Sliding support is not a standard type of support in statics; the common types are fixed, pin, and roller supports.

Casting is not a forming process; it involves pouring liquid material into a mold rather than shaping solid material.

Forming processes are typically used to create sheet metal parts.

Heat engines must operate between two heat reservoirs, as they require a temperature difference to convert heat into work.

Heat transfer by convection requires a medium, typically a fluid, and involves the bulk movement of that fluid.

Heat can be transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation, which are the three primary modes of heat transfer.

In the equilibrium of a rigid body, both forces and moments must be considered to ensure the body remains at rest.

Welding is a common process used for joining metal parts by melting and fusing them together.

Pure substances have a defined melting point and boiling point, and they consist of a single chemical composition, but their specific heat can vary with temperature.

Investment casting involves pouring metal into a mold made from a pattern coated with a refractory material.

Electron beam welding is known for its ability to weld dissimilar metals due to its focused energy beam.

MIG welding is best suited for high-volume production due to its speed and efficiency.

TIG welding (Tungsten Inert Gas) uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld.
