Once a year in a large vehicle repair shop, mechanics had to prepare used delivery trucks for resale. Part of the process involved scraping off old decals that covered the trucks using a small razor blade tool. It was a slow and tedious process removing about an inch at a time. One or two days were typically required to remove all the decals from a single truck.

Mousterian flake tools are named after a site in France. The later blade tools are flakes that are at least twice as long as they are wide. 

Natural and synthetic diamonds have been used for many years to true up and dress abrasive wheels. These are held in a holder of the required shape by vacuum brazing or held in a powder metal matrix and can be single point tools, multi-point grit tools, blade tools or cluster tools depending on the application (see Fig. 10.10). 

The machine was actually an 8-axis machine, with two steady rests to support the blade tooling. Extreme compound curvatures existed in the transition area between the air-foil section of the blade and the hub section. For conformity with these extreme compound curvatures, the tape head had the capability of splitting the 7.5-cm tape into 24 individually tensioned 0.31-cm tapes.

An alternative type of downhole mud motor is the mud turbine, (multistage axial flow turbine) which directly drives the bit. The tool consists of an upper section containing the turbine blades and lower section with bearings. As mud is pumped through the upper section the blades are turned. Turbines are designed to rotate at higher speed than the displacement motor. The higher rotation speed requires diamond or composite bits. 

Small complex tool steel parts are being made by conventional compaction and sintering in vacuum to near theoretical density. AppHcations include spade drills, knife blades, slotting cutters, insert blades for gear cutters, reamer blades, and cutting tool inserts. 

Niobium carbide is used as a component of hard metals, eg, mixtures of metal carbides that are cemented with cobalt, iron, and nickel. Along with tantalum carbide, niobium carbide is added to impart toughness and shock and erosion resistance. The spiraling rise in the price of tantalum has spurred the development of a hafnium carbide—niobium carbide substitute for tantalum carbide (68). These cemented carbides are used for tool bits, drill bits, shovel teeth, and other wear-resistant components turbine blades and as dies in high pressure apparatus (see Carbides). 

While for many years, metal single crystals were used only as tools for fundamental research, at the beginning of the 1970s single-crystal gas-turbine blades began to be made in the hope of improving creep performance, and today all such blades are routinely manufactured in this form (Duhl 1989). 

Replaceable-Blades Stabilizers. (See Figure 4-181 [58A].) These stabilizers can maintain full gauge stabilization. Their blades can be changed at the rig with hand tools no machining or welding is required. 

Additionally, a good scraping tool, such as a putty knife or wide-blade screwdriver, plus a small hammer, deposit sample bags, and a camera (if allowed) are also required.

There are, however, additional issues when one wants to perform the LES of an industrial device, and these are to be solved if the LES methodology is ever to be a useful tool. First, the geometric intricacy of most industrial combustion chambers cannot be represented with a Cartesian mesh high-order methods on unstructured grids must be developed. Moreover, many issues about the boundary conditions are raised, such as boundary movement for blades or pistons, turbulence injection, and acoustic properties. Such challenges are not to be underestimated, as their impact on the structure of the flow might sometimes be greater than that of the turbulence model.
