FORGING
Forging a metal shaping technique using compressive, localized forces, has been a
staple metal fabrication technique. Forging is most commonly performed with the use of
forging presses or hammering tools that are powered by electricity, compressed air.
Different products which are formed by the process of forging process are:
Crankshaft
Camshaft gears
Generator rotor
Bolts
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
WELDING
Welding is a materials joining process which produces coalescence of materials by heating them to
suitable temperatures with or without the application of pressure or by the application of pressure
alone, and with or without the use of filler material.
Applications of welding:
Railway wagons, machine frames, structural works, tanks, furniture, boilers, general repair work and
ship building.
PROCESS OF WELDING
Cleanup is usually necessary.
A replaceable electrode “stick” also serves the role of filler metal. An arc is created that
connects from the end of the stick to the base metals, melting the electrode into filler
metal and creating the weld.
The stick is coated in flux that creates a gas cloud when heated up and protects the
metal from oxidation.
Since it doesn’t require gas, this process can be used outdoors, even in adverse
weather such as rain and wind.
It also works well on rusted, painted, and dirty surfaces, making it great for equipment
repairs. Different types of electrodes are available and easy to swap, making it simple to
weld metals of many different kinds, though it’s not great for thin metals.
PROCESS:
Brazing joins parts by heating them to more than 840°F and applying a filler
metal that has a melting temperature below that of the base metal. Filler metal
flows into the joint by capillary attraction.
Normally, torch brazing is done with handheld oxyfuel gas torches using
various fuels. However, there are automated machines that use preplaced
fluxes as well as preplaced filler metal in paste, wire, or shim form. Torch and
machine brazing are generally used to make lap joints in sections from 0.01 to
0.25 in. thick. Joints can be brazed rapidly, but speed decreases as material
thickness increases.
CASTING
“Casting is a manufacturing process by which a liquid material is usually poured into a mold,
which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The
solidified part is also known as a casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mold to
complete the process”
MANUFACTURING PROCESS:
We will discuss the process of engine block:
The engine block is the metal housing containing the inner workings of an
internal combustion engine. It is of critical importance to the operation of
your engine. If the engine block cracks, your car should not be driven until it
is repaired or replaced.
Material
Engine blocks were traditionally made from cast iron, but in the interest of
better fuel mileage, lighter aluminum alloys have been introduced. The metal
is heated to 800 degrees C and then poured into a sand mold where it
hardens and sets.
Sand Casting
The sand molds used to cast engine metal can be used only once. Zircon
sand, glue and a hardener are mixed and shaped into sections. This is then
solidified with gas. The sections are glued together to form the entire mold
in which the engine block is cast.
