    Surface Hardening

    Hardening is a broad topic and Flame hardening and Shot peening are just a form/type of hardening. Don't be too concerned that you cannot find it in any Eng St textbooks. Questions in the HSC do not ask specifically "What is Flame Hardening?" but rather "Name two methods of hardening and why...

    2011 hsc engineering studies bending question

    Your answers are correct. But remember bending moment isnt 1890, its 1.89 kNm (convert your dimensions to metres before using it). Dimensions on this drawing is very confusing. In my opinion, the 1000 dimension is drawn incorrectly.

    some questions...

    1. Yep! you got it! reducing material is done to reduce weight and raw material costs. 2. I'm not 100% sure about zinc/cobalt corrosion combination, but reading how the question is asked, the answer would be Galvanic Corrosion. Here's a simple explanation of Glavanic Corrosion...

    some questions...

    Here's some hints. 1. Firstly, do you understand why I Beams are in the shape of an 'I'? When you've found the reason to its shape, you'll then understand why the amount of material at the centre of beam isn't critical (structurally). When you cut a hole out of the steel, what does it remove...

    HSC Engineering Preliminary and HSC Question!!

    Engineering is no different to any other subject: you need to do preliminary courses to develop skills and understanding to apply to HSC topics. If you want to try and do HSC course without prelim previously, be prepared to work extra hard! Eng St is already a difficult subject to achieve a...

    balsawood bridge

    Big Croc, you made your arch bridge from particle laminate board. This material is thinly layer plyboard in a cross directional grain direction. This material is actually stronger than many 'normal' timbers out there! It's manufactured to be a cheap and strong substitute for functionality. It...

    Scaling of Engineering studies?

    Why are you concerned about scaling for Engineering Studies? Are you trying to decide on whether or not to pick up the subject? One of the best scaling subjects is Extension 2 English & Maths. But if you get an average mark in those courses, its still an average mark after scaling. Pick...
