A machine shop performs a variety of fabrication activities, including cutting, milling, turning, welding, and fabrication. Machine shops require specialized tools and equipment, which they use to create parts from a wide range of metal materials.  Each machining process requires different tools and skill sets, so skilled machinists undergo specialized training and certifications to operate the…

Resistance welding is a welding technique in which pressure and an electric current are applied to two pieces of metal, causing the metal to melt and form a weld. The resistance welding process requires no other materials, making it a highly cost-effective method of joining metals. There are many different types of resistance welding techniques,…

Computer numerical control (CNC) machining is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses computer-guided machinery and tooling. It is similar to manual machining processes in that it employs various tools to remove excess material from the workpiece (i.e., the blank) to achieve the desired shape and size. The main difference is that the motion and action…

Computer numeric control (CNC) machines are manufacturing units that utilize computer software to manage the motion and movement of the tools and/or workpiece during machining operations. Compared to manual machines, they can produce components with greater precision and accuracy at higher speeds since they need little to no human involvement to run once they are…

The term “aircraft shroud” can refer to a variety of parts within an aircraft. However, it is generally a non-structural protective panel that is used to block something from view or protect it from heat, internal flow disturbance, or another potentially damaging compound or condition. Examples include an engine exhaust shroud and shroud panel, both of…
