What is SS Stainless steel, its Types, and Composition?
Stainless steel is an alloy that contains iron, relatively little carbon, minimum of 10.5% chromium, and up to 30% nickel. Although they are typically 18% chromium and 8% nickel. For increased corrosion resistance or for manufacturing requirements in specific applications, chromium can be increased and other elements such as manganese, aluminum, titanium, and molybdenum can […]
Non Ferrous Metals Copper, Brass, and Their Alloys
Non-ferrous metals and alloys do not contain significant amounts of iron. The most common non-ferrous metals used in engineering applications are copper, aluminum, tin, lead, and zinc. Nickel, Magnesium, and antimony are also used to alloy the non-ferrous metals mentioned above. Properties and Uses of Non Ferrous Metals Copper Copper is a corrosion-resistant metal with […]
What is Capacitor, Types, Uses, and Working?
In this article, we are going to discuss what is capacitor, working and its types. Capacitors are electronic devices that store electrical energy. Electrical energy stored in the capacitor is in the form of electrical charge. The effect of a capacitor is called capacitance. Capacitors are primarily used in electronic circuits for example printed circuit […]
What is Welding, Types of Joints and Welding Positions
Welding is a process of joining two similar or dissimilar metals by fusion. Welding joins the metals/alloys, with or without the application of pressure and with or without the use of fillers metal. The fusion of metals takes place by means of heat. Heat can be generated by the combustion of gases, electric arc, electrical […]
Moulding Sand, Types, Composition and its Properties
In this article, you will learn about the properties of moulding sand. Moulding Sand and its Properties In foundries, sand is used to make moulds. Natural sand is found in the bed and banks of rivers. It is an abundant source, although high-quality silica sand is also mined. Sand is chemically SiO2 Silicon dioxide in […]
What is a Transformer, Symbol, Types, and Turns Ratio
After going through this article, you will be able to learn: What is a Transformer? Transformers are devices that allow the transfer of the AC signal from one circuit to another. Transformers are generally used for stepping up the voltage, stepping down the voltage, or passing the voltage from one circuit to another without the […]
What is Electricity, Types, Sources and Uses
In this article, we are going to learn the following things: First of all, we will understand What is electricity. What is Electricity Electricity is a kind of energy that is not visible but its presence can be felt by its effects. Electricity is a form of energy that is produced by the conversion of […]
Microprocessor 8086 Pinout Diagram and Addressing modes
Before understanding the 8086 Pinout Diagram, we will understand what is microprocessor. A microprocessor is a computer processor. The microprocessor contains the arithmetic, logic, and control circuit required to perform the function of the computer’s central processing unit. The microprocessor is an electronic device. Microprocessors also denote something very little like a very small processor […]
What is Resistor, Symbol, Types, Resistor Color Coding
A resistor is an electronic component. The work of a resistor is to resist the flow of electricity. This flow of electricity is called current. In other words, the resistor stops the overflow of electricity. Every resistor has values that tell how resists current flow. This resistance value is called ohm. The resistance is used […]
What is Diode, Uses, Symbol, Types (Zener, LED, Avalanche, PIN, Schottky)
A diode is made up of two words that is di means two, and ‘ode’ means electrodes which means that a device or component has two electrodes. Diode have two electrodes anode and cathode. Most diodes are made with semiconductor materials such as silicon, germanium or selenium. Anode have a positive charge and cathode have […]
