrangian
    schemes when setting up a computational domain.
    [5 marks]

    (c)

    When carrying out a simulation of a forming process what are the most
    important bulk and surface materials properties required?
    [5 marks]

    (d)

    Discuss how metallurgical structure might be included in a process model of


    forming.
    [5 marks]

    Defects, such as cracks, porosity and inclusions, which may be potentially damaging
    may be introduced into materials or components during manufacture, and other
    defects, such as fatigue cracks, may be generated during service. It is necessary to be
    able to detect and identify such defects and to ascertain their position and size so that
    decisions can be taken as to whether specific defects can be tolerated or not. A range
    of non-destructive test methods is available for the inspection of materials and
    components and the most widely used techniques are:
    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.
    5.

    Dye penetrant,
    Magnetic particle inspection,
    Eddy current systems,
    Ultrasonics, and
    Radiography.

    .
    (a)

    Which of the above techniques could be used to assess i) defects breaking the
    surface of the material and ii) subsurface defects?
    [5 marks]

    (b)

    Describe in detail two of the above NDT techniques.

    Question 3
    What is plasma?
    [4 marks]
    There are two types of plasma machining.
    Describe transfer torch, including water submerged machining, its advantages and
    disadvantages.
    [11 marks]
    Describe non-transfer torches, highlighting the primary difference to transfer torch, benefits
    and potential applications i.e. using a transfer torch or a non-transfer torch.
    [10 marks]
    Question 4.
    Describe the process of electric discharge machining.
    [12 marks]
    What are its advantages and disadvantages?
    [8 marks]
    Would this process be suitable for the manufacture of plastic injection mould for a model
    railway engine body
    [5 marks]
