1) Emulsion Cleaning (manufacturing)
Emulsion cleaning uses a mixture of a
hydrocarbon solvent, water and emulsifying agents.
The solvent, usually petroleum-based, comprises
from 1 % to 10% of the total and is dispersed in the
emulsion as fine globules with the help of an emul-
sifying agent (soap, glycerol, polyether or polyalco-
hol). Workpieces are sprayed with the emulsion or
are immersed in it with agitation. The emulsion
typically is heated to a temperature around 60°C
(140°F). The process is useful for removing heavy
deposits of soils from the workpiece, for example,
caked buffing compounds or mixtures of grease and
solid material. It usually leaves a thin coating of oil
on the workpiece. A hot-water rinse normally fol-
lows the cleaning operation.
The method is economical and safe because of
the high water content. It is commonly used as an
in-process operation.

2)Acid Cleaning(manufacturing)(better)
Acid cleaning is very similar to alka-
line cleaning except that the alkaline salt is
replaced by an acid or acid salt. Otherwise the
method is the same; a detergent and wetting agent
are also part of the solution. Acid cleaning is supe-
rior to alkaline cleaning in removing light rust or
other metal oxides, scale, tarnish and similar
deposits. For heavy coatings of grease and oil, acid
cleaning is not the best process. The process may
slightly etch the workpiece surface, but this is
desirable for paint adhesion. Aluminum, steel, iron
and copper are often cleaned with this approach.

Acid Cleaning (About Surface Treatments):(old)
Acid cleaning uses various solution containing organic acids, mineral acids, and acid salts,
combined with a wetting agent and detergent for cleaning of iron and steel. Such a cleaning
method may be used to remove oil, grease, oxide, and other contaminants without additional
application of heat.
Acid cleaning and acid pickling are quite similar processes, with acid pickling being
much more aggressive treatment, used for removal of scale from forgings or castings and
from various half-finished mill products.
Mineral acids and salts are numerous, forming either inorganic (mineral) acid solutions
or solutions of acid salts or acid-solvent mixtures. Organic components of these cleaning
solutions may be oxalic, tartaric, citric, acetic, and other acids, with acid salts such as
sodium acid sulfate, bifluoride salts, or sodium phosphates. Solvents used in this process
may be ethylene glycol or monobutyl (and other) ethers.

3) Sewing (manufacturing)(better)
The basic sewing operation in the
production of garments and other textile products is
the manually controlled sewing machine. “Its func-
tion is to form a chain of interlocking loops (or
links) of thread around small sections of fabric.” lo
The sewing machine makes each stitch and moves
the fabric into position for the next stitch in the
series. Industrial machines are all powered by elec-
tric motors and some reach speeds as high as 8000
stitches per minute. World-wide, there are thou-
sands of different models of machine, many made
for special purposes, such as overedging, embroi-
dery, chain stitching, continuous seaming, and
blind-stitching, as well as for certain operations
such as pocket sewing, button and button-hole
sewing. However, almost all have the common
characteristic of relying on a human operator to
obtain and position the fabric pieces, direct their
movement through the sewing head, control the
starting, the speed and stopping of the stitching, the
movement aside of the sewn component, and the
replenishment of thread. From this highly manual
system, there has been an evolutionary movement
towards more and more automatic operation of por-
tions of sewing operations and also of complete
operations. Most progress has been made with
those operations that are more highly repetitive.
The simplest automation is in machines that per-
form an automatic sewing cycle on fabric pieces
that are manually placed in position and manually
set aside after the operation. Examples are button
or buttonhole sewing, bar tacking, dart sewing and
pocket sewing. These machines are sometimes
referred to as stop motion muchines.l0 Next on the
degree of sophistication are semiautomatic
machines that perform such operations and move
the sewn assembly aside afterwards. The most
sophisticated machines are those that take fabric
pieces from a hopper or magazine, place them in
the sewing machine, perform the operations auto-
matically, and set the assembly aside. The opera-
tor’s duties are to load the hoppers and monitor the
machine operation. More recently-developed
machines perform these operations under computer
control and can sew with variations of size and
shape as dictated by the program.
Attachments for sewing machines improve the
quality and add to the productivity of certain oper-
ations. The attachments usually consist of fixtures
and guides to direct the fabric to the correct posi-
tion and mechanisms to perform certain other tasks.
They are frequently used in production sewing.
Examples include hemming fixtures, seam guides,
needle positioners (which control the height of the
needle when the machine stops), stitching tem-
plates, thread trimmers, knives, positioners, pipers,
gatherers, binders, rufflers and shirrers and devices
called stackers that remove and set aside the sewn
pieces. They may do this by sliding, lifting, or
inverting the piece.I Other devices move the fabric
automatically to the correct position for sewing and
to a new position after the first sewing operation is
completed.
Some of the operations performed by semiau-
tomatic and more fully automatic machines are the
following: buttonholing, button sewing with or
without automatic feeding of the buttons, tacking,
welting, dart stitching, contour or profile sewing in
which curved seams are sewn automatically, and
pocket setting. Backtracking and angular profiles
can be sewn automatically on some machines.
Sometimes, two or more sewing machines are
arranged in series so that the first machine per-
forms a sewing operation and the material is
moved automatically to the second machine for
another sewing operation. For products such as
sheets, pillowcases and table cloths, hemming may
be performed on both edges of fabric fed to two
machines from rolls, and it passes through the
machines for continuous sewing and cutting off.
Buttonholing and button sewing machines may be
made to repeat these operations at prescribed spac-
ing on a garment. These machines are programma-
ble so that the number of buttons and their spacing.
can be changed when different garments or differ-
ent sizes are sewn.
The sewing machine is a complex mechanical
device that performs many functions with respect
to the thread and the fabric, each at a precise instant
in the sewing cycle. Each machine includes devices
to maintain tension in the thread most of the time
and other devices to put slack in the thread when it
is needed, machine components to move the fabric
between stitches and other elements to hold the
fabric motionless when necessary. The sewing
machine needle is precisely shaped with a hole near
the point to carry the thread and a groove to contain
the thread when the needle passes through the fab-
ric. The shuttle used in some stitches must oscillate
or rotate but is not solidly connected to any shafts
because the thread must pass around it. Surfaces of
all thread handling elements of the machine must
be very smooth so as not to catch the thread during
its movement.
There are two basic sewing machine stitches:
chain stitches, which are made with one thread, fed
from the top, that interlocks with itself and lock
stitches, which use one thread fed from the top and
another in a bobbin in the machine to interlace with
the top thread.
Chain stitches are made by a hook-like element
called a looper that is beneath the bed of the
sewing machine. When a sewing needle and thread
penetrate the fabric and start an upward return
stroke, there is a small amount of slack in the
thread. The looper catches the slack loop and
moves it to a position where the next needle stroke
passes through it. As this operation continues, a
series or chain of stitches is formed, all with the
same thread. Chain stitches are simpler and faster
to sew than lock stitches and have more stretcha-
bility but have the possibility of unraveling if the
thread breaks and one of the thread ends is pulled
in a certain way. Fig. 10H4(a) shows a simple
chain stitch. With lock stitches, a moving hook in the
machine bed catches the slack in the needle thread,
just as a looper does, but moves it so that the
shuttle, which carries a bobbin of thread, passes
through the thread loop. This produces a bottom
thread, below the surface of the fabric, that inter-
locks with the needle thread from the top of the fab-
ric. Fig. 10H4(b) shows a simple lock stitch. Lock
stitches essentially remain in place even if the
thread should break.

Sewing(old)
Sewing is a common joining method for soft, flexible parts such as cloth and leather.The method involves the use of a long thread or cord interwoven with the parts so as to produce a continuous seam between them.The process is widely used in the needle trades industry for assembling garments.

4) Tool Wear(machinig)
The life of a cuttin g tool directly impac ts machi ning costs . The longer the
tool life is, the less the toolin g co st, an d furthermor e the few er the tool
chan ges (i. e., low er setup a nd prepa ration co sts). Despi te a century of
resear ch in th is area , mo st wear mech anism s report ed in the lit eratur e
should be treated as well-investigated conjectures, and not as proven
theorem s. Today , resear ch in this area has shifted toward monito ring and
predict ing tool wear in real time, in order to prolong tool usag e and also to
prevent catas trophi c failure of the tool. In many inst ances, breaking the
tool’s cutting edge (tip) can cause irreparable damage to the workpi ece’s
surface . Thus it woul d be prefer able to stop using the cutting too l well ahead
of this poin t.
Although cuttin g tools ha ve bee n class ified as single-poi nt and multi-point tools , many of the wear mech anisms for the former apply to the latter
as wel l. This common ality is further strengthened by the widespread use of
generi c inser ts (held in singl e- an d multipoint too l holders ) for turni ng,
milling , and even for large -diameter dr illing.
The tool regions of pa rticular inter est, from the wear poi nt of view, are
shown in Fig. 1 4. The rak e face is the prim ary surfa ce of co ntact be tween the
chip an d the cutting tool, and the flan k of the tool is a region (espec ially at
the c utting edge) where the tool comes into co ntact with the workpiece. The
geomet ries of both rake and flan k surfa ces significan tly affect cutti ng forces
and surface quality. For example , cutting-e dge strength would signi ficantly
di mini sh for back rake angles abo ve 5 j . In contrast, the cutting-edge
strength would increase as the ba ck-rake angle becom es ne gative and
ap proaches an optimal value aroun d 5 j . The end-relief angle prevent s
co ntact betw een the end flan k and the workpi ece, thou gh angles above 5 j
wi ll start weake ning the cu tting ed ge.

5) Discontinuous Chip(metah machining)(better)
Although continuous chips are most commonly encountered in practice, many materials form discontinuous chips under certain cutting conditions. The transition from continuous to discontinuous chip formation depends on the thermophysical properties and metallurgical state of the work material, as well as on the dynamics of the machine structure and cutting process. Transitions differ for each work material and are difficult to predict. Metals which tend to form continuous chips are usually soft, with face-centered or body-centered cubic structures and a high thermal conductivity and heat capacity (e. g. soft steels and aluminum alloys). Most metals which form discontinuous chips have a high hardness, hexagonal close-packed structure, and a low thermal conductivity (e. g. titanium alloys). Most materials, however, produce discontinuous chips under some conditions. Many materials undergo a transition as the cutting speed is increased. Low carbon steels, for example, form discontinuous chips at extremely low cutting speeds (less than 1 cm/s).
The chip initially begins to form with a relatively high shear angle. As deformation continues, the chip slides up or adheres to the rake face. This increases the frictional force and causes the shear angle to decrease and the material to bulge. As the shear angle decreases the strain along the shear plane increases until a critical value is reached, producing a ductile shear fracture. The process then starts over. Although this description is inexact it emphasizes the importance of tool-chip friction and the ductility of the work material in discontinuous chip formation. When cutting steels, discontinuous chips are more likely to occur at low cutting speeds because tool-chip temperatures are low, increasing the strength of the work material and thus frictional stresses near the cutting edge. Similarly, the use of low or negative rake angles, which increases the effective friction coefficient, also promotes discontinuous chip formation. The importance of two additional factors is not clearly indicated by this description. Discontinuous chips are also more likely to be formed when the rigidity of the tool or part is low and when the work material contains inhomogeneities. Low system stiffness increases the elastic strain energy stored in the system, especially at high feed rates, and promotes crack propagation and fracture. Similarly, inhomogeneities in the work material produce stress concentrations which promote crack nucleation and propagation.
Metal Cutting Theory and Practice Manufacturing Engineering and Materials Processing, Stephenson, David A.; Agapiou, John S., p477
Discontinuous Chip(in Metal Machining)(old description)
When relatively brittle materials (e.g. cast irons) are machined at low cutting speeds, the chips often form into separate segments ( sometimes the segments are loosely attached). This tends to impart an irregular texture to the machined surface. High tool-chip friction and large feed and depth of cut promote the formation of this chip type.
