• aerospace industry ( in aerospace industry: Fabrication processes and materials )

  Fabrication involves the manufacture of individual components that make up larger assemblies or end products. This activity encompasses the working of metals and the incorporation of electrical and electronic devices into processors, circuit boards, and subassemblies for the components of navigation, communication, and control systems. Most of the basic metal-fabrication methods have been...

• glass ( in industrial glass: Fabrication )

  The two types of OWG are fabricated in different types of processes. Stepped-index OWGs are made by fusing a glass rod of core composition inside a glass tube of clad composition and then drawing them together. They also are made by the double-crucible technique (see Figure 11), in which two concentric compartments of a platinum crucible are fed with glass rods, and a composite stream is...

• meat processing ( in meat processing: Retail meat cutting )

  In the American style of meat cutting, whole carcasses are usually fabricated into more manageable primal (major) or subprimal (minor) cuts at the packing plant. This preliminary fabrication eases meat merchandising by reducing variability within the cuts. Primal and subprimal cuts are usually packaged and sold to retailers that further fabricate them into the products that are seen in the...

• optical fibre ( in telecommunications media: Optical fibres )

  The production process for manufacturing optical fibre is extremely demanding, requiring very close tolerances on core and cladding thickness. Although the manufacture of low-grade fibre from transparent polymer materials is not uncommon, most high-performance optical fibres are made of fused silica glass. The refractive index of either the core or the cladding is modified during the...
