3.2 ENGINEERING DRAWING Introduction

Engineering industry is branching of mechanical engineering and industrial

engineering itself is a discipline that studies on the design, repair, manufacturing

systems, industrial management and installation of integrated systems consisting of

human, machine, methods, tools, materials, information, and energy. This discipline is

supported by knowledge of mathematics, physics, social sciences, and the principles

and methods of design analysis and design to build and repair the system.

3.2.1 THREE-DIMENSIONAL DRAWING The types of three-dimensional representation drawings that are relevant to this study

include praline (isometric and plan metric) and perspective (one and two point).

Page 29: Final Report pdf

15

1. PARALINE DRAWING

Objects are drawn with the receding lines remaining parallel to each other (hence the

term ‘Para-line’).

Common types of paraline drawings include

Isometric

Planometric.

Isometric Drawing

Isometric drawings are constructed with both sides receding from the corner edge at

30 degrees. The isometric drawing provides a comprehensive overall view of the

object.

Planometric Drawing

Planometric drawings are very similar to Isometric drawings, however, the base (or

plan) of the object retains its true form (is not altered) with both sides receding at 45

degrees (or one side recedes at 30 degrees and the other at 60 degrees).

2. PERSPECTIVE DRAWING

Objects are drawn in a naturalistic manner consistent with human vision; the receding

lines converge towards the horizon (eye level) rather than remain parallel to each

other. The placement of the horizon line determines the location of the viewer and

Page 30: Final Report pdf

16

provides capacity for different views of an object or the relationship of parts to each

other.

One-point perspective

Objects are drawn front on, with receding lines converging to one vanishing point

on the horizon.

Figure3. 1: One-point perspective drawing

Objects are drawn with a corner closest to the viewer and side drawn with

receding lines to two vanishing points on the horizon line.

Figure3. 2 Two-point perspective drawing

Page 31: Final Report pdf

17

3.2.2 ELLIPSES The knowledge and understanding of how to draw an ellipse is important to this

study. Whilst ellipse templates can be useful, students should know how to draft a

freehand ellipse for paraline and perspective purposes.

Figure3. 3 An isomeric ellipse

3.2.3 TWO-DIMENSIONAL DRAWING Types of two-dimensional representation drawings applicable to this study include

orthogonal, floor plans and elevations, and packaging nets.

1 .PACKAGING NET

A drawing of a flat two-dimensional shape that when folded becomes a three-

dimensional form. It can also be referred to as a development net. Often a packaging

net will include tabs for stability and fastening. The drawings are to scale and involve

the use of line conventions that indicate fold lines (broken lines) and cutting edge

(solid outline).

Page 32: Final Report pdf

18

2. FLOOR PLANS AND ELEVATIONS

Scaled two-dimensional drawings used by architects involving a set of conventions

regarding line types, dimensioning and symbols. Floor plans are views from above,

while elevations refer to views of the side or facade. Please refer to page 20 of this

resource material for further information on Architectural conventions relevant to this

study.

3. THIRD-ANGLE ORTHOGONAL DRAWINGS

There are occasions where a three-dimensional drawing may not provide enough

information about an object to be constructed. Orthogonal drawing is a multi-view

two-dimensional drawing system that resolves this problem. Each view of an object

(front, sides and the base) is drawn separately showing only two dimensions, but is

kept aligned and to the same scale. Combining multi views allows all three

dimensions to be considered.

Third-angle projection refers to the layout of views.

The views

Third angle orthogonal drawings can include as many views as required to

communicate the features of an object. In practice only the views required to describe

the object clearly are drawn.

Page 33: Final Report pdf

19

The views are known as:

FRONT VIEW

TOP VIEW

SIDE VIEW (left and/or right hand view)

Plan your layout

It is important to plan your drawing/solution and consider placement before you start.

Figure 3.4 shows appropriate positioning using an A3 sheet of paper. Notice there is

also an isometric view positioned in the top right-hand corner. This is often placed

there to provide a connection between the two-dimensional shapes of orthogonal and

more visually representative three-dimensional isometric form.

NOTE: The layout used will vary depending on the information to be communicated.

Consider the size of your paper choice, relative to the scale/dimension of the drawing,

and the orientation. A vertical orientation may better suit taller, thinner objects such

as a jug or drinking vessel.

Placement of views

The TOP VIEW is always directly above the FRONT VIEW and the SIDE VIEWS

are always ‘next to’ and ‘aligned to’ the FRONT VIEW. At times the views can be

placed apart equidistantly.

However, the views can be placed at different distances from the front view,

depending on what information, such as dimensions, needs to be included.

Page 34: Final Report pdf

20

If you want to place your views equidistant then you can use the 45 Degree Method to

place and project your views. The following steps describe the process.

1. The FRONT VIEW must be drawn first, then your vertical lines should be

projected to give the width of the TOP VIEW.

2. Project the horizontal lines from the FRONT VIEW to give the height of the SIDE

VIEW being represented.

3. Where the maximum width and height projection lines on the FRONT VIEW meet,

a 45 degree line will need to be drawn.

4. The SIDE VIEW vertical lines will need to be projected to the 45 degree line (these

lines must be 90 degrees). Where these lines meet the 45 degree line they will then

need to return to the TOP VIEW vertical projection lines (these lines must be 180

degrees).

5. All line types should now be present on the TOP VIEW.

6. Referring to the FRONT and SIDE VIEW the various lines will need to be defined

and drawn using the correct line type.

Once completed all views should be equidistant apart.

Page 35: Final Report pdf

21

Figure3. 4 Drawing sheet

Labeling orthogonal drawings

In VCE Visual Communication Design, students are required to label each view.

Each VIEW must be labeled using an uppercase, sans serif typeface.

For example GILL SANS typeface (or similar)

VIEW labels are located in a centered position under each view, 10mm below

the view, 5mm height.

LINE STYLES AND CONVENTIONS

The use of different line styles and widths is important in technical drawing as they

are used to indicate details and features in a drawing. Line styles make drawings

easier to read: for example, solid lines used to show the object will stand out from

broken lines used to show hidden information. The Australian Standards incorporates

Page 36: Final Report pdf

22

a detailed list of line styles for use in different fields of design including architecture

and engineering. For this study, it is appropriate for students to use a minimum of two

line weights to meet line style conventions.

This will include:

A heavier line to draw the views that represent the object being drawn and

dashed lines to represent hidden lines

A thinner ‘half weight’ line to provide additional information such as centre,

projection and dimension lines.

Figure3. 5 Basic Line Type

DIMENSIONING AN OTHOGONAL DRAWING

Placement of numeric information is known as dimensioning.

You can measure directly from an orthogonal drawing when the scale is 1:1 (full

size). All dimensions are recorded using true size measurements. Where the object

does not fit to the page, reduction ratios are used.

Page 37: Final Report pdf

23

These start at 1:2, 1:5, 1:10, 1:20, 1:50 and 1:100 (house) for drawing smaller than

full size.

Where the object is too small to work with easily enlarged ratios are used.

These start at 2:1, 5:1…for drawings larger than full size.

Each drawing needs to indicate the scale.

For example:

SCALE 1:1

ALL DIMENSIONS IN MM OR

SCALE 1:100

ALL DIMENSIONS IN MM

.

Dimension placement

The most important thing about dimensioning is to ensure that the measurements are

placed both logically and clearly. The student should:

Ensure that they have dimensions for the height, width and depth

Ensure that they have included all crucial dimensions that allow the object to

be interpreted

Dimension where the shapes are shown and try to avoid dimensioning hidden

lines

Space dimension lines so that the dimensions are not over crowded

Not over-dimension the work as it can lead to confusion and an untidy

drawing

3.3 Basic Machine shop In the development of every nation industries are very important and for industries

machinery is key factor. To check the development of any industry check it`s

machinery.

A machine shop is a room, building, or company where machining is done. In a

machine shop, machinists use machine tools and cutting tools to make parts, usually

of metal.

The production can consist of cutting, shaping, drilling, finishing, and other processes.

The machine tools typically include metal, milling machines, machining centers,

multitasking machines, drill presses, or grinding machines, many controlled

with CNC.

3.3.1 MACHINING OPERATIONS AND MACHINING TOOLS Turning and related operations

Drilling and related operations

Milling

Machining centers and turning centers

High speed machining

Other machining operations

3.3.2 Machining: A material removal process in which a sharp cutting tool is used to

mechanically cut away material so that the desired part geometry remains

Most common application :to shape metal parts

Machining is the most versatile and accurate of all manufacturing process in

its capability to produce a diversity of part geometries and geometric features

(e.g. screw threads, gear teeth, flat surfaces).

Classification of Machine Parts

Rotational –Cylindrical or disk – like shape: Achieved by rotation motion

of work part. Ex. Turning and Boring.

Figure3. 7 Turning

Page 41: Final Report pdf

27

Non-Rotational - block or plate – like shape: Achieved by linear motion of

work part.

Ex. Milling, Shaping, Planning and Sawing.

Figure3. 8 Shaping, Planning and Sawing

3.3.3 Types of gear manufacturing in Machine shop

Gear Shaper

A gear shaper is a machine tool for cutting the teeth of internal or external gears. The

name shaper relates to the fact that the cutter engages the part on the forward stroke

and pulls away from the part on the return stroke, just like the clapper box on a planer

shaper. To cut external teeth, a different machine called a hobbing machine can be

used.

Figure3. 9 Gear Shaper

Page 42: Final Report pdf

28

1. Spur Gears

They connect parallel shafts, have involutes teeth that are parallel to the shaft and can

have internal or external teeth. They cause no external thrust between gears. They are

inexpensive to manufacture. They give lower but satisfactory performance. They are

used when shaft rotates in the same plane.

Figure3. 10 Spur Gears

2. Helical Gears

Helical gears connect parallel shifts but the involutes teeth are cut at an angle to the

axis of rotation. Two mating helical gears must have equal helix angle but opposite

hand. They run smoother and more quietly. They have higher lo

ad capacity, are more expensive to manufacture and create axial thrust. They have

longer and strong teeth. They can carry heavy load because of the greater surface

contact with the teeth. The efficiency is also reduced because of longer surface

contact. The gearing is quieter with less vibration.

Figure3. 11 Helical gears

Page 43: Final Report pdf

29

3. Internal Gears

Internal gears are hollow. The properties and teeth shape is similar as of external

gears except that the internal gear had different addendum

and dedendum values modified to prevent interference in internal meshes. They are

designed to accommodate a wide range of equipment. These are ideal and cost

effective. The teeth are cut into the inside diameter while the outside diameter is

smooth. These gears are available only in brass. Internal gear offers low sliding and

high stress loading. They are used in planetary gears to produce large reduction ratios.

When choosing a mating gear the difference between the number of teeth of girth gear

and the pinion should not be less than 15.

Their non-binding tooth design ensures smooth, quiet operation. They are used to

transmit rotary motion between parallel shafts, the shaft rotating in the same direction

as the arrangement.

Figure3. 12 Internal gear

4. Worm Gears

The Worm gear is the heart of most mills and kiln drive system. They can't be used in

spare parts inventory. They are also used in steel industry, sugar industry, paper and

pulp industry. The girth gear has been preferred over the gearless drives due

to their lower initial cost, simplicity to install, operate and maintain.

Page 44: Final Report pdf

30

Figure3. 13 Worm Gears

3.3.4 Lathe machine. The lathe is a machine tool used principally for shaping articles of metal, wood, or

other material. All lathes, except the vertical turret type, have one thing in common

for all usual machining operations; the work piece is held and rotated around a

horizontal axis while being formed to size and shape by a cutting tool. The cutter bit

is held either by hand or by a mechanical holder, and then applied to the work piece.

Principal capabilities of the lathe are forming straight, tapered, or irregularly outlined

cylinders, facing or radial turning cylindrical sections, cutting screw threads, and

boring or enlarging internal diameters. The typical lathe provides a variety of rotating

speeds and suitable manual and automatic controls for moving the cutting tool.

Sizes

The size of an engine lathe is determined by the largest piece of stock that can be

machined. Before machining a workpiece, the following measurements must be

considered: the diameter of the work that will swing over the bed and the length

between lathe centers.

(b) Lathe Accessories

1. Chucks:

Workpieces are held to the headstock spindle of the lathe with chucks, faceplates, or

lathe centers. A lathe chuck is a device that exerts pressure on the workpiece to hold it

secure to the headstock spindle or tailstock spindle. Commonly used with the lathe are

the independent chuck, the universal scroll chuck, the combination chuck, the hollow

headstock spindle chuck, the lathe tailstock chuck, the collet chuck, and the step

chuck. Faceplates, or lathe centers. A lathe chuck is a device that exerts pressure on

the work piece to hold it secure to the headstock spindle or tailstock spindle.

Commonly used with the lathe are the independent chuck, the universal scroll chuck,

the combination chuck, the hollow headstock spindle chuck, the lathe tailstock chuck,

the collet chuck, and the step chuck.

2. Independent Chuck (Four Jaws Chuck):

The independent chuck generally has four jaws which are adjusted individually on the

chuck face by means of adjusting screws. The chuck face is scribed with concentric

circles which are used for rough alignment of the jaws when chucking round work

pieces. The final adjustment is made by turning the work piece slowly and using

gages to determine its concentricity. The jaws are then readjusted as necessary to

align the work piece to desired tolerances.

Figure3. 15 Four jaws chuck

Page 47: Final Report pdf

33

3. Universal Scroll Chuck (Three Jaws Chuck):

The universal scroll chuck usually has three jaws which move in unison as an

adjusting pinion is rotated. The advantage of the universal scroll chuck is its ease of

operation in centering the work for concentric turning. This chuck is not as accurate

as the independent chuck but, when in good condition, it will center the work

automatically within 0.003 of an inch of complete accuracy.

Figure3. 16 Three jaws chuck

4. Drill Chuck:

The drill chuck is a small universal-type chuck which can be used in either the

headstock spindle or in the tailstock for holding straight-shank drills, reamers, taps, or

small-diameter work pieces. The drill chuck has three or four hardened steel jaws

which are moved together or apart by adjusting a tapered sleeve within which they are

contained. The drill chuck is capable of centering tools and small-diameter work

pieces to within 0.002 or 0.003 of an inch when firmly tightened.

Figure3. 17 drill chuck

Page 48: Final Report pdf

34

5. Collet Chuck:

The collet chuck is the most accurate means of holding small work pieces in the lathe.

The collet chuck consists of a spring machine collet and a collet attachment which

secures and regulates the collet on the headstock spindle of the lathe.

Figure3. 18 Collet chuck

6. Faceplates:

A lathe faceplate is a flat, round plate that threads to the headstock spindle of the lathe.

The faceplates used for clamping and machining irregularly-shaped work pieces that

cannot be successfully held by chucks or mounted between centers. The work piece is

either attached to the faceplate using angle plates or brackets, or is bolted directly to

the plate. Radial T-slots in the faceplate surface facilitate mounting work pieces. The

faceplate is valuable for mounting work pieces in which an eccentric hole or

projection is to be machined. The number of applications of the faceplate depends

upon the ingenuity of the machinist.

Figure3. 19 Faceplate

Page 49: Final Report pdf

35

7. Lathe Dogs:

Lathe dogs are cast metal devices used in conjunction with a driving plate or a

faceplate to provide a firm connection between the headstock spindle and the work

piece that is mounted between centers. This firm connection permits the work piece to

be driven at the same speed as the spindle under the strain of cutting. Frictional

contact alone, between the live center and the work piece, is not sufficient to drive the

work piece. Three common types of lathe dogs are illustrated in figure. Lathe dogs

may have bent tails or straight tails. When the bent tail dogs are used, the tail fits into

a slot of the driving face plate. When straight tail dogs are used, the tail bears against

a stud projecting from the faceplate.

8. Steady Rest:

Work pieces often need extra support, especially long, thin work pieces that tend to

spring away from the cutter bit. Two common supports or rests are the steady rest and

the follower rest. The steady rest or center rest, as it is also called, is used to support

long work pieces or shafts being machined between centers or for boring operations.

It is also used for internal threading operations where the work piece projects a

considerable distance from the chuck or faceplate. The steady rest is clamped to the

lathe bed at the desired location and supports the work piece within three adjustable

jaws. The rest prevents the work piece from springing under cut, or sagging as a result

of the otherwise unsupported weight. The work piece must be machined with a

concentric bearing surface at the point where the steady rest is to be applied. The jaws

must be carefully adjusted for proper alignment and locked in position. The area of

contact must be lubricated frequently. The top section of the steady rest swings away

Page 50: Final Report pdf

36

from the bottom section to permit removal of the work piece without disturbing the

jaw setting.

Figure3. 20 Steady Reast

9. Follower Rest:

The follower rest is used to back up a work piece of small diameter to keep it from

springing under the stress of the cutting operation. The follower rest gets its name

because it follows the cutting tool along the work piece. The follower rest has one or

two jaws that bear directly on the finished diameter of the work piece opposite and

above the cutting tool. The rest is bolted to the lathe carriage so that it will follow the

cutter bit and bear upon that portion of the work piece that has just been turned. The

cut must be started and continued for a short longitudinal distance before the follower

rest is applied. The rest is generally used only for straight turning or threading long,

thin work pieces

Page 51: Final Report pdf

37

(c) Basic Lathe Operations:

1. Facing:

Facing is the square finishing of the ends of the workpiece and is often used to bring

the piece to a specified length. In facing operations, the cutter bit does not traverse

laterally (left or right) but cuts inward or outward from the axis of the piece. Facing of

the ends is usually performed before turning operations.

Figure3. 21 Facing

2. Straight Turning:

Straight turning may he performed upon a workpiece supported in a chuck, but the

majority of workpieces turned on an engine lathe are turned between centers. Turning

is the removal of metal from the external surface of cylindrical workpieces using

various types of cutter tool bits.

Figure3. 22 Straight turning

Page 52: Final Report pdf

38

3. Parting:

One of the methods of cutting off a piece of stock while it is held in a lathe is a

process called parting. This process uses a specially shaped tool with a cutting edge

similar to that of a square nose cutting tool. The parting tool is fed into the rotating

workpiece, perpendicular to its axis, cutting a progressively deeper groove as the

workpiece rotates. When the cutting edge of the tool gets to the center of the

workpiece being parted, the workpiece drops off. Parting is used to cut off parts that

have already been machined in the lathe, or to cut tubing and bar stock to their

required lengths.

Figure3. 23 Parting

4. Contour Turning:

Instead of feeding the tool along a straight line parallel to the axis of rotation as in

turning, the tool follows a contour that is other than straight, thus creating a contoured

form in the turned part.

Figure3. 24 Contour Turning

Page 53: Final Report pdf

39

5. Chamfering:

The cutting edge of the tool is cut an angle on the corner of the cylinder, forming what

is called a “chamfer”.

Figure3. 25 Chamfering

6. Threading:

A method of producing screw threads that uses a single-point tool to cut a blank or

workpiece as it rotates on a lathe. A pointed tool is fed linearly across the outside

surface of the rotating work part in a direction parallel to the axis to rotation at a large

effective feed rate, thus creating threads in the cylinder.

Figure3. 26 Threading

7. Taper Turning:

In ordinary straight turning, the cutting tool moves along a line parallel to the axis of

the work, causing the finished job to be the same diameter throughout. However,

when cutting a taper, the tool moves at an angle to the axis of the work, producing a

Page 54: Final Report pdf

40

taper. Therefore, to turn a taper, the work must either be mounted in a lathe so that the

axis upon which it turns is at an angle to the axis of the lathe, or cause the cutting tool

to move at an angle to the axis of the lathe.

Figure3. 27 Taper Turning

8. Boring:

A single point tool is fed linearly, parallel to the axis of rotation, on the inside

diameter of an existing hole in the part.

Figure3. 28 Boring

9. Form Turning:

In this operation, sometimes called forming, the tool has a shape that is imparted to

the work by plunging the tool radially into the work.

Page 55: Final Report pdf

41

Figure3. 29 Form Turning

10. Drilling:

Drilling can be performed on a lathe by feeding the drill into the rotating work along

its axis. Reaming can be performed in a similar way.

Figure3. 30 Drilling

11. Knurling:

This is not a machining operation because it does not involve cutting of material.

Instead, it is a metal forming operation used to produce a regular cross-hatched

pattern in the work surface.

Figure3. 31 Knurling

Page 56: Final Report pdf

42

Safety at Lathe Machine

All lathe operators must be constantly aware of the safety hazards that are associated

with using the lathe and must know all safety precautions to avoid accidents and

injuries. Carelessness and ignorance are two great menaces to personal safety. Other

hazards can be mechanically related to working with the lathe, such as proper

machine maintenance and setup. Some important safety precautions to follow when

using lathes are:

Correct dress is important, remove rings and watches, roll sleeves above

elbows.

Always stop the lathe before making adjustments.

Does not change spindle speeds until the lathe comes to a complete stop.

Handle sharp cutters, centers, and drills with care.

Remove chuck keys and wrenches before operating

Always wear protective eye protection.

Handle heavy chucks with care and protect the lathe ways with a block of

wood when installing a chuck.

Know where the emergency stop is before operating the lathe.

Use pliers or a brush to remove chips and swarf, never your hands.

Never lay tools directly on the lathe ways. If a separate table is not available,

use a wide board with a cleat on each side to lay on the ways.

Keep tools overhang as short as possible.

Never attempt to measure work while it is turning.

Never file lathe work unless the file has a handle.

File left-handed if possible.

Protect the lathe ways when grinding or filing.

3.3.5 Types of lathe Machine.

1. Turret lathe

The turret lathe is a form of metalworking lathe that is used for repetitive production

of duplicate parts, which by the nature of their cutting process are

usually interchangeable. It evolved from earlier lathes with the addition of the turret,

which is an index able tool holder that allows multiple cutting operations to be

performed, each with a different cutting tool, in easy, rapid succession, with no need

for the operator to perform setup tasks in between, such as installing or uninstalling

tools, nor to control the tool path

Figure3. 32 Turret lathe

2. Faceplate Lathe Machine A lathe faceplate is the basic work holding accessory for a wood or metal

turning lathe. It is a circular metal (usually cast iron) plate which fixes to the end of

the lathe spindle. The work piece is then clamped to the faceplate, typically using t-

nuts in slots in the faceplate, or less commonly threaded holes in the faceplate itself

Page 58: Final Report pdf

44

Figure3. 33 Faceplate Lathe Machine

3. Heavy duty lathe - A special type of lathe A lathe is a stationary machine that is used to manufacture work pieces that are

symmetric about an axis of rotation. Heavy duty lathes are a special type of lathe.

Contrary to small and medium sized lathes, heavy duty lathes can process work pieces

weighing up to several tones. Heavy duty lathes can produce products such as shanks,

camshafts and cranks for ship diesel engines, spools for mills, or hydraulic shanks for

powerful linear motors.

Figure3. 34 Heavy duty lathe

Page 59: Final Report pdf

45

4. Boring Vertical Turret lathe (BVT)

A vertical turret lathe works much like an engine lathe turned up on end. You can

perform practically all of the typical lathe operations on a vertical turret lathe,

including turning, facing, boring, machining tapers, and cutting internal and external

threads.

Figure3. 35 Boring Vertical Turret lathe

3.3.6 Gear Hobbing Machine Hobbing is a machining process for gear cutting, cutting splines, and

cutting sprockets on hobbing machine, which is a special type of milling. The teeth or

splines are progressively cut into the work piece by a series of cuts made by a cutting

tool called a hob. Compared to other gear forming processes it is relatively

inexpensive but still quite accurate, thus it is used for a broad range of parts and

quantities.

It is the most widely used gear cutting process for creating spur and helical gears.

Page 60: Final Report pdf

46

Figure3. 36 Hub Cutter

3.3.7 Horizontal Boring Machine

A horizontal boring machine or horizontal boring mill is a machine

tool which bores holes in a horizontal direction.

Figure3. 37 Horizontal Boring Machine

A horizontal boring machine has its work spindle parallel to the ground and work

table. Typically there are 3 linear axes in which the tool head and part move.

Convention dictates that the main axis that drives the part towards the work spindle is

the Z axis, with a cross-traversing X axis and a vertically traversing Y axis. The work

spindle is referred to as the C axis and, if a rotary table is incorporated, its centre line

is the B axis

Page 61: Final Report pdf

47

3.3.8 MILLING MACHINE Milling is the process of machining flat, curved, or irregular surfaces by feeding the

work piece against a rotating cutter containing a number of cutting edges. The usual

Mill consists basically of a motor driven spindle, which mounts and revolves the

milling cutter, and a reciprocating adjustable worktable, which mounts and feeds the

work piece.

Figure3. 38 MILLING MACHINE

Milling machines are basically classified as vertical or horizontal. These machines are also classified as knee-type, ram-type, manufacturing or bed type, and planer-type. Most milling machines have self-contained electric drive motors, coolant systems, variable spindle speeds, and power-operated table feeds

3.3.9 DRILLING MACHINE Drilling machine is one of the most important machine tools in a workshop. It was

designed to produce a cylindrical hole of required diameter and depth on metal work

pieces. Though holes can be made by different machine tools in a shop, drilling

machine is designed specifically to perform the operation of drilling and similar

operations. Drilling can be done easily at a low cost in a shorter period of time in a

drilling machine.

Drilling can be called as the operation of producing a cylindrical hole of required

diameter and depth by removing metal by the rotating edges of a drill. The cutting

tool known as drill is fitted into the spindle of the drilling machine. A mark of

indentation is made at the required location with a centre punch. The rotating drill is

pressed at the location and is fed into the work. The hole can be made up to a required

depth.

Size of a drilling machine

Drilling machines are specified according to their type.

To specify the machine completely the following factors are considered:

The maximum diameter of the drill that it can handle

The size of the largest work piece that can be centered under the spindle

Page 64: Final Report pdf

50

Distance between the face of the column and the axis of the spindle

Diameter of the table

Maximum travel of the spindle

Numbers and range of spindle speeds and feeds available

Morse taper number of the drill spindle

Floor space required

Weight of the machine

Power input is also needed to specify the machine completely.

Tools used in a drilling machine

Different tools are used for performing different types of operations. The most

commonly used tools in a drilling machine are

1. Drill

2. Reamer

3. Counter bore

4. Countersink

5. Tap

1. Radial drilling machine

The radial drilling machine is intended for drilling on medium to large and heavy

work pieces. It has a heavy round column mounted on a large base. The column

supports a radial arm, which can be raised or lowered to enable the table to

accommodate work pieces of different heights. The arm, which has the drill head on it,

can be swung around to any position. The drill head can be made to slide on the radial

Page 65: Final Report pdf

51

arm. The machine is named so because of this reason. It consists of parts like base,

column, radial arm, drill head and driving mechanism.

Figure3. 39 Radial drilling machine

2. Bench and Column or Pillar type drilling machines

There are two types of machine drill, the bench drill and the pillar drill. The bench

drill is used for drilling holes through materials including a range of woods, plastics

and metals. It is normally bolted to a bench so that it cannot be pushed over and that

larger pieces of material can be drilled safely. The larger version of the machine drill

is called the pillar drill. This has a long column which stands on the floor. This can do

exactly the same work as the bench drill but because of its larger size it is capable of

being used to drill larger pieces of materials and produce larger holes.

Page 66: Final Report pdf

52

Figure3. 40 Bench and Column or Pillar type drilling machines

3.3.10 Shaper

A shaper is a machine tool which holds and locates a work piece on a table and

machines or cuts the work piece by feeding it against a reciprocating cutting tool. In

other words, the ram of the shaper moves a single point cutting tool back-and-forth,

and on each forward stroke, the tool removes a chip of metal from the work piece.

The work piece is held in the vise of the shaper or secured to the table of the shaper

with clamps, T-bolts, etc. When horizontal surfaces are being machined, the table

automatically feeds the work to the cutting tool on each return stroke of the ram.

When vertical cuts are being made, the work is fed to the cutting tool on each return

stroke of the ram either manually or automatically. The cutting tool on a shaper can

be set to cut horizontally, on an angle, or vertically.

Page 67: Final Report pdf

53

Figure3. 41 Shaper

Types of Shapers

There are three types of shapers:

Crank shapers

Gear shapers

Hydraulic shapers

Crank shapers are most commonly used. A rocker arm, operated by a

crank pin from the main driving gear, gives the ram of the crank shaper a

back-and-forth (reciprocating) motion.

Gear shapers are driven by a gear and rack assembly. Gear shapers have a

reversible electric motor or mechanical mechanism which quickly returns the

ram, in readiness for another cut.

Hydraulic shapers are driven by movement of a piston in an oil-filled

cylinder. Mechanical features on these shapers are the same as those on crank

shapers.

Page 68: Final Report pdf

54

3.3.11 Planer

A planer is a type of metalworking machine tool that uses linear relative motion

between the work piece and a single-point cutting tool to machine a linear tool

path. Its cut is analogous to that of a lathe, except that it is linear instead of helical.

A planer is analogous to a shaper, but larger, and with the entire work piece moving

on a table beneath the cutter, instead of the cutter riding a ram that moves above a

stationary work piece. The table is moved back and forth on the bed beneath the

cutting head either by mechanical means, such as a rack and pinion drive or a lead

screw, or by a hydraulic cylinder

Figure3. 42 Planer

Linear planing Helical planing Prevalence of current use

Double-housing planers

Double-housing planers are the most widely used and provide the greatest tool

support rigidity. The major components of a double-housing planer are the bed, table,

housings, arch, cross rail, and heads (side and rail). The bed is the foundation to

Page 69: Final Report pdf

55

which the housings are attached. The bed is provided with precision ways over its

entire length and supports the reciprocating table.

The table supports the work piece and reciprocates along the ways of the bed. The

table is slightly less than half the length of the bed and its travel determines the

dimensional capacity of the machine in length of stroke. The housings are rigid box-

type columns placed on each side of the bed and table. They are heavily braced and

ribbed to absorb the large cutting forces encountered in planing. The arch joins the

housings at the top for greater rigidity of construction and also houses the drive

mechanism for tool feeding. The cross rail is a rigid horizontal beam mounted above

and across the table on the vertical ways of the columns. It supports the rail heads and

provides for horizontal feeding of the cutting tools

3.3.12 GRINDING MACHINES

Grinding is a process of removing materials in the form of ground chips from a work

piece by mechanical action of many small abrasive particles bonded together in a

Page 70: Final Report pdf

56

grinding wheel. Each abrasive particle is acting as a small cutting tool. It is a finishing

process employed for producing close dimensional accuracies and smooth surface

finish the work piece. The regulating wheel is having same direction of rotation as the

grinding wheel. The axial movement of the work piece is obtained a longitudinal feed

by tilting the regulating wheel at a slight angle of 1 to 8 degrees relative to grinding

wheel.

Figure3. 44 GRINDING MACHINES

3.3.13 Slotting machine

Slotting machines or slotters are cutting machines designed to machine slots and

grooves into a work piece.

Slotting Machine Operation Slotting machines operate using a mounted blade in conjunction with a movable table

that moves metal back and forth to create cuts and shapes. Shaping machines

generally have a cutting tool that is mounted vertically. Because of this, slotting

machines are many times referred to as vertical shapers. However, sometimes slotters

Page 71: Final Report pdf

57

are distinguished as having fixed blades while shapers have adjustable mounts and

slides.

Selecting Slotting Machines The most important considerations when selecting a slotting machine are the stroke

length, spindle orientation, motor power, and slotter features.

Stroke length determines the reach of the ram that holds and propels the cutting

tool. A larger stroke means a farther cut forward and back. Stroke can generally be

set between a range of lengths.

Spindle orientation is what determines the particular type of shaping machine

based on the direction of its stroke (horizontal, vertical, or angled). Slotting

machines generally utilize vertically mounted cutting tools, but can have

horizontal or angled blades fixed to a vertical ram.

Motor power is the amount of power the motor provides to drive the ram and

cutting tool. This is usually measured in horsepower (HP). Larger motors provide

the power to cut bigger sized work pieces requiring deeper strokes at higher

speeds.

Features on slotting machines can also determine its usefulness in various

applications. These include rotary tables, which allow slotters to machine curved

surfaces, and digital automation via computer numerical control (CNC).

A large number of sizing properties may also be important depending on the type of

work pieces being machined. These include ram and throat adjustment lengths, ram

bearing length, table diameter, base plate dimensions, and the space between the head

and table.

Page 72: Final Report pdf

58

Figure3. 45 Slotting machine

Industries and Applications Slotting machines are used to cut grooves and slots in shapes and holes while

additionally smoothing the worked surface. They are used in steel rolling mills, paper

mills, power plants, ship building, textile factories, tool rooms, and repair shops.

3.3.14 Overhead cranes Overhead cranes, sometimes also called bridge cranes, are cranes with a hoist

traveling along the bridge between parallel runways. They are designed to meet the

medium to heavy industrial lifting requirements, covering all parts of the

manufacturing process

3.4 ASSEMBLY SHOP

An assembly line is a manufacturing process (most of the time called a progressive

assembly) in which parts (usually interchangeable are added to a product in a

sequential manner to create a finished product much faster than with handcrafting-

type methods.

3.4.1 Important Terms used in Limit System

The following terms used in limit system (or interchangeable system) is important

from the subject point of view:

Nominal size. It is the size of a part specified in the drawing as a matter of

convenience.

Basic size. It is the size of a part to which all limits of variation (i.e. tolerances)

are applied to arrive at final dimensioning of the mating parts. The nominal or

basic size of a part is often the same.

Page 74: Final Report pdf

60

Actual size. It is the actual measured dimension of the part. The difference

between the basic size and the actual size should not exceed a certain limit;

otherwise it will interfere with the interchangeability of the mating parts.

Limits of sizes. There are two extreme permissible sizes for a dimension of the

part as shown in Fig.1. The largest permissible size for a dimension of the part is

called upper or high or maximum limit, whereas the smallest size of the part is

known as lower or minimum limit.

Allowance. It is the difference between the basic dimensions of the mating parts.

The allowance may be positive or negative. When the shaft size is less than the

hole size, then the allowance is positive and when the shaft size is greater than the

hole size, then the allowance is negative.

Tolerance. It is the difference between the upper limit and lower limit of a

dimension. In other words, it is the maximum permissible variation in a

dimension. The tolerance may be unilateral or bilateral. When all the tolerance is

allowed on one side of the nominal size, e.g.., then itis said to be unilateral system

Page 75: Final Report pdf

61

of tolerance. The unilateral system is mostly used in industries as it permits

changing the tolerance value while still retaining the same allowance or type of fit.

When the tolerance is allowed on both sides of the nominal size, e.g. , then it is said to

be bilateral system of tolerance. In this case + 0.002 is the upper limit and – 0.002 is

the lower limit.

The method of assigning unilateral and bilateral tolerance is shown in Fig.2 (a) and(b)

respectively.

7. Tolerance zone. It is the zone between the maximum and minimum limit size, as

shown in Fig.3.

Figure3. 47 Tolerance Zone

Page 76: Final Report pdf

62

Zero line. It is a straight line corresponding to the basic size. The deviations are

measured from this line. The positive and negative deviations are shown above and

below the zero line respectively.

9. Upper deviation. It is the algebraic difference between the maximum size and the

basic size. The upper deviation of a hole is represented by a symbol ES (Ecart

Superior) and of a shaft, it is represented by es.

10. Lower deviation. It is the algebraic difference between the minimum size and the

basic size. The lower deviation of a hole is represented by a symbol EI (Ecart Inferior)

and of a shaft, it is represented by ei.

11. Actual deviation. It is the algebraic difference between an actual size and the

corresponding basic size.

12. Mean deviation. It is the arithmetical mean between the upper and lower

deviations.

13. Fundamental deviation. It is one of the two deviations which is conventionally

chosen todefine the position of the tolerance zone in relation to zero line, as shown in

Fig. 4.

Page 77: Final Report pdf

63

3.4.2 Fits:

The degree of tightness or looseness between the two mating parts is known as a fit of

the parts. The nature of fit is characterized by the presence and size of clearance and

interference.

The clearance is the amount by which the actual size of the shaft is less than the

actual size of the mating hole in an assembly as shown in Fig.5 (a). In other words,

the clearance is the difference between the sizes of the hole and the shaft before

assembly. The difference must be positive.

Figure3. 48 Type of fit

Page 78: Final Report pdf

64

The interference is the amount by which the actual size of a shaft is larger than the

actual finished size of the mating hole in an assembly as shown in Fig.5 (b). In other

words, the interference is the arithmetical difference between the sizes of the hole and

the shaft, before assembly. The difference must be negative.

Types of Fits

According to Indian standards, the fits are classified into the following three groups :

Clearance fit. In this type of fit, the size limits for mating parts are so selected

that clearance between them always occur, as shown in Fig.5 (a). It may be

noted that in a clearance fit, the tolerance zone of the hole is entirely above the

tolerance zone of the shaft.

In a clearance fit, the difference between the minimum size of the hole and the

maximum size of the shaft is known as minimum clearance whereas the

difference between the maximum size of the hole and minimum size of the

shaft is called maximum clearance as shown in Fig.5 (a).

The clearance fits may be slide fit, easy sliding fit, running fit, slack running

fit and loose running fit.

Interference fit. In this type of fit, the size limits for the mating parts are so

selected that interference between them always occur, as shown in Fig.5 (b). It

may be noted that in an interference fit, the tolerance zone of the hole is

entirely below the tolerance zone of the shaft.

Page 79: Final Report pdf

65

In an interference fit, the difference between the maximum size of the hole and

the minimum size of the shaft is known as minimum interference, whereas

the difference between the minimum size of the hole and the maximum size of

the shaft is called maximum interference, as shown in Fig.5 (b).

The interference fits may be shrink fit, heavy drive fit and light drive fit.

3. Transition fit. In this type of fit, the size limits for the mating parts are so

selected that either a clearance or interference may occur depending upon the

actual size of the mating parts, as shown in Fig.5 (c). It may be noted that in a

transition fit, the tolerance zones of hole and shaft overlap. The transition fits

may be force fit, tight fit and push fit.

3.4.3 Basis of Limit System

The following are two bases of limit system:

1. Hole basis system. When the hole is kept as a constant member (i.e. when the lower

deviationof the hole is zero) and different fits are obtained by varying the shaft size,

as shown in Fig. 6 (a),then the limit system is said to be on a hole basis.

2. Shaft basis system. When the shaft is kept as a constant member (i.e. when the

upper deviation of the shaft is zero) and different fits are obtained by varying the hole

size, as shown in Fig. 6 (b),then the limit system is said to be on a shaft basis.

Page 80: Final Report pdf

66

Figure3. 49 Basis of limit system

The hole basis and shaft basis system may also be shown as in Fig. 7, with respect to

the zero line

3.5 Tool Room

A toolroom is a room where tools are stored or, in a factory, a space where tools are

made and repaired for use throughout the rest of the factory. In engineering and

manufacturing, tool room activity is everything related to tool-and-die facilities in

contrast to production line activity.

Heat treatment

Heat Treatment is the controlled heating and cooling of metals to alter their physical

and mechanical properties without changing the product shape.

Annealing

Annealing, in metallurgy and materials science, is a heat treatment wherein a material

is altered, causing changes in its properties such as strength and hardness. It

is a process that produces conditions by heating to above the re-

crystallization temperature and maintaining a suitable temperature, and

then cooling. Annealing is used to induce ductility, soften material,

relieve internal stresses, refine the structure by making it homogeneous, and

improve cold working properties.

Page 83: Final Report pdf

69

Figure3. 50 Annealing

Normalizing Annealing, in metallurgy and materials science, is a heat treatment wherein a material

is altered, causing changes in its properties such as strength and hardness. It

is a process that produces conditions by heating to above the re-

crystallization temperature and maintaining a suitable temperature, and

then cooling. Annealing is used to induce ductility, soften material,

relieve internal stresses, refine the structure by making it homogeneous,

and improve cold working properties. In the cases of copper, steel, silver, and

brass this process is performed by substantially heating the material (generally until

glowing) for a while and allowing it to cool slowly. In this fashion the metal is

softened and prepared for further work such as shaping, stamping, or forming.

Figure3. 51 Normalizing

Page 84: Final Report pdf

70

Hardening

(a) Flame hardening A high intensity oxy-acetylene flame is applied to the selective region. The

temperature is raised high. The "right" temperature is determined by the operator

based on experience by watching the color of the steel. The overall heat

transfer is limited by the torch and thus the interior never reaches the high

temperature. The heated region is quenched to achieve the desired

hardness. Tempering can be done to eliminate brittleness.

Figure3. 52 Hardening

(b) Induction hardening In Induction hardening, the steel part is placed inside an electrical coil

which has alternating current through it. This energizes the steel part and heats it

up. Depending on the frequency and amperage, the rate of heating as well as

the depth of heating can be controlled. Hence, this is well suited for surface

heat treatment. The Induction and flame hardening processes protect areas exposed to

excessive wear. Items that we induction harden include Spur Gears and Spur Pinions

,Helical Gears and Helical Pinions, Sprockets, Internal Gears, Bevel Gears, Shafts and

Page 85: Final Report pdf

71

Pins, Rails and Racks, Wheels and Rollers Sheave Wheels, Links, Axle Boxes and

Bushes.

Figure3. 53 Induction hardening

4. Tempering

Tempering is a heat treatment technique for metals, alloys and glass. In steels,

tempering is done to "toughen" the metal by transforming brittle marten site into

bainite or a combination of ferrite and cementite. Precipitation hardening

alloys, like many grades of aluminum and super alloys, are

tempered to precipitate inter metallic particles which strengthen the metal.

Tempering is ac co mp l i s hed b y a c on t ro l l ed r ehe a t i n g o f t he wo rk

p i ec e t o a t em pe ra tu re be l o w i t s l o we r critical temperature.

t em pe red . C a rb o n a t om s we re trapped in the austenite when it was rapidly

cooled, typically by oil or water quenching, forming the marten site. The marten site

becomes strong after being tempered because when reheated, the microstructure can

rearrange and the carbon atoms can diffuse out of the distorted BCT structure. After

the carbon diffuses, the result is nearly pure ferrite.

Page 86: Final Report pdf

72

5. Stress releasing

Stress releasing is used to reduce residual stresses in large castings,

welded parts and cold-formed parts. Such parts tend to have stresses due

to thermal cycling or work hardening. Parts are heated to temperatures of up to

600 - 650 ºC (1112 - 1202 ºF), and held for an extended time (about 1 hour or more)

and then slowly cooled in still air.

6. Carburizing

Carburizing, also known as carburization, is a heat treatment process in

which iron or steel is heated in the presence of another material (but below the

metal's melting point) which liberates carbon as it decomposes. The outer

surface or case will have higher carbon content than the o r i g i na l

m a t e r i a l . W he n t he i ro n o r s t e e l i s c oo l e d ra p i d l y b y q uen c h i ng ,

t he h i gh e r ca rb o n content on the outer surface becomes hard, while the core

remains soft and tough. This manufacturing process can be characterized by

the following key points: It is applied to low-carbon work pieces; work

pieces are in contact with a high-carbon gas, liquid or solid; it produces a

hard work piece surface; work piece cores largely retain their toughness and ductility

and it produces case hardness depths of up to 0.25 inches (6.4 mm).

Figure3. 54 Carburizing

Page 87: Final Report pdf

73

7. Phosphating

Phosphate coatings are used on steel parts for corrosion resistance, lubricity, or as a

foundation for subsequent coatings or painting. It serves as a conversion coating in

which a dilute solution of phosphoric acid and phosphate salts is applied via spraying

or immersion chemically reacts with the surface of the part being coated to

form a layer of insoluble, crystalline phosphates. Phosphate conversion

coatings can also be used on aluminum, zinc, cadmium, silver and tin. The main types

of phosphate coatings are manganese, iron and zinc. Zinc phosphates are used for

rust proofing (P&O), a lubricant base layer, and as a paint/coating base and can

also be applied by immersion or spraying.

3.9.1 Welding Mainly welding is done in all bays of fabrication shop. The type

of welding used in fabrication shop is as follows:

1. Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW)

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding,

is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce

the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by an inert

shielding gas (argon or helium), and a filler metal is normally used, though some

welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it. A constant-current welding

power supply produces electrical energy, which is conducted across the arc through a

column of highly ionized gas and metal vapors known as plasma.

GTAW is most commonly used to weld thin sections of stainless steel and non-

ferrous metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and copper alloys

Figure3. 56 Gas tungsten arc welding

Page 94: Final Report pdf

80

2. MIG Welding (GMAW)

Gas metal arc welding (GMAW), sometimes referred to by its subtypes metal inert

gas (MIG) welding or metal active gas (MAG)welding, is a welding process in

which an electric arc forms between a consumable wire electrode and the work piece

metal(s), which heats the work piece metal(s), causing them to melt, and join.

Figure3. 57 MIG Welding

3. Submerged arc welding (SAW)

The process requires a continuously fed consumable solid or tubular (metal cored)

electrode. The molten weld and the arc zone are protected from atmospheric

contamination by being "submerged" under a blanket of granular fusible flux

consisting of lime, silica, manganese oxide, calcium fluoride, and other compounds.

When molten, the flux becomes conductive, and provides a current path between the

electrode and the work. This thick layer of flux completely covers the molten metal

Page 95: Final Report pdf

81

thus preventing spatter and sparks as well as suppressing the intense ultraviolet

radiation and fumes that are a part of the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW)

process.

SAW is normally operated in the automatic or mechanized mode, however, semi-

automatic (hand-held) SAW guns with pressurized or gravity flux feed delivery are

available

Figure3. 58 Submerged arc welding

4. SMAW Welding

Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc

welding (MMA or MMAW), flux shielded arc welding[1] or informally as stick

welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered

with a flux to lay the weld.

Page 96: Final Report pdf

82

An electric current, in the form of either alternating current or direct current from

a welding power supply, is used to form an electric between the electrode and

the metals to be joined. The work piece and the electrode melts forming the weld pool

that cools to form a joint. As the weld is laid, the flux coating of the electrode

disintegrates, giving off vapors that serve as shielding and providing a layer of slag,

both of which protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination.

4.1.3 PATTERN ALLOWNCES Shrinkage Allowance

Solid shrinkage is the reduction in volume caused when metal loses temperature in

solid state. A shrinkage allowance for metal casting is something that must be figured

into a design from the very beginning. As the molten metal cools and solidifies it

will begin to contract. This means that although the molten metal completely filled up

a mold, by the time the casting was cold, the casting is smaller than the mold. What

this mean is that a pattern must be made larger than the design drawing. The

difference between the size or dimensions of the desired casting and the size of the

pattern used to create the mold is called a shrinkage allowance. The shrinkage

allowance for metal casting varies by the type of metal. It takes experience in metal

casting to be able to accurately judge the proper shrinkage allowance to be built into a

pattern. The shrinkage allowance for metal casting is linear meaning that these

allowances apply in every direction. Shrinkage allowance for steel = 1.8%Shrinkage

allowance for cast iron = 0.8%

Machining Allowance

Machining allowance is a small amount of material which is added to a pattern

in areas where it will be machined. For inside structure the machining allowance is

negative and for outside it is positive.

Page 103: Final Report pdf

89

Draft Allowance

Draft allowance is a small amount of taper made in a pattern which will allow it more

easily removed from the mold.

Shake allowance: Before withdrawal from the sand mold, the pattern is rapped all

around the vertical faces to enlarge the mold cavity slightly which facilitates its

removal. Since it enlarges the final casting made, it is desirable that the original

pattern dimensions should be reduced to account for this increase.

4.2 CAST IRON & STEEL FOUNDARY

INTRODUCTION TO CASTING:

In the casting processes, a material is first melted, heated to proper temperature, and

sometimes treated to modify its chemical composition. The molten materials then

poured into a cavity or mold that holds it in the desired shape during cool-down and

solidification. In a single step, simple or complex shapes can be made from any

material that can be melted. By proper design and process control, the resistance to

working stresses can be optimized and a pleasing appearance can be produced.

Cast parts range in size from a fraction of a centimeter and a fraction of a gram (such

as the individual teeth on a zipper) to over 10 meters and many tons (as in the huge

propellers and stern frames of ocean liners). Moreover, the casting processes have

distinct advantages when the production involves complex shapes parts having hollow

sections or internal cavities, parts that contain irregular curved surfaces (except those

Page 104: Final Report pdf

90

can be made from thin sheet metal), very large parts, or parts made from metals that a

difficult machine.

It is almost impossible to design part that cannot be cast by one or more of

commercial casting processes. However, as with all manufacturing techniques, the be

results and lowest cost are only achieved if the designer understands the various

options and tailors the design to use the most appropriate process m the most efficient

manner. The variety of casting processes use different mold materials (sand, metal, or

various ceramics) and pouring methods (gravity, vacuum, low pressure, or high

pressure). All share the requirement that the material should solidify in a manner that

will maximize the properties and avoid the formation of defects, such as shrinkage

voids, gas, porosity, and trapped inclusions.

4.2.1 CAST IRON & STEEL FOUNDARY Basic Requirements of Casting Processes

Six Basic requirements are associated with most casting processes.

A mold cavity, Having the desired shape and size, must be produced with due

allowance for shrinkage of the solidifying material. Any geometrical feature

desired in the finished casting must exist in the cavity. Consequently, the mold

material must be able to reproduce the desired detail and also have a refractory

character so that it will not contaminate the molten material that it will

contain.

A melting process must be capable of providing molten material not only at

the proper temperature, but also in the desired quantity, with acceptable

quality, and within a reasonable cost.

Page 105: Final Report pdf

91

A pouring technique must be devised to introduce the molten metal into them

old. Provision should be made for the escape of all air or gases present in the

cavity prior to pouring, as well as those generated by the introduction of the

hot metal. The molten material is then free to fill the cavity, producing a high-

quality casting that is fully dense and free of defects.

The solidification process should be properly designed and controlled.

Castings should be designed so that solidification and solidification shrinkage

can occur without producing internal porosity or voids. In addition, the molds

should not provide excessive restraint to the shrinkage that accompanies

cooling. If they do, the casting may crack when it is still hot and its strength is

low.

It must be possible to remove the casting from the mold (i.e., Mold

removal).With single-use molds that are broken apart and destroyed after each

casting, there is no serious difficulty. With multiple-use molds, however, the

removal of a complex- shaped casting may present a major design problem.

After the casting is removed from the mold, various Cleaning, finishing, and

inspection Operations may be required. Extraneous material is usually

attached where the metal entered the cavity, excess material may be present

along mold parting lines, and mold material often adheres to the casting

surface. All of these must be removed from the finished casting.

4.2.2 Sand Casting:

Sand casting, the most widely used casting process, utilizes expendable sand molds to

form complex metal parts that can be made of nearly any alloy. Because the sand

mold must be destroyed in order to remove the part, called the casting, sand casting

typically has a low production rate. The sand casting process involves the use of a

furnace, metal, pattern, and sand mold. The metal is melted in the furnace and then

ladled and poured into the cavity of the sand mold, which is formed by the pattern.

The sand mold separates along a parting line and the solidified casting can be

removed. The steps in this process are described in greater detail in the next section.

Sand casting is used to produce a wide variety of metal components with complex

geometries. These parts can vary greatly in size and weight, ranging from a couple

ounces to several tons. Some smaller sand cast parts include components as gears,

pulleys, crankshafts, connecting rods, and propellers. Larger applications include

housings for large equipment and heavy machine bases. Sand casting is also common

in producing automobile components, such as engine blocks, engine manifolds,

cylinder heads, and transmission cases.

4.2.3 Foundry Process:

Foundries produce castings that are close to the final product shape, i.e., “near-net

shape “components. Castings are produced by pouring molten metal into moulds, with

cores used to create hollow internal sections. After the metal has cooled sufficiently,

the casting is separated from the mould and undergoes cleaning and finishing

techniques as appropriate

Page 107: Final Report pdf

93

The production process involves a number of steps as shown

Sand Casting Processes:

Sand molding systems use sand as a refractory material and a binder that maintains

the shape of the mould during pouring. A wide range of sand/binder systems are used.

Green (wet) sand systems, the most common sand system, use bentonite clay as the

binder, which typically makes up between 4% and 10% of the sand mixture. Water,

which makes up around 2–4% of the sand mixture, activates the binder. Carbonaceous

material such as charcoal (2–10% of total volume) is also added to the mixture to

provide a reducing environment. This stops the metal from oxidizing during the

pouring process. Sand typically comprises the remaining 85–95% of the total mixture.

Page 108: Final Report pdf

94

4.2.4 To carry out the sand molding process:

1. Bellow: A bellow is used to blow loose sand particles from the pattern and the

mold cavity.

Figure4. 4 Bellow

2. Lifter or cleaner: It lifts dirt or loose sand from the mold. It is used for repairing

and finishing the sand mold cavity.

3. Heart & square: It is employed for finishing the mould cavity.

4. Rammer: It is used for ramming the sand in molds.

Figure4. 5 Rammer

5. Floor rammer: It is larger in size as compared to hand rammer. It is used for floor

molding.

6. Hand riddle: It consists of wire mesh fitted into a circular wooden frame. It is used

for cleaning, removing foreign matter from sand.

Page 109: Final Report pdf

95

Figure4. 6 Hand riddle

7. Sprue pin: It is tapered wooden rod which is placed in the cope to make sprue

cavity.

8. Trowels: Trowels used to finish flat surfaces of the mould, cut in gates, make joints

or repair mold.

Figure4. 7 Trowel

9. Smoothers and corner slicers: they are employed to repair and finish corners,

edges, round and flat surfaces.

10. Gate cutter: it is a shaped piece of sheet metal. It is used to cut the gate.

11. Shovel: Shovel used to transfer molding sand from store to place of use. Also

used to mix and temper the molding sand.

Figure4. 8 Shovel

Page 110: Final Report pdf

96

12. Flask: It has two parts, upper part is known as cope and the lower part is known

as drag.

Figure4. 9 Flask

4.2.5 Procedure of Sand Casting: 1. Pattern Making

Pattern making is the first stage for developing a new casting. The pattern, or replica

of the finished piece, is typically constructed from wood but may also be made of

metal, plastic, plaster or other suitable materials. These patterns are permanent so can

be used to form a number of moulds. Pattern making is a highly skilled and precise

process that is critical to the quality of the final product.

2. Mould Making and Core Making:

The mould is formed in a mould box (flask), which is typically constructed in two

halves to assist in removing the pattern. Sand moulds are temporary so a new mould

must be formed for each individual casting. A cross-section of a typical two-part sand

mould.

4.2.6 Advantages of Sand Casting:

Use is widespread; technology well developed.

Materials are inexpensive, capable of holding detail and resist deformation

when heated.

Page 111: Final Report pdf

97

Process is suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous metal castings.

Handles a more diverse range of products than any other casting method.

Produces both small precision castings and large castings of up to 1 tone.

Can achieve very close tolerances if uniform compaction is achieved.

Mould preparation time is relatively short in comparison to many other

processes.

The relative simplicity of the process makes it ideally suited to mechanization.

High levels of sand reuse are achievable.

Limitations of Sand Casting:

Typically limited to one or a small number of moulds per box..

Sand: metal ratio is relatively high.

High level of waste is typically generated, particularly sand, bag house dust

and spent shot.

4.2.7 Safety Precautions:

The methods and materials involved in any form of metal casting operation are

very hazardous. Educate yourself on the proper safety precautions before

attempting any metal casting.

Never put water on a metal fire. This can cause a huge explosion!

Have a dry pile of sand and a shovel ready to put out fires or to control metal

spills.

Page 112: Final Report pdf

98

Have a sand bed under all areas. The sand bed should be at least 3 inches thick.

This will help in containing metal spills and will help protect flooring.

Never pour over wet ground. Remember, even trace amount of moisture can cause

explosions.

Molten metal spilled on concrete will cause the concrete to explode. Use a thick

sand bed over concrete.

Always use clean metal as feedstock. Combustion residues from some lubricants

and paints can be very toxic.

Always operate in a well-ventilated area. Fumes and dusts from combustion and

other foundry chemicals, processes and metals can be toxic.

Use a niosh rated dusk mask. Dusts from sand, parting dusts and chemicals can be

hazardous or cancer causing. Protect your lungs!

Always use safety glasses. Even minor mishaps can cause blindness.

Never use a crucible that has been damaged or dropped. It's just not worth the risk.

Imagine what would happen if a white-hot crucible of brass crumbled as you were

carrying it!

Always charge crucibles when cold. Adding metal to a hot crucible is really

dangerous. If there is moisture on the metal, even just a haze, the metal can cause

the entire contents of the crucible to explode.

Spilled molten metal can travel for a great distance. Operate in a clear work area.

Think about what you are doing at all times. Focus on the job at hand and the next

step. Have all moves planned and rehearsed prior to any operation.

using dies. In free forging large allowance is present.

HMC have following facilities in this shop:

1 ton hammer

2 ton hammer

3 ton hammer

4.3.3 Forge It is the ability of the material to undergo deformation under compression without

rapture. Any material or alloy which can be brought to plastic stage through

heating can be forged the extent to which the material can be forged is governed

by its compositions as well as temperature of the forging. Selection of the forging

material depend upon certain mechanical prosperities inherent in the material like

strength, malleability, resistance to fatigue , durability, shock or bending

machineability .

Some forgeable materials are listed below:

Pure aluminum

Pure magnesium

Pure copper

Aluminum alloys

Magnesium alloys

Page 115: Final Report pdf

101

Copper alloys

Carbon and low alloy steels

Stainless steel

Nickel alloys

Metal forging

Is a metal forming process that involves applying compressive forces to a work piece

to deform it, and create a desired geometric change to the material.

The forging process is very important in industrial metal manufacture, particularly in

the extensive iron and steel manufacturing industry.

A steel forge is often a source of great output and productivity. Work stock is input to

the forge, it may be rolled, it may also come directly from cast ingots or continuous

castings. The forge will then manufacture steel forgings of desired geometry and

specific material properties. These material properties are often greatly improved.

Hot Die vs. Cold Die Forging

Hot forging is done at a high temperature, which makes metal easier to shape and

less likely to fracture. Most metal forging operations are carried out hot, due to the

need to produce large amounts of plastic deformation in the part, and the advantage of

an increased ductility and reduced strength of the work material.

Figure4. 10 Hot Die

Page 116: Final Report pdf

102

Cold forging is done at room temperature or near room temperature. Cold

die forging manufacture, while requiring higher forces, will also produce greater

surface finish and dimensional accuracy than hot die forging. Some specific metal

forging processes are always performed cold, such as coining.

Warm forging is do ne a t in te rm e d ia te t e mp e ra t u re b e t wee n ro o m

t em pe ra t u r e an d h o t f o rg in g t e mpe ra t u r es .

Forged parts can range in weight from less than a kilogram to 170 metric

tons. Forged parts usually require further processing to achieve a finished part

FUNCTIONS OF FORGE SHOP

Hydraulic Forging Press:

It consists of the press, the hydraulic intensifier, and the auxiliary water tank. A piece

of work is compressed between the dies. Numerous shapes of dies may be used. The

press head is forced down by hydraulic pressure on the ram in the cylinder, and is

lifted by steam pressure under the two pistons in the cylinders. The vertical motion of

the press head is directed by the four columns which hold the press firmly against

distortion. Water pressure is exerted through the pipe from the steam intensifier.

Steam admitted under the piston imparts the pressure to the water.

NDT methods application and limitation

1. Radiography testing method

Radiography is the most universally used NDT method for detection of gas

porosity in the weldments.

The radiography image of a “Round Porosity” will appear as oval shaped spots

with smooth edges, while “elongated porosity” will appear as oval

shaped spots with major axis. Sometimes several time longer then minor

axis.

Foreign material such as loose scale, flux or splatter will affect validity of test

results.

Page 125: Final Report pdf

111

1. Ultrasonic Testing method

Ultrasonic testing equipments are highly sensitive, capable of detecting micros

eparations

Surface finishing and grain size will affect the validity of the test

Figure5. 2 Ultrasonic Testing Method

2. Eddy current testing method

Normally confined to thin wall welded pipes and tube

Penetration restricts testing to a depth of more than one quarter inch

Figure5. 3 Eddy current testing method

3. Liquid penetrate testing method

Normally confined to in processes control of ferrous and non ferrous welds

Page 126: Final Report pdf

112

Liquid penetrant testing is like magnetic particle is restricted to surface

evaluation

Extreme condition must be exercised to prevent any cleaning

material

Figure5. 4 Liquid penetrate testing method

4. Magnetic particle testing method

Normally used to detect gas porosity .Only surface porosity would be evident.

Near surface porosity would not be clearly defined, since indications are neither

strong nor pronounced

115

5.3 Quality Control Inspection

Quality control emphasizes testing of products to uncover defects and reporting to

management who make the decision to allow or deny product release, whereas quality

assurance attempts to improve and stabilize production (and associated processes) to

avoid, or at least minimize, issues which led to the defect(s) in the first place.

Inspection

An inspection is, most generally, an organized examination or formal evaluation

exercise. In engineering activities inspection involves the measurements, tests,

and gauges applied to certain characteristics in regard to an object or activity. The

results are usually compared to specified requirements and standards for determining

whether the item or activity is in line with these targets, often with a Standard

Inspection Procedure in place to ensure consistent checking. Inspections are usually

non-destructive.

Inspections may be a visual inspection or involve sensing technologies such

as ultrasonic testing, accomplished with a direct physical presence or remotely such as

a remote visual inspection, and manually or automatically such as an automated

optical inspection.

5.3.1 Inspection tool mostly used are: Inside micrometer

Outside micrometer

Venire caliper

Bevel protector etc

Page 130: Final Report pdf

116

(a) VERNIER CALIPER

Figure5. 6 VERNIER CALIPER:

The Vernier Caliper is a precision instrument that can be used to measure internal and

external diameters extremely accurately.

Measurements are interpreted from the scale by the user. This is more difficult than

using a digital vernier caliper which has an LCD digital display on which the reading

appears.

The manual version has both an imperial and metric scale.

Manually operated vernier calipers can still be bought and remain popular because

they are much cheaper than the digital version.

Also, the digital version requires a small battery whereas the manual version does not

need any power source

Page 131: Final Report pdf

117

(b) MICROMETER:

Figure5. 7 MICROMETER

A Micrometer is a precision measuring instrument, used by Engineers. The

Micrometer is capable of measuring one millionth of a meter i.e. 0.001 mm.

In Micrometer each revolution of the Rachet moves the spindle face 0.05 mm towards

the anvil face.

The object to be measured is placed between the anvil face and the spindle face.

The rachet is turned clockwise until the object is trapped between these two surfaces

and the rachet makes a clicking noise.

This means that the rachet cannot be tighten anymore and the measurement can be

5.4 ISO 9001

As an ISO 9001 certified organization you will have implemented Quality

Management System requirements for all areas of the business, including:

Facilities

People

Training

Services

Equipment

5.4.1 Benefits of ISO 9001

ISO 9001 Certification will provide maximum benefit to your organization if it

approaches ISO 9001 implementation in a practical way. This will ensure that the

Quality Management Systems that are adopted work to improve the business and are

not just a set of procedures that your employees will find hard to manage.

By adopting an approach that starts out to implement more efficient working practices

and focuses on the business objectives of the organization, you will achieve a system

that will help and support your staff, and improve your levels of customer satisfaction.

Whether you use an external assessor or allocate an internal resource to carry out the

initial assessments, you will need to ensure that they have buy-in from senior

management, so that all areas of the organization are aware of the importance of

the ISO 9001 Certification process.

ISO 9001 Certification is not just suitable for large organizations but also small

businesses that will benefit from adopting efficient Quality Management Systems that

Page 133: Final Report pdf

119

will save time and cost, improve efficiency and ultimately improve customer

relationships.

5.4.2 Some of the benefits to your organization:

Provides senior management with an efficient management process

Sets out areas of responsibility across the organization

Mandatory if you want to tender for some public sector work

Communicates a positive message to staff and customers

Identifies and encourages more efficient and time saving processes

Highlights deficiencies

Reduces your costs

Provides continuous assessment and improvement

Marketing opportunities

5.4.3 Some of the benefits to your customers:

Improved quality and service

Delivery on time

Right first time attitude

Fewer returned products and complaints

Independent audit demonstrates commitment to quality

5.4.4 ISO 9001 Assessment Process The ISO 9001 standard covers every part of your business management systems. It is

therefore vital to appoint an assessor who has the experience to implement ISO 9001

certification across all areas of your organization.

Page 134: Final Report pdf

120

The assessor can be appointed internally from senior management with the relevant

authority and expertise, or externally from an accredited certification body. The

reality is usually a combination of both.

This will give you the most effective quality management system that will work for

your business. It will provide a system that can be constantly monitored and improved

upon by your internal team. In addition, an external assessor will bring in expertise

and best practice from a wider industry perspective. This will help to ensure that when

the audit is done, your management systems comply with the requirements of

ISO9001.

ACS Registrars have UKAS Accreditation, so before you start contact us to find out

more.

5.4.5 Other things you will need to consider

Gain support from employees throughout the organization

Allow 3 to 6 months to achieve certification

Gather information on current systems

Compare and improve current systems in line with ISO 9001 requirements

Develop and review your quality manual and ensure it meets the

requirements of ISO 9001

Identify non compliance areas

Set up a monitoring schedule

Page 135: Final Report pdf

121

Review any training requirements for employees

Do a company management review and internal audits

Set a date for your first audit

5.4.6 ISO 9001 Regular Auditing Procedure

Once you have successfully negotiated your first audit, it is important to continue to

monitor the process and improve your systems.

Annual surveillance visits need to be arranged; this will help to ensure that the re-

certification audit carried out every 3 years is a formality rather than a major process

overhaul.

5.4.7 During the audit you will be assessed on:

Documentation control

Records being kept

Staff and management conformance to the system

How the system is working in each area of the organization

Staff training necessary to meet the requirements

Page 136: Final Report pdf

122

Recommendations

I would like to give some recommendations to improve the quality of work and

save time along the health of the workers because during our visit i observed that

the workers are not playing with their own lives which are a great loss of man power.

To eradicate it we recommend following things:

Safety should be made necessary for each and every one especially for

the fabrication shop

There should be check and balance of these safety steps

Trained labor must have junior or fresh labor because in the future they can

take their seats.

Environment should be made clean and healthy by planting plants and keeping

the surface clean

To increase the rate of work the repeated jobs should be given to that person

who had worked on it but this should be made necessary for that person that

he will convey his knowledge to his subordinates.
