The business plan


Management 


The business plan is an essential element of starling any business. It puts all of your ideas and research into one organized report that explains the nature of your business. No matter how basic and straightforward your idea is. you should always write a business plan. Writing a plan actually generates new ideas and forces you to flesh out current ones. A plan creates structure and organizes your thoughts: it should include the main strategy and research you have accumulated. The plan will serve as an operating manual when you start your business.

Directional Solidification

 Manufacturing




In a conventional procedure, metal is poured into a ceramic mold that is preheated to about half the temperature of the melt and allowed to solidify. The resulting solid is composed of relatively fine-grained crystals that are randomly oriented. In contrast, the object of directional solidification is to ori­ent the crystals all in one direction. This is done by slowly cooling the melt from one end of the mold to the other, thus the term directional. At the bottom of the mold is a water-cooled copper chill plate on which the first crystals begin to grow. As the entire mold is slowly lowered from the hot zone of a furnace, crystals begin to grow in columns. A turbine blade produced in this manner is made up of several long, columnar crystals, with roughly the same orientation, joined together along planes aligned in the direc­tion of extraction.

Laser-beam machining (LBM)


Manufacturig


The word laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Laser beam ma­chining is the process in which the work material is melted and vapourised by means of an intense mono­chromatic beam of light called the laser. Laser is an electromagnetic radiation. It produces monochro­matic light in the form of an almost collimated beam to remove the material.
