 SHEARING CUTTING
MACHINE
 On the shearing machine the plate to be
cut should be flat and the thickness
should not more than 18mm.
 For cutting the flat plate is kept on the
bed of the machine and moved
manually.
 The machine consist of a cutting blade &
number of pressing bolts.
 As the plate is moved inside the machine
the pressing bolts press the plate and
keep it rigidly fixed the downward
movement of the cutting blade cuts the
blade.
 WELDING
ARC WELDING :-

 Arc welding is a type

of welding that uses a welding
power supply to create
an electric arc between an
electrode and the base material
to melt the metals at the welding
point. They can use
either direct (DC)
or alternating (AC) current, and
consumable or non-consumable
electrodes.
 Template shop
There are two types of template area:-
1:-marking template.
2:-checking template.
 The manufacturing of template is done with the help of
design and drawing provided by RDSO LUCKNOW .
 Also the required allowance for different tools are
taken into consideration during marking template.
 The template here are usually made of mild steel.
 They are of small thickness about 2.5mm.
 If a minor fault can create a great fault in the
production.

Conclusion
Even though the scrap management in BWEL MUZAFFARPUR is fully
efficient and capable in itself, that it needs no more alterations. I think few
minor improvement in its functioning may slightly help in better
management of scrap.
Better communication link between the workshops and the scrap depot can
be developed for faster and efficient transportation of scrap. Computer at
workshop and the scrap depot should be linked through networking such
that there is no need of advice note and all formalities could be done on
computer only. This surely will result in faster scrap management.
