Hey all.
This whole virus thing has spiraled my studies out of control but it hasn't stopped professors from throwing projects at us. I'm wondering if you guys could help me out on something. I'm analyzing the manufacturing processes used to create a crank-case cover for a lawnmower.
I already know that the part is created through die casting, then goes through some trimming (I'm pretty sure, correct me if I'm wrong), then something else to get that polished look. At first I thought it may have been hand-polished but the inside of the cover is also polished, and it has way too many curves for a human to be involved in that process.
Does anyone know how they get that final polished look?
Also: for the mating faces, are those decking lines? What machine would they use for the swirly lines?
