Hi I'm on to the last question for my HNC and having a nightmare trying to work out my best options! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The bracket show in figure 1 is to be used to mount an outboard motor onto the transom of a boat.
a. suggest two appropriate materials which will require different methods to manufacture the bracket.
b. Discuss the implications of each of the materials and manufacturing processes you have stated in a on the cost and service life of the bracket.
So I think I should be using aluminium as my first material, and stainless steel as my second. My problem is in choosing a manufacturing process. I think low pressure die casting for the aluminium, and maybe die forging for the stainless steel? I'm really not sure! A push the the right direction would be great!
