In geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), MMC (Maximum Material Condition) and LMC (Least Material Condition) are fundamental concepts that help ensure proper part fit and function during manufacturing and assembly. These concepts link the physical size of a feature with its allowable geometric tolerance, enabling more flexible yet controlled manufacturing.

This tutorial explains how to calculate the percentage of a specific alloying element (e.g. C, Mn, Cr, Ni) in a weld bead based on contributions from base metal, filler metal, and other additives. This calculation is critical in welding metallurgy to predict the final chemical composition of the weld and ensure mechanical properties meet standards.

The ASME Y14.5-2018 standard is one of the most comprehensive and widely used guides for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) in engineering drawings. It provides standardized definitions and symbols to ensure clarity and consistency in design, manufacturing, and inspection processes. This article summarizes and explains the key terms and concepts from the standard to help engineers, designers, and technical professionals better understand and apply GD&T principles effectively.

🎥 Video Title: CATIA V5 – Bolt Joint Macro | Automatic Bolt Assembly Generator 📝 Video Description: In this video, I showcase a custom CATIA V5 VBA macro for automatically inserting and positioning a complete bolt joint — including the bolt, washers, and nut. The macro allows you to select the connection type (with or without nut), choose the standard (ISO, DIN), bolt size, and length. All components are automatically inserted and aligned using reference axes. 🔧 Key Features: Automatic insertion of all bolt joint components Support for multiple standards and sizes Smart positioning using Axis System references Saves time and ensures consistent assembly design 👉 Perfect for engineers who want to speed up the bolt joint creation process and eliminate repetitive manual steps in CATIA V5. #catia #vba #catiaautomation #boltjoint #cadmacro #engineeringdesign

MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding has become one of the most widely used welding processes in modern industry due to its high efficiency, automation capability, and compatibility with various materials. However, the type of arc transfer used in MIG welding plays a critical role in welding performance and quality. In this article, we explore the three main arc transfer modes in MIG welding: Short Arc, Spray Arc, and Globular Transfer — each with its own advantages and limitations. 🎯

Senang sekali bisa berbagi kemajuan terbaru dalam proyek saya! Saya baru saja menyelesaikan desain 3D untuk Roda Pemanen Kelapa Sawit yang Inovatif, lengkap dengan sistem suspensi terintegrasi, menggunakan Autodesk Fusion 360. Proses desain ini merupakan tantangan menarik dalam mengoptimalkan performa dan daya tahan roda, terutama di medan perkebunan kelapa sawit. Setelah desain 3D rampung, saya melangkah lebih jauh dengan melakukan simulasi aerodinamis dan fluid dynamics menggunakan Airshaper. Langkah ini krusial untuk menganalisis dan memvalidasi efisiensi desain, mengidentifikasi potensi area optimasi, dan memastikan kinerja optimal di lapangan. Pengalaman ini tidak hanya memperdalam pemahaman saya tentang desain komponen berat dan sistem suspensi, tetapi juga mempertajam kemampuan saya dalam memanfaatkan simulasi canggih untuk validasi rekayasa. Senang bisa terus belajar dan berinovasi! #DesainProduk #RekayasaMekanis #Fusion360 #Airshaper #Simulasi #Inovasi #KelapaSawit
