Question 4

quenching,

Answer 4

in which the parts are rapidly cooled down by submerging them in oil.

Question 5

tempering

Answer 5

, the parts are heated again to around 450˚C. This reduces their hardness and brittleness and gives them toughness.

Question 6

hardening

Answer 6

, meaning they are heated to a temperature above 850˚C that changes the structure of the steel.

Question 11

precision-turned →

Answer 11

parts made by turning on a lathe (旋削、車削)
　➡️ 把材料（通常是金屬棒料）放在旋轉機器上切削出精確尺寸。
　例：螺絲、軸心、插銷、小金屬零件。
• machined components → parts that have been cut, drilled, milled, or shaped using machine tools (機械加工件)。
　➡️ 包含 milling（銑削）、drilling（鑽孔）、grinding（研磨）等。
• precision → 高精度，表示尺寸公差非常小、誤差極低。

Question 12

castings

Answer 12

Singular: casting
Verb root: to cast

⸻

💬 Meaning:

A casting is a metal part made by pouring molten (melted) metal into a mold, letting it cool and harden into a specific shape.

👉 中文意思：鑄件、鑄造零件
（指把金屬熔化後倒進模具成形的產品。）

Question 13

aluminium extrusion
（

Answer 13

美式拼法是 aluminum extrusions 🇺🇸，英式拼法是 aluminium 🇬🇧）

⸻

💬 Meaning:

Aluminium extrusions are long, shaped pieces of aluminum made by forcing heated aluminum through a mold (called a die) to create a continuous profile — like tubes, channels, or frames.

👉 中文意思：鋁擠型材／鋁擠製件／鋁型材
（指把加熱的鋁壓出模具口成特定斷面的長條形材料。）

Question 14

Vertical integration

Answer 14

means a company controls multiple stages of its supply chain

from raw materials, to production, to distribution — instead of outsourcing them.

自家有 設計 → 製造 → 表面處理 → 檢驗 → 配送 一條龍服務

3️⃣ Vertical integration reduces dependency on external partners.

Upstream integration
Downstream integration

垂直整合 = 自家掌控更多環節，少靠別人。
成本更穩、利潤更高，但投資也更重。
