      I recommend you research the term “industrial automation”. A very common standard for industrial manufacturing machine components are called PLC, programmable logic controllers. Another common material is T-slot aluminum extrusion rails, commonly used for structural aspects of a machine, a common brand of these is called 80/20.

    @dottorbarbaro 10 років тому +11

    In the 1800s, the process of grinding the needles to the point was done by hand, on large sharpening stones. The process was so dusty that the poor workman's lungs soon filled with dust, and most of them were dead because of this around the age of 40. Water could not be applied to the stones to remove the dust, as this would rust the needles. So, whenever you look an old needle, remember that some poor guy in the 1800s had his life drastically shortened to make it :(

    • @SonOfFurzehatt
      @SonOfFurzehatt 9 років тому +6

      It depends on the metallic properties required. Rapid cooling makes the pins rigid, which is useful if you don't want them to bend when sewing, but the metal is brittle. Slow cooling of aeroplane parts reduces brittleness, allowing the parts to flex with the stresses of moving during flight, and not crack with metal fatigue.
