Properties of Carpenter's hammer possess

Explanation:

1. The head of a carpenter's hammer should possess the impact resistance, so that the chips do not peel off the striking face while working.

2. The hammer head should also be very hard, so that it does not deform while driving or eradicate any nails in wood.

3. Carpenter's hammer is used to impact smaller areas of an object. It can drive nails in the wood, can crush the rock and shape the metal. It is not suitable for heavy work.

How hammer head is manufactured:

1. Hammer head is produced by metal forging process.

2. In this process metal is heated and this molten metal is placed in the cavities said to be dies.

3. One die is fixed and another die is movable. Ram forces the two dies under the forces which gives the metal desired shape.

4. The third process is repeated for several times.
