COMPANY PROFILE
1.1 INTRODUCTION TO HAL

Figure 1.1: Shri Walchand Hirachand[10]

The Company which had its origin as Hindustan Aircraft Limited was incorporated on 23
Dec 1940 at Bangalore by Shri Walchand Hirachand, a farsighted visionary, in association with
the then Government of Mysore, with the aim of manufacturing aircraft in India. In January 1951,
Hindustan Aircraft Limited was placed under the administrative control of Ministry of Defence,
Government of India. Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) came into existence on 1 st October
1964. The Company was formed by the merger of Hindustan Aircraft Limited with Aeronautics
India Limited and Aircraft Manufacturing Dept, Kanpur. The Company had built aircraft and
engines of foreign design under license, such as Prentice, Vampire & Gnat. It also undertook the
design and development of aircraft indigenously. In August 1951, the HT-2 Trainer aircraft,
designed and produced by the company under the able leadership of Dr. V.M.Ghatge flew for the
first time. Over 150 Trainers were manufactured and supplied to the Indian Air Force and other
customers. With the gradual building up of its design capability, the company successfully
designed and developed four other aircraft i.e. two seater 'Pushpak' suitable for flying clubs,
'Krishak' for Air Observatory Post (AOP) role, HF-24 Jet Fighter '(Marut)' and the HJT-16 Basic
Jet Trainer '(Kiran)'.Meanwhile, in August 1963, Aeronautics India Limited (AIL) was
incorporated as a Company wholly owned by the Government of India, to undertake manufacture
of MiG-21 aircraft under license. Factories were setup at Nasik (Maharashtra) & Koraput
(Odisha).In June 1964, the Aircraft Manufacturing Depot which was set up in 1960 at Kanpur as
an Air Force unit to produce the Airframe for the HS-748 transport aircraft was transferred to AIL.
Soon thereafter, the Government decided to amalgamate Hindustan Aircraft.

CHAPTER – 2
POWDER METALLURGY
Powder metallurgy is also used to make unique materials impossible to get from melting or
forming in other ways. Powder metallurgy is a metal-forming process performed by heating
compacted metal powders to just below their melting points. It consists of two units in HAL
ferrous & non- ferrous.

2.1 FERROUS METALLURGY


HAL powder metallurgy department consists of ferrous & non-ferrous department in which
ferrous department is the most active. Powder metallurgy is generally used in mass production
& is performed by mixing, die compaction & sintering of powdered particles through
application of temperature & pressure.

Figure 2.1: Brake Pads of aircraft[16]

● Fe based powder are used for jet engines

● Cu based powders are used for commercial planes

● Organic based powders are used for Turbopropeller (less energy dissipated)

Requirement for the brake pads production:

➢ Preparation of fine powders

In HAL work is done on Aircraft brake pads so we use metals like Fe, Al etc.

➢ Mixing & blending perfect ratio of binders (resign based on ferrous


powder metallurgy) & powders.
 Why is mixing & blending important?
To impart uniformity in the shapes of the powder particles. Which further provides a good
base for uniform diffusion during further processes.

Dept.of Electronics & Communication engineering 12 2022-23


FOUNDRY & FORGE DIVISION (HAL)

➢ Compacting/pressure sintering (pressure range- 30-240 kg/cm2)


In this process vertical pressure is applied from 400-700 MP a which results in the
desired shape of the brake pads.

Figure 2.2: Powder compacting hydraulic press[17] Figure 2.3: Drum used for blending[18]

➢ Sintering

This is the most important process which is done to produce a permanent bond between
the metal particles, the green compact is sintered or heated at high temperature .This is
done in H2 atmosphere

Figure 2.4: Furnace used for sintering[19]

Dept.of Electronics & Communication engineering 13 2022-23


FOUNDRY & FORGE DIVISION (HAL)

Why is it done in an H2 controlled environment?

• Industrial gases such as Hydrogen for furnace atmospheres are characterized by their high
purity (>99.9995%). This purity is typically adequate for many processes involving a wide
array of material.
• If we use O2 controlled environment it may result reacting the surface of the green
compact in furnace which may result in material loss i.e; fe2o3, feO & CuO etc.

What really happens in sintering which makes the green compact harder?

Figure 2.5: From the figure you can see the grain boundary fusing together in which
bindersmelt and bind the grains together increasing its strength & desired hardness.
This is done in the furnace in batches & soaking time is 3hrs at 1000℃ for brake pads
[20]

Advantages:

● Mass production of items can be done i.e. brake pads for aircrafts whose
lifeis 250 landings.
● Products made by powder metallurgy don't require further processing.
● Minimum or nearly no wastage of raw materials

● Wide combinations of metals-metals & ceramics etc are possible through


this process.

Disadvantages

● Only symmetrical shapes are possible, complex shapes are not possible.

● Small size i.e; upto 20 kg products are made.

● Mechanical properties are poor compared to cast or machined parts.

Dept.of Electronics & Communication engineering 14 2022-23


FOUNDRY & FORGE DIVISION (HAL)

Verification after production- In one batch 100 brake pads are produced & one of them is
tested.
1. Hardness Testing - This is used to test the required hardness for brake pads. Desired
hardness cannot occur due to error like errors in temperature sensor,
error in H2 controlled environment.
2. Optical Microscopy - This is basic microscopy testing the overall
microstructure at an easiness level.
3. Ultrasonic bond quality testing - In this the bond are tested byultrasonic testing

4. SEM & EDS

5. Dynamometer Testing - this testing is done as in break pads coefficient of friction is


required between 0.5- 0.15

CHAPTER – 3
NON FERROUS FOUNDRY
Non-ferrous metal foundries are foundries that deal with non-ferrous metals ( metals
that do not contain Iron or Steel). They melt and pour molten metals into mould to create a
specific desired geometry. After the liquid has cooled, it is removed from the mould. The
result is a non–ferrous metal casting. In HAL, Aluminium Foundry is carried out by sand
casting technique. Al-Si and Al-Cu alloys are produced by casting. Aluminium castings are
used to make complex and detailed parts very easily.
Mould Section
Sand Moulds are produced in an automated way in a foundry.

● The Filtered beach sand is mixed with binder and catalyst and is fed in a Wesman
Binding Machine(8 or 25 ton capacity).
● Mixed sand is loaded and compacted into a mould box containing a patternfor casting.
Now the other half of the mould box is made in the same fashion by rotating the mould
box by 180o.
Melting Section
Here preparation of required alloys takes place. Oil fired and gas fired furnaces are used.

● Aluminium has a tendency to dissolve gases like hydrogen. For removing such gases
Rotary Degasser is used.
● In the case of magnesium, it is highly flammable so it must be used as a molten
metal. Fluxes like Sulphur, chlorides or fluorides are used.
● After melting tests like optical emission spectroscopy is performed to ensure the
presence of required components in desired quantity in alloy.

Figure 3.1: Aluminium Poured into mould[22]

FOUNDRY & FORGE DIVISION (HAL)

CHAPTER – 4
PRECISION FOUNDRY
This is done by automated investment casting in which primary layers are coated
manually (high viscosity depends on the size of the cup) & rest of them are fully- automated
by robotic arm. HAL can produce very precise structures like engine blades, precise gas
turbine engine injector.
In this shop nearly 30 Alloys are used producing 300 varieties of components. major
buyers are GE, Hamiloton, Meggitt, DRDO etc.
Casted elements of alloys- Al, Ni, Al-Si, Al-Mg, Al-Cu-Mg, A356 (6.5-7.5% - Si,0.25 -
0.45% - Mg), A57G06 (Mg - 0.45 - 0.7%).

Figure 4.1: Turbine blade manufactured by it[23] Figure 4.2: Robotic arm doing coating[24]

When nail polish is applied as paint coating it provides small thickness between two
coatings and evaporates to further provide extra thickness for expansion at high
temperature preventing cracking.
Testing
1. Radioactivity

2. Mechanical testing

3. Magnetic particle

4. Crack testing

Coatings Steels, Ni - 6 coats Al - 5 coats

1. Primary slurry - Thermally stabilized Zr material -Smooth surface - high temperature


material.
2. Backup Coat – Fused silica colloidal solution.
3. Coating of sand & repeating them further coating speed depends on temp as well.

Dept.of Electronics & Communication engineering 18 2022-23


FOUNDRY & FORGE DIVISION (HAL)

Figure 4.3: Si phase diagram[25]

As we can see molten alloy is at 650- 1000 ℃ when it is poured in silica phase change
occurs from alpha-beta or liquid and crack occurs automatically in moulds which make it easy
to remove i.e. we don't need hammering and removing the mould.

Figure 4.4: Preheating before metal pouring[26]

Some wax which is trapped even after melting the wax. These moulds are thus left out
to cool and the trapped wax becomes to condense at the interior and exterior of the mould
surface which we need to remove by heating it once before being ready.

All alloys have the tendency to react with the atmosphere which results in H2 defects to
avoid it. 20 years ago hydroxychloro ethane environment was used but due to environmental
concerns and health concerns due to fumes production it was dropped. HAL guys then shifted
to Argon gas but due to its very cost it was dropped and was replaced by N2 gas.
