thick

7 What is fusion weldingThe metal at the joint is heated to a molten state and

then it is allowed to solidify Pressure is not applied

during the welding process

(Eg) Gas Arc welding

8 What is the minimum distance maintained between

successive spot welding and whybull The acceptable minimum distance is 16 times to that

of thickness of metal to be welded

bull If the minimum distance not maintained then shunt

current will flow through the already welded spot

and reduces the quality of welding 9 Write short notes on transferred and non-transferred

arc in plasma arc welding

Non-transferred arc process The arc is formed

between the electrode(-) and the water cooled

constricting nozzle(+) Arc plasma comes out of the

nozzle as a flame

Transferred arc process The arc is formed between

the electrode(-) and the work piece(+) In other words

arc is transferred from the electrode to the work piece

11 Explain piercing operationIt is a process by which a hole is cut (or torn) in metal It is

different from punching in that piercing does not generate a

slug Instead the metal is pushed back to form a jagged

flange on the back side of the hole A pierced hole looks

somewhat like a bullet hole in a sheet of metal

12 Why it is necessary to provide proper clearance

between the punch and die in a shearing operationIt allows fracture to meet when break occurs It depends on

type of material Thickness of material Hardness of material

and type of operation

13 Advantage of hydro forming techniqueDeeper draws are obtained compared to other methods It is

due to the pressure around the rubber membrane forces thecup against the punch

5 What is the function of tungsten in TIG weldingFunctions

bull Uses a non-consumable tungsten electrodeduring the welding process

bull Uses a number of shielding gases including

helium (He) and argon (Ar)

bull Is easily applied to thin materials

bull Produces very high-quality superior welds

bull Welds can be made with or without filler metalbull Provides precise control of welding variables

(ie heat)

bull Welding yields low distortion

bull Leaves no slag or splatter

6 What are the specific situation where electro slag

welding is used

bull low carbon steel plates andor sections that are very

thick

7 What is fusion weldingThe metal at the joint is heated to a molten state and

then it is allowed to solidify Pressure is not applied

during the welding process

(Eg) Gas Arc welding

8 What is the minimum distance maintained between

successive spot welding and whybull The acceptable minimum distance is 16 times to that

of thickness of metal to be welded

bull If the minimum distance not maintained then shunt

current will flow through the already welded spot

and reduces the quality of welding 9 Write short notes on transferred and non-transferred

arc in plasma arc welding

Non-transferred arc process The arc is formed

between the electrode(-) and the water cooled

constricting nozzle(+) Arc plasma comes out of the

nozzle as a flame

Transferred arc process The arc is formed between

the electrode(-) and the work piece(+) In other words

arc is transferred from the electrode to the work piece

10 Write down the types of flamesi Neutral Flame

ii Oxidizing Flame-

iii Carburizing flame-

11 What is meant by carburizing flame And its

applicationA flame that contains more acetylene than oxygen This

flame will burn at a lower temperature than the other

flames and can add extra carbon to certain welds

9 Define the term formability

The capability of sheet metal to be deformed into desiredshape is called formability

10 What do you mean by minimum bend radiusWhile bending outer surface in tension and inner surface is

in compression The minimum radius to which the material

can be bent known as minimum bend radius

11 Explain piercing operationIt is a process by which a hole is cut (or torn) in metal It is

different from punching in that piercing does not generate a

slug Instead the metal is pushed back to form a jagged

flange on the back side of the hole A pierced hole looks

somewhat like a bullet hole in a sheet of metal

12 Why it is necessary to provide proper clearance

between the punch and die in a shearing operationIt allows fracture to meet when break occurs It depends on

type of material Thickness of material Hardness of material

and type of operation

13 Advantage of hydro forming techniqueDeeper draws are obtained compared to other methods It is

due to the pressure around the rubber membrane forces thecup against the punch

14 What is limiting drawing ratioThe volume of material removed from the work per unit

volume of wear is known as drawing ratio

15 Define embossing

This is a process of making raised or projected design

on the surface of the metal with its corresponding relief

metalsA shearing operation that cuts an interior section of the

metal without removing the section A lancing operatioleaves an opened metal tab

Notching- A shearing operation that removes a section

from the outer edge of the metal strip or part

Perforating is a piercing operation that involves

punching a large number of closely spaced holes

Fine blanking is a specialized form of blanking where

there is no fracture zone when shearing This is

achieved by compressing the whole part and then an

upper and lower punch extract the blankThis allows th

process to hold very tight tolerances and perhaps

eliminate secondary operations

5 What is super plastic forming operationVery fine grains are obtained within certain temperature

ranges amp at low strain rates These alloys can be formed into

complex shapes by super plastic forming Zinc Aluminum

and Titanium has super plastic behavior

6 What are the advantages of rubber pad forming

process

7 List any four components manufactured using

drawing methodWires Tubes to make hydraulic systems and to get

rectangular hexagonal and square shapes

8 What are the common explosives used in explosive

forming method

9 Define the term formability

The capability of sheet metal to be deformed into desiredshape is called formability

10 What do you mean by minimum bend radiusWhile bending outer surface in tension and inner surface is

in compression The minimum radius to which the material

can be bent known as minimum bend radius

11 Explain piercing operationIt is a process by which a hole is cut (or torn) in metal It is

different from punching in that piercing does not generate a

slug Instead the metal is pushed back to form a jagged

flange on the back side of the hole A pierced hole looks

somewhat like a bullet hole in a sheet of metal

12 Why it is necessary to provide proper clearance

between the punch and die in a shearing operationIt allows fracture to meet when break occurs It depends on

type of material Thickness of material Hardness of material

and type of operation

13 Advantage of hydro forming techniqueDeeper draws are obtained compared to other methods It is

due to the pressure around the rubber membrane forces thecup against the punch

14 What is limiting drawing ratioThe volume of material removed from the work per unit

volume of wear is known as drawing ratio

15 Define embossing

This is a process of making raised or projected design

on the surface of the metal with its corresponding relief

on other side

Combination of drawing and bending

16 What is lancing operation that is done on sheet

metalsA shearing operation that cuts an interior section of the

metal without removing the section A lancing operatioleaves an opened metal tab

Notching- A shearing operation that removes a section

from the outer edge of the metal strip or part

Perforating is a piercing operation that involves

punching a large number of closely spaced holes

Fine blanking is a specialized form of blanking where

there is no fracture zone when shearing This is

achieved by compressing the whole part and then an

upper and lower punch extract the blankThis allows th

process to hold very tight tolerances and perhaps

eliminate secondary operations
