Parts production

The materials needed for a building range from steel bars, cement, concrete, bricks, glass, etc., to as small as a screw or nut. A screw may seem like an insignificant little part, but has a very important function. For each connection, it needs screws and nuts. Therefore, how is it made? Where do these materials come from? How does it process? I visited the parts processing factory with my curiosity. Its raw materials come from various suppliers. After more than 10 processes of processing by workers, a small screw is born. Once produced, they are packed together and shipped to construction sites for use, with some materials and processing chips recycled.

1️⃣ Selection

The first is to choose different materials (copper, aluminum, stainless steel) according to the demand of different diameters of materials

2️⃣ Heat treatment

The wire is heated for a period of time and then cooled slowly to adjust the crystalline structure, reduce the hardness of the wire, and improve the workability of the wire at normal temperature

3️⃣ Acid treatment

Pickling removes the oxide film on the wire surface so that the wire can be processed more easily

4️⃣ Processing

According to the requirements of the drawings, the processing is divided into four stages.

1. In the roughing stage, most of the machining allowance of each machining surface of the chip is left for finishing.

2. In the finishing stage, large machine cutting speed and small machine cutting depth are adopted.

3. Polishing stage, mainly used to reduce the surface roughness value.

4. Ultra-precision machining stage, machining precision 0.1-0.01μm, surface roughness ra≤0.001μm processing stage.

5️⃣ Electroplating

Through the principle of electrochemistry, another metal is generated on the surface of the screw, to prevent the screw rust, prolong the service life, but also to achieve beautiful effect. Usually this step takes 1.5 to 2 hours and a small screw is created.

6⃣️ Recycling

The chips left over from processing are recycled. In the process of metal cutting, a large number of metal chips will be produced. The chip has certain recycling value.

Vernacular Architecture

https://www.re-thinkingthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/A2252-Why-architects-must-study-Vernacular-Architecture.jpg Vernacular architecture can be defined as a local or regional architecture that uses the traditional materials and resources of the area in which the building is built. Vernacular architecture often meets immediate local needs; Limited by materials available in a particular area; And reflect local traditions and cultural customs. This essay will discuss about the importance of vernacular architecture. It is important to discuss this question, due to which vernacular architecture is not taken seriously nowadays. This essay will discuss vernacular architecture in terms of characteristics, influence, and future development. In addition to vernacular architecture, there are some similar names. "Folk architecture" is built by "people with no professional training in the art of architecture." Vernacular architecture is' everyman

The Crystal Palace

The Crystal Palace was a cast iron and plate glass structure, originally built in Hyde Park, London. The building is 1,851 feet long and 128 feet high. The building reflects the development of modern architecture and modern industry with the development of the industrial Revolution. T he building originally planned as an exhibition, the materials used to build the house had to meet a few key specifications: temporary, simple and as cheap as possible. Its design inspiration comes from the lian network of support, purely made of steel and glass walls that building in building quickly good pervious to light again at the same time, to know the light is in more than 20 years later, in 1879 was Edison invented. Most interesting of all are the glass walls and ceilings of the building. As a result, indoor lighting is not required inside the building. The shape and size of the entire building is based on the glass produced by the supplier, which greatly changed the production co

Covered bridge -- Vernacular Architecture

A covered bridge is a wood truss bridge with a roof, deck, and siding, creating an almost complete shell on most covered Bridges. The purpose of the mulch is to protect the timber structural members from the weather. Due to the effects of rain and sun, a wooden bridge without a lid usually lasts only 20 years, but a covered bridge can last more than 100 years. Once common, only about one in 10 survived the 20th century. The relatively small number of Bridges that survive is due to the high cost of deliberate replacement, neglect, and repair ( Ross, 2012). This essay will compare and contrast the similarities and differences between Wenxing Bridge and the Kapellbrücke, as well as the vernacular architecture. It is important to discuss this question, due to which covered bridge is not just the meaning of the name, there is a lot of worth discussing behind it, by comparing the two Bridges, we can get a deep understanding into the covered wooden bridge, explore the vernacula
