Name of the Organization: JSW Steel Limited

Project Name: Design of Automatic Billet Cutting Machine.

Introduction

Jsw Group is one of the fastest growing business conglomerates having diversified interest in

steel, Energy, Minerals and mining. The company has received cerificates of ISO: 9001 for

Quality Management System, ISO: 14001 for Environmental Management System and OHSAS:

18001 for Occupational Health and Safety Management. In this career episode, i have tried to

illustrate the understanding of the automatic billet cutting machine. As a part of the requirements

for the degree of final year bachelor in mechanical engineering, the final year project was

submitted. The main objective of the project was to automate the cutting of billet face.

1.1

I got chance to join JSW steel limited at final year BE (Mechanical). I was in my final year when

i got chance to complete my project in JSW steel limited. I had already completed the course of 3

years when i joined for the project. The academic syllabus for Sonacollege of technology in first

year includes basics of calculus and matrix, engineering physics, engineering graphics and

disciplined of engineering. Further, various aspects of the mechanical engineering was covered

in later years. Applied mechanics and design, fluid mechanics and thermal science etcs were

included. Manufacturing and industrial engineering helped to get theoritical knowledge for the

project “Design of automatic billet cutting machine”.

I joined JSW steel limited in 21st Jan, 2010. Initially i participated for designing the autimatic

billet cutting machine. The project was carried out in a group of the same department. The work

was carried out inside the company under the supervision of supervisors of JSW and further the

work was completed in the lab of department of Mechanical engineering, Sona College of

engineering.

1.2

The objective of the project was to automate the cutting of the billet face. The cutting of the

damaged front face of billet was done mannuallyin the company. So, our responsibility was to

Page 8: €¦  · Web viewCarrer Goal:I am a Mining and Mechanical Engineering Graduate looking forward to build a long term career in the mining or mechanical related industries with opportunities

design automated cutter. Our project become successful to replace mannual cutting process by

automated cutter.

1.3

The detail of the particular project will be provided below. The group of four members were

involved in the project and the project was completed. Our tasks were to install the automated

cutting system that consists of a motor, gear box, electromagnetic clutch, counter weight, torch

setup and gas lines.

1.4 General Information of the Project

Jsw group has the facilities to produce Pig Iron, steel, billet and rolled stel products. In

manufacturing billets, the powder form of steel is converted to steel bar which is called as billet.

The billet has to pass through temperature around 1000ºc. The billet will contain the scales so

descaling has to be done. Billet is passed through the chamber where it is cooled. The face of the

billet will split due to sudden change in temperature. So, the face has to cut down. Mannual

process was adopted for the cutting of the face. The focus of the project was to replace the

mannual system to automated system.

The objective of the project were:

Identifying the problem of mannual cutting of billet face

Automate the cutting of the billet face

The figure below shows the ACAD drawing of the automated billetcutting system:

Page 9: €¦  · Web viewCarrer Goal:I am a Mining and Mechanical Engineering Graduate looking forward to build a long term career in the mining or mechanical related industries with opportunities

Figure 1 Automated Billet Cutting System

The lecturer of the college provided guidlines for designing of the project. So, it did not take

much time to design the project.

1.5

The depth study of the relevent catalogue and technical documents were done. I was fully

prepared to carry out the project. The activities were:

Prepared the list of materials required such as; shaft, clutch, motor, gearbox, fastners,

tourch holder, holders etc.

With the help of the supervisor, our group was ready to design the parts of automated

billet cutter in ACAD with proper dimentions and tolerences.

Dinesh Silwal, 26/08/15,
Please provide me good picture for this. I took it from your report. As you see the picture is not clear.
Page 10: €¦  · Web viewCarrer Goal:I am a Mining and Mechanical Engineering Graduate looking forward to build a long term career in the mining or mechanical related industries with opportunities

The design followed the concept of manufacturing and industrial engineering which provides the

necessary consideration in designing patterns, deformation criteria and fundamentals of cold

working and hot working process.

1.6

I always ensured that i acquired the knowledge of the technology that will be needed to manage

the project.

1.7

The ACAD drawing was drafted to show the overview of automated billet cutter with layout of

gas supply (Oxygen and LPG line)

1.8

The project was conducted in group with the help of project supervisor. The project was

demonstrated and the mannual system was replaced by automated system.

1.9

Books and mannuas related to the machine designed were refered to understand the universal

dimentions with tolerences of the parts such as nut/bolts, holders, shafts, etcs.

(testing)..........

After the project was completed, limitations of the automatic billet cutting machine were found

as:

Basic training is needed to operate the automated cutting system.

Investment in the automated cutting system can lead to unemployment

The project can not be used for cutting stainless steel and aluminum due to formation of an oxides as it uses oxy/fuel cutter.

1.10

Regular interaction with the project supervisor was done to optimize the use of the project in the

JSW steel limited.

Automated billet cutter is safe to use as it was designed to accertain as safe as possible. The

system could be placed on the chamber that will limit the exposure of the rays. So, the designe

was done to minimize the workplace hazard.

1.11

The installation of the automated cutting system reduces the production time of the billets. The

labour cost of the company was also saved. The mannual welding could be hazardious due to

exposure to the rays. The chances of the workplace accidents and hazards decreases.The whole

process of the cutting can be done inside the chamber as it is automated, that will reduce the

exposure of rays to environment.

1.12

The project also helped me to incorporate the cost effectivenes. The cost of the materials used

were calculated such as shaft, holder and coupling. Weight of the assembled system was

calculated just to analyze the material cost because those were manufactured in the lab.

However, motor, gearbox,clutch and gas lines cost high.

1.13

Since the project was conducted in group, proper coordination and communication skill were

crucial. The meetings were held before starting the project and after the day-off to be more clear

to the project.

1.14

The reference through the site was taken to ensure the proper alignment with the designing of the

project. Such as clearance needed to mount the shaft and gear box, couplings and more were

consulted through the site.

The design was done refering to the dimentions from the mannual. So, project met the highest

degree of accuracy and reliability.

1.15

The area of improvement of the project are:

Improving the design of nozzle and fuel gas will overcome the limitations The project was designed to minimize the risk of hazards but before starting the

system, assurance of safety of each tool is necessary.

1.16

The hazards and risk of project was analyzed. The code of practise of osh was followed while

working in the lab and in the company. Safety clothes were used while working for the project.

Career Episode - 2

Project Name: Design of forming setup for high strength low formability sheet

material

Introduction

This Career episode describes the indepth understanding of the design of forming setup for high

strength low formability sheet material. I completed this project in a group and my role was to

get involved in day to day activities related to the project.

2.1

The project was completed after the accomplishment of my 4 years bachelor degree in

Mechanical Engineering. The course of Graduation included the papers in mathematics, physics

and various aspects of mechanical engineering. Applied mechanics and design, fluid mechanics

and thermal science, manufacturing and industrial engineering helped to get theoritical

knowledge for the project.

2.2

The quality of the sheet metal forming process is the ability to produce the Variety of shapes

from flat sheet of metal at high rate of production. Deep drawing is one of the widely used sheet

metal working process.

When working for the design i learnt about the working principle of deep drawing process.

Drawing is a technological process during which a flat piece of sheet-metal material is

transformed into a hollow, three-dimensional object.

2.3

While working for the project in a group i got change to learn about the theoritical aspects of the

parameters involved in the drawing of sheet metal. The parameters are catagorized in the types as

material parameter and process parameter. Normal plastic anisotropy, plastic strain ration and

strain hardening are the material parameters. Process parameter includes radius of drawing punch

and die, clearance between punch and die, punch velocity etcs.

2.4

General information of the project

In general the common methods used for sheet metal forming is deep drawing process. In deep

drawing, a metal sheet is used to form cylindrical components by a process in which the central

portion of the sheet is pressed in to die opening to draw the metal into desired shape without

folding of the corners. There are numerous factors that influences sheet metal forming, such as

shape of the die, the properties of the material, the shape of the blank, the boundary conditions,

the friction and lubrication conditions. Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) was selected as the work

material.

The objectives of the project were:

Design and development of micro forming setup.

To determine the level where the empirical equations are changed from Meso to Micro

transition.

Optimization of process parameters to get better formability.

2.5

Problem Identification

The formability of the sheet metal changes due to influence of size effect and friction. The trend

of miniaturization creates the problem in using traditional forming process in micro forming

field.

2.6

Execution of Work

The drawability of the deep drawing process is determined by the limiting drawing ration. The

formability problems will take place if LDR crosses limit. Titanium alloy was the metal used. So

LDR value of Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) is obtained as 2.2

Page 17: €¦  · Web viewCarrer Goal:I am a Mining and Mechanical Engineering Graduate looking forward to build a long term career in the mining or mechanical related industries with opportunities

LDR = √{e^ (2fe^-n √1+r/2)} + {e^ (2n√(1+r/2) - 1

Where,

r = normal anisotropy

n = strain hardening exponent

f = drawing efficiency that accounts for process conditions

High degree of accuracy, clearance, parallelism and control was maintained in the project.

Precision die-making machines, high grade die materials, and precision presses were used to

achieve the long life.

Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) was selected as the work material and Simulations were conducted

using the explicit finite element code ABAQUS by varying the identified process parameters.The

results obtained from the simulation were:

For the constant size when the thickness decreases, Punch force also decreases.

When the thickness decreases, coefficient of friction between tooling increases due to

size effect.

If the ratio between punch diameters to thickness is less than 50, then formability will be

zero.

When range of corner radius is below 1/5 times of punch diameter, the formability will be

affected, between 1/3 to 1/4 times of punch diameter, there is no variation in the

formability.

Punch Force Control:

Punch force can be controlled by controlling torque of the motor. Torque can be controlled

through the use of the formula as:

Tw = μ*M*g* P/2π Nmm

Where,

Page 18: €¦  · Web viewCarrer Goal:I am a Mining and Mechanical Engineering Graduate looking forward to build a long term career in the mining or mechanical related industries with opportunities

Tw = Torque in mm

P = ball screw pitch mm

M = load mass in kg

Holder Force Control

Application of the proper force can control the holder force. For this, three pneumatic cylinders

was arranged at 120º.

Maximum punch load 29014 N

Holder force 1/3 (punch force) or 9671 N (for three cylinders)

Design of Pneumatic Cylinder:

Force (to be applied For Single cylinder) 3224N

Pressure (/ cylinder) 6bar

Area of the cylinder 180 mm2.

Diameter of the cylinder 15.1 mm

Type of cylinder Spring loaded single acting cylinder

Involving in the project “design of forming setup for high strength sheet material” helped me to

be familiar with the working principle of forming setup.

2.7

The project was conducted in a group and my contribution in the project were

I did the calculations of the LDR, maximum punch force and contributed to design

calculation of die.

The model was created in ABAQUES and i demonstrated the graph of maximum punch

load and trend of formability of Titanium alloy.

Page 19: €¦  · Web viewCarrer Goal:I am a Mining and Mechanical Engineering Graduate looking forward to build a long term career in the mining or mechanical related industries with opportunities

I was responsible for coordinating the team to control the work

2.8

Books and mannuals were refered to collect the informations regarding the project. I always

ensured that the specifications were met. The inspections and testing of the project were done

according to the technical specifications.

The limitations of the project were:

Tearing and excessive thining of the sheet metal are unwanted defect of the project.

The friction between the blankholder and die surface may create resistance in flow of the

materials into die.

2.9

The designing was done to cope the defect of the traditional forming process. So, the project was

helpful in micro forming setup.

2.10

Project was applicable to replace the traditional method. The design of the forming setup can be

used in the miniaturization. So, my project had the capability to contribute to the technology

anvancement.

2.11

The project is highly profitable when high volume of units are produced. Creation of tooling and

die will take time and after the die and tooling are created, process will take low time.

Construction of tool will cost lower. So, the deep drawing process is the cost effective solution

for the metal sheet forming process. Deep drawing process are most useful in creating 3D objects

taht minimizes the manufacturing cost and time.

2.12

Page 20: €¦  · Web viewCarrer Goal:I am a Mining and Mechanical Engineering Graduate looking forward to build a long term career in the mining or mechanical related industries with opportunities

With proper coordination, the designing was completed. Our work was able to satisfy the higher

level management team. We put effort to complete the project on time and we used to conduct

daily meeting.

2.13

One of the responsibilities of mine was to writ the daily task systematically. I calculated the

LDR, maximum punch force and contributed to design calculation of die. i was responsible for

drafting graph and model on ABAQUES.

Fig: Meshed Model

2.14

Area of Improvement

We did not focus deeply on the friction test of the blank shapes. So, improvement on the

accuracy is possible through study of punch load distribution and friction test of the blank

shapes.

2.15

I organized my time to ensure the completion of the project in time. I was able to organize my

personal duties and project parallely. The management of the time both in project and the

personal duties assures that i have the time management skill. Further, the documentation of all

work was done in the sheet and computer. I was able to complete my responsibility in time and

encourage others to perform their duties in time.

2.16

Being the part of the project helped me to understand the theory related to the metal sheet

forming process. Tolerences, clearances and many errors of the project was calculated that

Page 22: €¦  · Web viewCarrer Goal:I am a Mining and Mechanical Engineering Graduate looking forward to build a long term career in the mining or mechanical related industries with opportunities

helped me to be more focused to the manufacturing and production design. The project consisted

many limitations. We were unable to calculate the exact data for the friction test. So, furher study

was carried out to cover the areas of development.

Career Episode - 3

Project Name: Design of linkages and fabrication of Gear actuated through buttons.

Introduction

This carrer episode focuses on the designing of the alteranate method of switching gears in two

wheelers using hand. Though the various changes were brought in the automobile, the method of

switching gear remained unchanged. So, our group carried this project to think about the design

of the actuation of the linkage through buttons.

3.1

I completed this project as a part of my academic requirements in pre-final year as a group

member. The basic knowledges of the physics, machine designing and other desicipline of

engineering were taken as a part of the academic syllabus.

3.2

I was a part of the group work. So, we divided the task for each member and my responsibility

was to understand the theory related to the circuit diagram of switches that was designed to

provide in the right side of the handle bar.

3.3

The therotical aspect of the gear switching system in the two-wheeler was understood. We were

able to design the button system for switching the gear. The college department helped with the

procedure to be followed in designing. The books and mannuals were refered to know the circuit

diagram of the switching system.

3.4

General Knowledge

Dinesh Silwal, 26/08/15,
DurationName of OrganizationDesignationPlease
Page 24: €¦  · Web viewCarrer Goal:I am a Mining and Mechanical Engineering Graduate looking forward to build a long term career in the mining or mechanical related industries with opportunities

The aim of the project was to provide the alternative method of switching gears. Generally, the

gear could be operated through pressing the clutch pedal but the project provides the overview of

the switching gear through buttons rather than pressing by leg.

The objective of the project is to overlook the design the linkage and gear switching through

buttons.

3.5

First we studied the nature of the gear switching system in current two wheeler. By the study we

found that, automobile industry made significant improvement in parts of the two wheelers but

the gear switching system remained same. Our approach was to add the gear switching system in

the right had bar of the two wheeler so that gear could be changed through hand.

3.6

The project could be applicable for the physically challanged people as they can change gear

through their hand too. The system is only the alternative method. So, the user could make

choice to use the button for switching gear.

3.7

The components that will be used for the system are; links, gear box setup, clutch unit, fastners,

couplings and clamp plates as the mechanical components. The electronics components that were

used in the project were; DC stepper motor, micro controller, IC 89C51, IC 7805, battery, relays,

ULN 2003, Zener diode, Resistors and capacitors.

The links were designed in such a way that it will transmit power easily. The documentation of

the drafts and works were done to complete the design systematically.

Working Principle of Setup:

Three buttons were setup at the right handle of the two wheelers. After the clutch is engaged, the

button is pressed to provide the signal to the electronics component. The pre-written program

was coded in the IC that will receive signal and check it. The IC will produce the output and send

Page 25: €¦  · Web viewCarrer Goal:I am a Mining and Mechanical Engineering Graduate looking forward to build a long term career in the mining or mechanical related industries with opportunities

them to stepper motor. The motor shaft rotates to an angle of 1.8º for one pulse input. After the

shaft of motor rotates, the links start moving and will rotate the gear shaft correspondingly. In

this way the pressing of buttons will switch the gear according to the input code and signal

provided.

3.8

The project was completed in group. I made a contribution in the group work and my

responsibilities were;

Designing of the system

Coding the program for setup

Preparing Drawing with the help of ACAD and solid works

Execution of work under the supervision of the project supervisor.

Reporting the daily progress of the project to supervisor.

3.9

Limitations of the system were:

When neutral switch is pressed from higher level of gears,it takes time for the motor to

bring gears to neutral. Hence, clutch has to be pressed for few seconds.

The cost of this setup is a bit higher.

3.10

The setup is just the alternative method of swiching gear. The setup can be helpful for the

physically challanged people (without their left leg). Since, the gears can be actuated only after

the clutch is pressed, there is no risk of gears getting damaged. The setup is programmed in such

a way that the neutral switch can bring to neutral even from top gear level. It will take time so,

clutch has to press for few seconds.

3.11

The project was selected to enlight possibilities of gear switching system through hand pressing.

The automobile sector is developing the automated system in gear switching of 4 wheelers but

the system is not used in the two wheelers. So, we tried to evaluate the cost effectiveness and

benefit of using the setup in two wheelers.

Page 27: €¦  · Web viewCarrer Goal:I am a Mining and Mechanical Engineering Graduate looking forward to build a long term career in the mining or mechanical related industries with opportunities

3.12

The cost of the two wheeler will rise due to the setup but the project can benefit to the physically

disabled people (without left leg).

3.13

The project was completed in time with the effort of each group members. The coordination with

the group members was maintained by the group interaction and sharing feedback from the

project supervisor.

3.14

I did a lot of study by refering to the electronics components and programmimg. The course

book of the automobile engineering helped to get through the function of the automobile parts.

The documentation of designs was done using MS office. The design parameters and code of

conduct was referenced from the report “Model code of conduct-india”.

3.15

The project had limitations. When switching gear from top level to neutral, it took time due to

the drawback in the response of motor and linkage. The area of improvement of the project is to

minimize the switching time.

3.16

Before the execution of the project we need to take permission from the department and lab

supervisor. We had to do follow up work to complete the project as per the vehicle design code

of india. The modification of the two-wheeler can be done within the framwork of regulation

lists.

3.17

The project was completed by the group effort. We consulted professor of electronics department

to know the circuit diagram for the setup. I coded the program and my mistakes were corrected

by colleague. We updated the daily work to project supervisor. We proposed and defended the
