1 ABOUT COMPANY
1.1 About history of Larsen and Toubro limited
What began in 1938 with two Danish engineers and a dream is today India’s largest multi–
dimensional engineering and Construction Company.
In 1938, Henning Holck Larsen and Soren K. Toubro set up a partnership in a small office in
downtown Mumbai (then Bombay). The company began as a representative of Danish
manufacturers of dairy and allied equipment’s.
A year later, when World War II broke out, the fledging Company’s genius for innovation
came to the floor. It began to make the products it used to import.
In 1945, L&T appointed dealer of Caterpillar, the American earthmoving machinery giant.
In 1946, the firm became a limited company, and soon a nationwide network of office was
set up. The wheels of growth, which would propel the company to its position of distinction,
had been set into motion, and long before mission statements became industry buzzwords,
L&T had set out a charter for itself, the company would meet the needs of India’s emerging
core sector. Side by side, the business philosophy laid emphasis on customer service.
‘In Service Life Success’ was enshrined as a corporate motto. L&T steadily climbed the list
of the top 200 Indian companies – from 72 in 1966 to 25 in 1973. By then, it had developed
a vast repertoire of skills and a reputation for high quality goods and services.
Over the years, this partnership firm started growing, driven by the vision of its founders. It
converted into a private limited company in 1946 and later acquired the status of a ‘limited’

Description:
Magnetic particle inspection is one of the simple, fast and traditional non-
destructive testing methods widely used because of its convenience and low cost.
This method uses magnetic fields and small magnetic particles, such as iron filings
to detect flaws in components. The only requirement from an inspect ability
standpoint is that the component being inspected must be made of a ferromagnetic
material such iron, nickel, cobalt, or some of their alloys, since these materials are
materials that can be magnetized to a level that will allow the inspection to be
effective. On the other hand, an enormous volume of structural steels used in
engineering is magnetic.
Procedure:
In this experiment, commercially available magnetic powder manufactured for NDT
inspection will be used. A strong U shape magnet will be used to provide the
necessary magnetic field at the inspected area. The following steps are applied
during the experiment; 1. The surface of the specimen will be roughly cleaned
wiping with a piece of textile. 2. The fluorescent magnetic spray will be applied on
the surface being inspected. 3. Magnetic field will be applied with a strong magnet
to the location of interest. 4. The spots where the fluorescent magnetic particles
accumulated will be inspected under UV light.
Definition:
Liquid penetrant testing is a nondestructive material examination procedure used to
check for deficiencies such as cracks by spreading a thin liquid dye onto the
material's surface, followed by the application of a developer
Description:
In this method the surfaces to be inspected should be free from any coatings, paint,
grease. dirt, dust, etc., therefore, should be cleaned with an appropriate way. Special
care should be taken not to give additional damage to the surface to be inspected
during the cleaning process Surface cleaning can be performed with alcohol. Special
chemicals like cleaner-remover can also be applied if needed. Subsequent to surface
cleaning, the surface is let to dry for 2 minutes.
Procedure:
Steps used in the experiment:
1. Clean the surface with alcohol and let surface dry for 5 min.
2. Apply the liquid penetrant spray (red can) to the surface and brush for,
further penetration. Then, wait for 20 min.
3. Wipe the surface with a clean textile and subsequently apply remover spray (blue
can) to remove excess residues on the surface and wait for a few min.
4. Apply the developer spray (yellow can). The developer will absorb the penetrant
that infiltrated to the surface features such as cracks, splits, etc., and then reacted
with it to form a geometric shape which is the negative of the geometry of the
surface features from which the penetrant is sucked.
5. The polymerized material may be collected on a sticky paper for future evaluation
and related documentation, if needed.

Radiographic testing (or famously known as R.T.) is a process where
penetrating radiation beam passes through a test object. The transmitted
radiation is then collected by a form of sensor that is capable of measuring the
relative intensities of the penetrating radiations imposing upon it.
Description:
Radiography provides a permanent reference for the internal soundness of the
object that is radiographed. The x-ray emitted from a source has an ability to
penetrate metals as a function of the accelerating voltage in the x-ray emitting
tube. If a void present in the object being radiographed, more x-rays will pass in
that area and the film under the part in turn will have more exposure than in the
non-void areas. The sensitivity of x-rays is nominally 2% of the materials
thickness. Thus for a piece of steel with a 25mm thickness, the smallest void
that could be detected would be 0.5mm in dimension. For this reason, parts are
often radiographed in different planes. A thin crack does not show up unless the
x-rays ran parallel to the plane 0 the crack. Gamma radiography is identical to
x-ray radiography in function. The difference is the source of the penetrating
electromagnetic radiation which is a radioactive material such m Co 60.
However this method is less popular because of the hazards of handling
radioactive materials.
Definition:
Ultrasonic testing or in short UT refers to a variety of non-destructive testing (NDT)
techniques that use ultrasonic waves to pass through a substance or object.
Ultrasonic waves are high-frequency waves that are passed through different
substances to find flaws or detecting variations in them.
Procedure:
Steps used in the experiment:
1. The couplant should be applied on the inspected area.
2. For the circular test specimen, the prop will be placed in the corresponding space
Gujarat Technological Univesity Page 39
Project ID-206006
in the supporting fitting tool. Enough couplant should be used between the probe
and tool. For the flat specimen, no tool is needed, couplant only applied between
the inspected surface and the probe.
3. Special attention should be paid on the location where possible cracks exist.
4. A discontinuity like a crack produces a peak on the screen.
5. Attention should also be given to the movement of the possible peak caused by
the cracks on the specimen.
Definition:
Impact testing is also known as ASTM E23. The impact test is a method for
evaluating the toughness, impact strength and notch sensitivity of engineering
materials. Engineers test the ability of a material to withstand impact to predict its
behavior under actual conditions.
Procedure:
3. The hammer is released from the initial height downward towards the sample.
2. Measure the diameter of the steel rod. Take at least 3 readings and calculate the
mean.
3. Now place the test specimen in the bending table specimen should be kept in the
bending table in such a way that the plane

6. Start the machine and start applying load continuously and uniformly
throughout the bending.
7. As the load is applied on the rod it will start bending. Discontinue the application of load
when the range of bend specified in the material specimen has been achieved before

8. Take out the specimen and examine the tension surface of the tension surface of
the specimen for cracking.
10.. Nesting
Nesting refers to the process of laying out cutting patterns to minimize the raw
material waste. Examples include manufacturing parts from flat raw material
such as sheet metal.
Such efforts can also be applied to additive manufacturing, such as 3D printing.
Here the advantages which can include minimizing tool movement that is not
producing product, or maximizing how many pieces can be fabricated in one build
session. One difference from nesting of cut pieces is that 3D parts often have a cross
section that changes with height, which can cause interference between adjacent
parts as they are built up.
10.1PROCESS
To minimize the amount of scrap raw material produced during cutting; companies
use nesting software. The software analyses the parts (shapes) to be produced at a
particular time. Using algorithms, it then determines how to lay these parts out in
such a way as to produce the required quantities of parts, while minimizing the
amount of raw material wasted.
Off-the-shelf nesting software packages address the optimization needs. While some
cater only to rectangular nesting, others offer profile or shape nesting where the
parts required can be any odd shape.
These irregular parts can be created using popular computer-aided design (CAD)
tools. Most of the profile nesting software can read IGES or DXF profile files
automatically, a few of them work with built-in converters. An important
consideration in shape nesting is to verify that the software in question actually
performs true profile nesting and not just block nesting.
In block nesting an imaginary rectangle is drawn around the shape and then the
rectangles are laid side-by side which actually is not profile nesting. There remains
scope for waste reduction.
10.2 Considerations
Nesting software must take into account the limitations and features of the
machining technology in use, such as:
10.2.1 Machining cannot take place where the raw material is clamped into place;
10.2.2 Some machines can access only half of the material at a particular time;
the machine automatically flips the sheet over to allow the remaining half to be
accessed;
10.2.3 When punching, the width of the punch tool must be considered;
10.2.4 Shearing may be permitted only in certain areas of the sheet due to limitations
of the machinery;
10.2.5 Nesting software may also have to take into account material characteristics,
such as
10.2.6 Defects on material that must be discarded;
10.2.7 Different quality areas that must match corresponding quality levels required
for different parts;
10.2.8 Direction constraints, that may come from a printed pattern or from
fiber direction;
10.2.9 Many machine manufacturers offer their own custom nesting software designed
to offer ease of use and take full advantage of the features of their specific machines.
LASER CUTTING
WATERJET CUTTING
GAS CUTTING
● DESCRIPTION
Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to vaporize materials, resulting in a
cut edge. While typically used for industrial manufacturing applications, it is now
used by schools, small businesses, architecture, and hobbyists. Laser cutting works
by directing the output of a high-power laser most commonly through optics. The
laser optics and CNC (Computer numerical control) are used to direct the material
or the laser beam generated. A commercial laser for cutting materials uses a motion
control system to follow a CNC or G-code of the pattern to be cut onto the
material. The focused laser beam is directed at the material, which then either
melts, burns, vaporizes away, or is blown away by a jet of gas, leaving an edge
with a high-quality surface finish.
Process
Generation of the laser beam involves stimulating a lasing material by
electrical discharges or lamps within a closed container. As the lasing
Gujarat Technological Univesity Page 45
Project ID-206006
In order to be able to start cutting from somewhere other than the edge, a pierce
is done before every cut. Piercing usually involves a high-power pulsed laser
beam which slowly makes a hole in the material.
Advantages of laser cutting over mechanical cutting include easier Work holding
and reduced contamination of work piece (since there is no cutting edge which can
become contaminated by the material or contaminate the material). Precision may
be better, since the laser beam does not wear during the process. There is also a
reduced chance of warping the material that is being cut, as laser systems have a
small heat-affected zone. Some materials are also very difficult or impossible to
cut by more traditional means.
11.1.1 Method
11.1.2 Vaporization cutting
In vaporization cutting the focused beam heats the surface of the material to flashpoint point
and generates a keyhole. The keyhole leads to a sudden increase in absorptivity quickly
deepening the hole. As the hole deepens and the material boils, vapor generated erodes the
molten walls blowing eject out and further enlarging the hole. Non melting material such as
wood, carbon and thermoset plastics are usually cut by this method.
Reactive cutting
Also called "burning stabilized laser gas cutting", "flame cutting". Reactive cutting is like
oxygen torch cutting but with a laser beam as the ignition source. Mostly used for cutting
carbon steel in thicknesses over 1 mm. This process can be used to cut very thick steel plates
with relatively little laser power.
Cutting with a water jet is a method of engineering for cutting objects using the
energy from high speed, high density, ultra-high-pressure water. The water is
pressurized to a maximum 392 MPa (approximately 4,000 atmospheres) and
projected from a small-bore nozzle (Φ0.1 mm).
Water that has been pressurized by an ultrahigh-pressure pump reaches a speed
approximately three times the speed of sound, producing a water jet with destructive
force.
Its applications are widespread, with some of its more familiar uses including
cutting roof materials, dashboards and bumpers for automobiles. Cutting and
demolition of concrete structures. It is also used in cutting aircraft fuselages that use
new materials.
11.2.1 Operation
All waterjets follow the same principle of using high pressure water focused into a
beam by a nozzle. Most machines accomplish this by first running the water through
a high-pressure pump. There are two types of pumps used to create this high
pressure; an intensifier pump and a direct drive or crankshaft pump. A direct drive
pump works much like a car engine, forcing water through high pressure tubing
using plungers attached to a crankshaft. An intensifier pump creates pressure by
using hydraulic oil to move a piston forcing the water through a tiny hole. The water
then travels along the high-pressure tubing to the nozzle of the waterjet. In the
nozzle, the water is focused into a thin beam by a jewel orifice. This beam of water
is ejected from the nozzle, cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of
speed on the order of Mach 3, around 2,500 ft/s (760 m/s). The process is the same
for abrasive waterjets until the water reaches the nozzle. Here abrasives such as
garnet and aluminum oxide, are fed into the nozzle via an abrasive inlet. The
abrasive then mixes with the water in a mixing tube and is forced out the end at high
pressure.
11.2.2 PROCESS
There are six main process characteristics to water jet cutting:
Uses a high velocity stream of ultra-high-pressure water 30,000–90,000 psi (210–
620 MPa) which is produced by a high-pressure pump with possible abrasive
particles suspended in the stream.
Is used for machining a large array of materials, including heat-sensitive, delicate or
very hard materials.
Produces no heat damage to workpiece surface or edges.
Nozzles are typically made of sintered boride or composite tungsten carbide.
Produces a taper of less than 1 degree on most cuts, which can be reduced or
eliminated entirely by slowing down the cut process or tilting the jet.
Distance of nozzle from workpiece affects the size of the kerf and the removal rate
of material. Typical distance is .125 in (3.2 mm).
Temperature is not as much of a factor.
11.3.1 Process
Basically, a mixture of oxygen and the fuel gas is used to preheat the metal to its
'ignition' temperature which, for steel, is 700°C - 900°C (bright red heat) but well
below its melting point. A jet of pure oxygen is then directed into the preheated area
instigating a vigorous exothermic chemical reaction between the oxygen and the
metal to form iron oxide or slag. The oxygen jet blows away the slag enabling the
jet to pierce through the material and continue to cut through the material.
11.3.2 Conditions
The ignition temperature of the material must be lower than its melting point
otherwise the material would melt and flow away before cutting could take place
the oxide melting point must be lower than that of the surrounding material so that it
can be mechanically blown away by the oxygen jet
the oxidation reaction between the oxygen jet and the metal must be sufficient to
maintain the ignition temperature
a minimum of gaseous reaction products should be produced so as not to dilute the

cutting oxygen
As stainless steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals form refractory oxides i.e.,
the oxide melting point is higher than the material, powder must be injected into
the flame to form a low melting point, fluid slag.

13. Welding
MIG KUKA
TIG CLOOS
Arc welding
Spot welding
Aim-To provide delegates with the necessary skills, knowledge and safe working
practices to enable them to produce a range of welded joints in mild steel using the
metal inert gas shielded welding process.
● Procedure:
Position welding, that is, welding vertical or overhead joints, may require the use of a
weaving technique to assure proper weld deposition and penetration. In position
welding, gravity tends to cause molten metal to run out of the puddle, resulting in
cratering and undercutting, two conditions that produce a weak weld. Weaving
constantly moves the fusion zone around so as to limit the amount of metal deposited at
any one point. Surface tension then assists in keeping the molten metal in the puddle
until it is able to solidify. Development of position welding skill takes some experience,
but is usually soon mastered.
MIG/MAG is widely used in most industry sectors and accounts for more than 50% of
all weld metal deposited. Compared to MMA, MIG/MAG has the advantage in terms of
flexibility, deposition rates and suitability for mechanization. However, it should be
noted that while MIG/MAG is ideal for 'squirting' metal, a high degree of manipulative
skill is demanded of the MIG welder.
Aim- Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding uses the heat generated by an electric arc
struck between a non-consumable tungsten electrode and the workpiece to fuse
metal in the joint area and produce a molten weld pool. The arc area is shrouded in
an inert or reducing gas shield to protect the weld pool and the non-consumable
electrode.
Procedure-
Manual gas tungsten arc welding is a relatively difficult welding method, due to the
coordination required by the welder. Similar to torch welding, GTAW normally
requires two hands, since most applications require that the welder manually feed a
filler metal into the weld area with one hand while manipulating the welding torch
in the other. Maintaining a short arc length, while preventing contact between the
electrode and the workpiece, is also important.
Once the arc is struck, the welder moves the torch in a small circle to create a
welding pool, the size of which depends on the size of the electrode and the amount
of current. While maintaining a constant separation between the electrode and the
workpiece, the operator then moves the torch back slightly and tilts it backward
about 10–15 degrees from vertical. Filler metal is added manually to the front end of
the weld pool as it is needed.
Welders often develop a technique of rapidly alternating between moving the torch
forward (to advance the weld pool) and adding filler metal. The filler rod is
withdrawn from the weld pool each time the electrode advances, but it is always
kept inside the gas shield to prevent oxidation of its surface and contamination of
the weld. Filler rods composed of metals with a low melting temperature, such as
aluminum, require that the operator maintain some distance from the arc while
staying inside the gas shield. If held too close to the arc, the filler rod can melt
before it makes contact with the weld puddle. As the weld nears completion, the arc
current is often gradually reduced to allow the weld crater to solidify and prevent
the formation of crater cracks at the end of the weld.

Operation
Arc welding is a fusion welding process used to join metals. An electric arc from an
AC or DC power supply creates an intense heat of around 6500°F which melts the
metal at the join between two work pieces. The arc can be either manually or
mechanically guided along the line of the join, while the electrode either simply
carries the current or conducts the current and melts into the weld pool at the same
time to supply filler metal to the join.
Because the metals react chemically to oxygen and nitrogen in the air when heated
to high temperatures by the arc, a protective shielding gas or slag is used to
minimize the contact of the molten metal with the air. Once cooled, the molten
metals solidify to form a metallurgical bond.
Low cost. This is an affordable technique because the cost of equipment is low. It
also requires less equipment due to the lack of gas.
Portability. The materials in this technique are easy to transport.
Used on unclean metals. Arc welding can be performed on dirty metals.
Work in any environment. A lot of arc processes use shielding gas so work can only
be done in one place. With arc welding, there is no need for shielding gas so work
can happen regardless of weather conditions.
Advantages:
It provide higher deposition rate.
It is faster comparing to arc welding because it supply filler material continuously.
It produce clean weld with better quality.
There is no slag formation.
Minimize weld defects.
This welding produces very little slag.
It can be used to make deep groove weld.
It can be easily automated.
Disadvantages:
It cannot be used for welding in difficult to reach portions.
Higher initial or setup cost.
It cannot be used for outdoor work because wind can cause damage of gas shield.
It required high skilled labor.
Objective-
Spot welding (also known as resistance spot welding) is a resistance welding
process. This welding process is used primarily for welding two or more metal
sheets together by applying pressure and heat from an electric current to the weld
area.
Procedure
Spot welding involves three stages; the first of which involves the electrodes being
brought to the surface of the metal and applying a slight amount of pressure. The
current from the electrodes is then applied briefly after which the current is removed
but the electrodes remain in place for the material to cool. Weld times range from
0.01 sec to 0.63 sec depending on the thickness of the metal, the electrode force and
the diameter of the electrodes themselves. [citation needed]
The equipment used in the spot-welding process consists of tool holders and
electrodes. The tool holders function as a mechanism to hold the electrodes firmly in
place and also support optional water hoses that cool the electrodes during welding.
Tool holding methods include a paddle-type, light duty, universal, and regular
offset. The electrodes generally are made of a low resistance alloy, usually copper,
and are designed in many different shapes and sizes depending on the application
needed.
The two materials being welded together are known as the workpiece and must
conduct electricity. The width of the workpiece is limited by the throat length of the
welding apparatus and ranges typically from 5 to 50 inches (13 to 130 cm).
Workpiece thickness can range from 0.008 to 1.25 inches (0.20 to 32 mm.
After the current is removed from the workpiece, it is cooled via the coolant holes in
the center of the electrodes. Both water and a brine solution may be used as coolants
in spot welding mechanisms.
In the case of resistance spot welding, there are two main parts of the tooling
system, the features of which fundamentally influence the whole process: the gun
and its type, and the size and shape of the electrode. In such application, where the
gun layout should be as rigid as possible due to the high applying forces (e.g.
welding of thick materials), the C-type gun is widely used. As well as the high
Gujarat Technological Univesity Page 59
Project ID-206006
resulting rigidity, this arrangement leads to a high tooling flexibility, as the motion
of the electrodes is collinear. Unlike the C-type, the so-called X-type arrangement
provides less rigidity, although the reachable workspace is far larger than with the
C-type, thus this layout is very common, where thin and flat objects are being
processed (e.g. manufacturing of floor pan or roof panel). However, it offers less
flexibility in terms of tooling, because the paths of the moving electrodes are not
collinear (like the tips of a scissor), so a dome-shaped electrode tip should be used.
Electrodes used in spot welding can vary greatly with different applications. Each
tool style has a different purpose. Radius style electrodes are used for high heat
applications, electrodes with a truncated tip for high pressure, eccentric electrodes
for welding corners, offset eccentric tips for reaching into corners and small spaces,
and finally offset truncated for reaching into the workpiece itself.

Different thermocouple types utilize various metals for their positive and negative
wires. K-type thermocouples are nickel-based, and therefore also have good resistance
to corrosion. This makes them suitable for use in oxidizing atmospheres. K-type
thermocouples utilize Chromel, Nickel-Chromium (10% chromium) for the Positive
leg. The Negative leg is Alumel, Nickel-Aluminum (5% aluminum). The accuracy of a
K-type Thermocouple is typically a maximum of +/- 2.2°C or +/- 0.75%, whichever is
greater. However, there can be differences between different thermocouples, ven
coming from the same production batch due to deviations in the alloys. It is therefore
recommended that thermocouples undergo individual calibration.
K-type thermocouples are found in use for many industries such as water, chemical and
gas, and food industries. They are one of the more inexpensive thermocouples with
good resistance to oxidization, good linearity of measurement, and stability.
They’re generally employed in applications when the temperature is above 550°C and
the thermocouple’s maximum operating pressure is reached.
They are used in many industries like Steel & Iron to monitor temperature &
chemistry throughout the steelmaking process
Used for testing temperatures associated with process plants e.g.,
chemical production and petroleum refineries
Used for Testing heating appliance safety
Type K is commonly used in nuclear applications because of its relative radiation

hardness.
Type thermocouples are inexpensive, small, dependable, and have fast reaction times.
They can measure a wide range of temperatures from -270°C to 1,372°C with a small
degree of error. Typically, K-type thermocouples are used in temperatures above
540°C and in oxidizing atmospheres.
Stud Welding is an economical & fast method of welding studs. It can weld studs of
different diameters & shapes onto the parent material. Unlike other forms of joining
that require operations such as tapping and drilling, Stud Welding is done onto the
parent material without creating holes. The portability of stud welding machines, easy
operation, and cost-effectiveness are a few biggest reasons it is one of the widely
preferred welding options worldwide.

Drilling Machine is to make circular holes on the components with the help of Drill bits.
But, the purpose of the Radial Drilling Machine is used to drill the holes in the given
radial distance and this will be used, when the component size is large in terms of
height.
Gujarat Technological Univesity Page 70
Project ID-206006
When the component is large, it cannot fit its structure in the Machine vice. Therefore,
the component has to be placed on the ground and the Radial arm of the drilling
machine has to be rotated w.r.t the component to do the operation.
The Angle of a Drill bit is 118 Degrees.
When the power supply is given, the spindle rotates which was in conjunction with the
motor. The Radial arm is adjusted w.r.t the type of operation and height of the
workpiece. The spindle is connected to the chuck and the drill bit is placed in between
the jaws of the chuck. The Drill head is adjusted on to the workpiece and a suitable feed
is given. Then the drill bit drives into the workpiece very easily. Drive Mechanism:
Rack and Pinion Mechanism
When the hand wheel is rotated, then the Pinion which is attached to the rack also
rotates which can convert the rotary motion to the linear motion and the driving
mechanism is called as Rack and Pinion mechanism.
Base: It is made up of Cast Iron which possesses high compressive strength and good
wear resistance. The base is used to support the assembly of parts on it and also absorbs
the vibrations induced by the machine parts.
Column: It is exactly placed at one end of a bed which can act as a support for rotating
the radial arm in 360 degrees.
Radial Arm: It is the arm which is connected to Column. The Drill head is slided from
one end to another end by the guideways.
Motor: It is placed on the drill head for driving the work unit (Spindle of the Drill bit)
Table: The machine vice is connected to a swivel table which can hold the workpiece
for further operation.
Drive Head: It generally consists of two levers which by varying can increase or
decrease the speed of chuck.
Chuck: One end of the chuck is connected to the spindle arrangement and another end is
connected to the drill bit(tool).
Tool-Drill bit: The drill bit is used to drill the holes on the specimens.
16.2 DRILLING
Drilling operation removes the material from the inside of a workpiece. The result of
drilling is a hole with a diameter equal to the size of the utilized drill bit. Drill bits are
usually positioned either on a tailstock or a lathe tool holder.
16.3 REAMING
Reaming is a sizing operation that enlarges the hole in the workpiece. In reaming
operations, reamer enters the workpiece axially through the end and expands an existing
hole to the diameter of the tool. Reaming removes a minimal amount of material and is
often performed after drilling to obtain both a more accurate diameter and a smoother
internal finish.
17.1 Definition:
Sandblasting, where an abrasive is fed into a high air flow directed to a surface at a
pressure of a few bars, is a common method to clean or increase the surface roughness in
many industrial applications.
17.2 Description:
Sandblasting is process of smoothing and cleaning a hard surface by forcing solid particles
across that surface at high speeds using compressed air. There are two kinds of
sandblasters: “Suction” / “Siphon”” & “Pressure” Blast Systems. There are two basic kinds
of sand blasters: Blast Cabinets & Portable Blasters. Our project used the suction/siphon
system in a blast cabinet.
A sandblasting system includes four basic components: the air source, the sandblasting
cabinet, the dust collector, and the blasting media. The air source is usually bottle gas or an
air compressor. The sandblasting cabinet holds the object being blasted, while the dust
collector removes dust from the cabinet. The materials used in sandblasting, whether sand
or not, are referred to as blast media.
Procedure:
Sandblasting can remove paint, rust, and residue from oxidation from materials quickly and
efficiently. Sandblasting can also be used to change the condition of a metal’s surface, such
as through removing scratches or casting marks. Sandblasting as a cleaning method has
been widely used for over a hundred years.
Materials Used, Pros and Cons Sandblasting is also known as abrasive blasting. Basically,
it is the operation of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface.
The
sandblasting operation is done under high pressure to smooth a rough surface, roughen a
smooth/Shape the surface to remove its contaminants. There are several variants of
sandblasting process like bead blasting, Soda blasting and shot blasting. Before
sandblasting, it is mandatory to know about its materials and the pros and cons. If your job
profile is related to sandblasting or you owned a company that involved in the same
process, you need to stay with us. In this article, we will discuss sand blasting machines
materials and its pros and cons. But before it, let me also clear some of the details of its
operation.
18. COATING
Definition:
A coating is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, usually referred to as the
substrate. The purpose of applying the coating may be decorative, functional, or both.
Functional coatings may be applied to change the surface properties of the substrate, such
as adhesion, wettability, corrosion resistance, or wear resistance. In other cases, e.g.,
semiconductor device fabrication (where the substrate is a wafer), the coating adds a
completely new property, such as a magnetic response or electrical conductivity, and forms
an essential part of the finished product.
A major consideration for most coating processes is that the coating is to be applied at a
controlled thickness, and a number of different processes are in use to achieve this control,
ranging from a simple brush for painting a wall, to some very expensive machinery
applying coatings in the electronics industry. A further consideration for ‘non-all-over’
coatings is that control is needed as to where the coating is to be applied. A number of these
non-all-over coating processes are printing processes.
Many industrial coating processes involve the application of a thin film of functional
material to a substrate, such as paper, fabric, film, foil, or sheet stock. If the substrate starts
and ends the process wound up in a roll, the process may be termed “roll-to-roll” or “web-
based” coating. A roll of substrate, when wound through the coating machine, is typically
called a web.
FIG 18 COATING
19. PAINTING
Painting is defined as the process of applying paint, or another medium, to a solid surface
– usually a canvas. Paints or other forms of color are commonly applied to using a
paintbrush.
19.1 Description:
Painting is the act or process of using paint. The paint can create an artwork known as
a painting, or it can be used more practically as a protective coating or form of
decoration. Paintings are a form of visual art that captures the expression of ideas and
emotions on a two-dimensional surface.
19.2 Procedure:
Instructions
Use a wire brush to remove any loose or flaking paint and as much surface rust as
possible. If a handheld wire brush is ineffective, consider using a wire brush attachment
for your drill for highly degraded surfaces. If the rust has penetrated deep into the
surface, soak the object in an appropriate rust remover and follow all steps as specified
by the manufacturer. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth to clean any dust, debris, or
rust that’s leftover. Remove remaining grease by wiping the metal with a shop rag
dipped in acetone. Allow the acetone to dry.
If the metal doesn’t have paint on it or it’s smooth, take a scuffing pad and rub it along
the metal. These pads will lightly etch the surface of the metal, which will allow the
primer to stick more effectively.
If you couldn’t get rid of all the rust in the previous step, coat the metal with a zinc
chromate primer that’s formulated for coating rust. After you have coated the area with
this special primer, then apply a coat of self-etching primer. This primer should be
specifically designated for metal, including a self-etching component. Read the label to
verify that metals are an intended surface. The last consideration for primer is to be sure
the primer is compatible with the paint you want to use since a primer can be either oil-
Gujarat Technological Univesity Page 78
Project ID-206006
based or water-based.
Closely follow the instructions on the primer label since they have different drying and
cure times. If the metal is going outdoors, consider adding a second layer of primer to
help prolong metal oxidation.
4. Apply Paint
If you’re debating whether to use spray paint or a paintbrush, the easiest way to paint
metal is to use a can of spray paint. It is faster, but it does not create as hard of a finish.
Mix the paint according to the manufacturer’s specifications. If the paint feels too thick,
it might need to be cut with some mineral spirits.
Once the paint is a desirable consistency, use a high-quality natural bristle brush to paint
on a thin layer.
The metal needs to cure for 36 to 48 hours before moving it. Ensure the object is in an
area that won’t be affected by extreme temperatures or direct sunlight when drying.

Practicing safe stacking and racking avoids serious injuries caused by stockpile
collapses or by retrieving materials from improperly collected stacks. Safe stacking
reduces injury and fire risks, enhancing the efficiency of site paths of traffic.
Prioritize the use of machines, tools, and equipment to reduce manual and stacking of
materials.
While material is being lowered by machine, keep hands clear of load and use other
means (e.g., taglines or rigid poles) to direct materials.
Wear appropriate work gloves and safety boots when manually moving and stacking
sharp edges, burrs, splinters, or heavy loads.
Only stack material in designated areas. Never stack near doorways, access ways or fire
escape routes.
Never make stacks higher than 3 times the minimum base width, or angle of the repose,
which is lower.
Step back material as you stack to promote stability and always stack on a level surface.
Load the stack with consideration of the order in which the materials will be unloaded.
Stage materials close to work area to reduce amount of handling.
Bricks, Blocks and Palletized Material
Always try and ensure base of stack is level.
Ensure upper pack is loaded squarely on to a lower one.
If banding or packing is damaged, or materials are shifting or leaking out, do not stack
other materials on top.
Leave sufficient aisle way space between pallets, bales, etc. for safe removal.
Store pallets laying down flat Pipes and Tubes Where pipes are small in diameter, stack
in racks.
If large in diameter, securely chock, or secure, against rolling.
Don’t stack loosely or unsecured in pyramids as they can become unstable.

24. CONCLUSION
After the internship was over I have learned about heat treatment process of parts of
Pinaka launcher and the main thing I have learned from internship is that they have
given me a task to reduce transportation cost of mobility of underframe structure
that is a part of Pinaka launcher and the problem was that only one underframe can
be load on a trailer and to load another underframe was not possible so that is when
I gave a solution about “stacking of underframe structure “ and that is to put another
underframe on each other with the help of wooden block in between so that the floor
space area required is less and the trailer can now load three underframe structures
at a time so the transportation cost is reduced and also learned knowledge of various
cutting operations and nondestructive testing methods .
