Basically, they can be classified into two: metallic and non-metallic. Furthermore, the metallic ones can be subdivided into ferrous and non-ferrous metals, while the non-metallic ones can be divided into natural and synthetic materials.</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-19706 aligncenter" src="https://classhall.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/properties-of-materials.jpg" alt="Properties of materials" width="600" height="175" /></p> <p> </p> <h2>The Definition of Wood</h2> <p>One of the materials that is supplied by nature is wood. Wood is commonly used in some engineering manufacture because it is light, strong and can be worked upon easily.</p> <p>Wood is a material obtained from trees. It is made up of cellulose and lignin each consisting of 60% and 28% respectively.</p> <p> </p> <h2>Identification of Wood</h2> <p>Generally, wood has very good combination of colours to give it high decorative value. This makes it possible to identify some woods by their colour. Examples are:</p> <p></p>

<h1><strong>BASIC EMISSION THEORY </strong></h1> CONTENT <ol> <li>Definition of Emission</li> <li>Electronic Emission</li> <li>Methods of Emission</li> </ol>   <h2><strong>Definition of Emission </strong></h2> Emission is the displacement or dislodgement of electron from a material with the intention of directing such electron to a predetermined position or object. The basic electronic emission occurs when heat, sunlight, electron collision, electromagnetic field and surface bombardment are used to release electron from the metal surface to the vacuum tube. <h2><strong>Electronic Emission </strong></h2> The electronic emission is the process of liberating or emitting free electrons from the metal surface to the vacuum tubes. A vacuum tube is an empty tube in which the air has been completely removed for the purpose of storing liquefied gas. <h2><strong>Methods of Emission</strong></h2> There are four principal methods of liberating electron from the surface of metal. They are

When it is wet, it can easily be molded into different shapes and sizes. We use clay to mould various objects like storage pots, cooking pots and dishes.</p> <p>We use mud to construct support for cooking pots, to build houses and also to make bricks for building houses. We make cement blocks that we use for building houses by mixing sand and cement to get typical shape. All the above solid objects made from clay, mud or cement are called ceramics.</p> <p>Ceramics break easily when dropped. We say they are brittle; this differentiates ceramics from metals, plastics, wood and rubber. Ceramics are less dense than most metals. They have high melting points.</p> <p>They are a very large group and have very wide uses such as:</p> <ol> <li>Refractory ceramics (high temperature bricks) for furnaces and flue linings.</li> <li>Tiles, such as roof tiles, glazed and unglazed floor and wall tiles, including white tiles.</li> <li>Sanitary fittings of all kinds usually known as white ware</li> <li>Common brick to high grade engineering brick used for the construction of machinery bases. Basically, they are of:</li> </ol> <p style="padding-left: 40px">(a) Structural clay products, including common bricks and sewer bricks. These products are dried and fired for strength after being made from a mixture of clay and shale.</p>

Driving Tools and Cutting Tools

<h1>DRIVING TOOLS AND CUTTING TOOLS</h1> <p>CONTENT</p> <ol> <li>Driving Tools</li> <li>Cutting Tools</li> </ol> <p> </p> <h2>Driving Tools</h2> <h3>Definition of Driving Tools</h3> <p>Driving tools are tools used for pushing in nails, screws into position. Examples are:</p> <h3>1. Hammers</h3> <p>Hammers have two distinct parts, the handle and the head. While the handle can be made of wood or metallic material, the head is always made of high carbon steel. The hammer is classified according to the type of head, hence we have:</p> <p>Ball peen, straight peen, cross peen and planishing hammer.</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-36657 aligncenter" src="https://classhall.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/driving-tools.jpg" alt="Driving tools - Hammers" width="330" height="318" /></p> <h3>2. Mallets</h3> <p>This is a soft hammer whose head is made of soft material like synthetic rubber to prevent the head from damaging the surface of the work piece.</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-36658 aligncenter" src="https://classhall.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/mallets.jpg" alt="Driving tools - mallets" width="442" height="197" /></p> <h3>3. Punches</h3> <p>These are used for producing holes on thin sheets of metal, to mark holes for drilling and to remove rivet. Examples are centre or dot punch, and pin punch for marking drill points.</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-36703 aligncenter" src="https://classhall.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/punches.jpg" alt="Driving tools - Punches" width="260" height="164" /></p>
