MACHINERYS :

WELDING :
Welding is a fabrication process whereby two or more parts are
fused together by means of heat, pressure or both forming a join as
the parts cool. Welding is usually used on metals and
thermoplastics but can also be used on wood. The
completed welded joint may be referred to as a weldment.

Some materials require the use of specific processes and

techniques. A number are considered 'unweldable,' a term not
usually found in dictionaries but useful and descriptive in
engineering.

The parts that are joined are known as a parent material. The
material added to help form the join is
called filler or consumable. The form of these materials may
see them referred to as parent plate or pipe, filler wire,
consumable electrode (for arc welding), etc.
WEEKLY OVERVIEW OF INTERSHIP ACTIVITIES
INTERNSHIP
How Does Welding Work?
Joining Metals

As opposed to brazing and soldering, which do not melt the base metal, welding is a
high heat process which melts the base material. Typically with the addition of a filler
material.

Heat at a high temperature causes a weld pool of molten material which cools to
form the join, which can be stronger than the parent metal. Pressure can also be
used to produce a weld, either alongside the heat or by itself.

It can also use a shielding gas to protect the melted and filler metals from becoming
contaminated or oxidised.

Joining Plastics

Plastics welding also uses heat to join the materials (although not in the case of
solvent welding) and is achieved in three stages.

Firstly, the surfaces are prepared before heat and pressure is applied and, finally,
the materials are allowed to cool to create fusion. Joining methods for plastics can
be separated into external or internal heating methods, depending on the exact
process used.

Joining Wood

Wood welding uses heat generated from friction to join the materials. The materials
to be joined are subjected to a great deal of pressure before a linear friction
movement creates heat to bond the workpieces together.

This is a fast process which allows wood to be joined without adhesives or nails in a
matter of seconds.

Common Joint Configurations

Butt Joint

A connection between the ends or edges of two parts making an angle to one
another of 135-180° inclusive in the region of the joint.

T Joint
WEEKLY OVERVIEW OF INTERSHIP ACTIVITIES
INTERNSHIP

A connection between the end or edge of one part and the face of the other part, the
parts making an angle to one another of more than 5 up to and including 90° in the
region of the joint.

Corner Joint

A connection between the ends or edges of two parts making an angle to one
another of more than 30 but less than 135° in the region of the joint.

Edge Joint

A connection between the edges of two parts making an angle to one another of 0 to
30° inclusive in the region of the joint.

Cruciform Joint

A connection in which two flat plates or two bars are welded to another flat plate at
right angles and on the same axis.

Lap Joint
WEEKLY OVERVIEW OF INTERSHIP ACTIVITIES
INTERNSHIP

A connection between two overlapping parts making an angle to one another of 0-5°
inclusive in the region of the weld or welds.

Energy Sources
Different processes are determined by the energy source used, with a variety of
different techniques available.

Until the end of the 19th century, forge welding was the only method used, but later
processes, such as arc welding, have since been developed. Modern methods use
gas flame, electric arc, lasers, electron beam, friction and even ultrasound to join
materials.

Care needs to be taken with these processes as they can lead to burns, electric
shock, damaged vision, exposure to radiation or inhaling of poisonous welding fumes
and gases.

What are the Different Types of Welding and What

are They Used for?
There are a variety of different welding process types with their own techniques and
applications for industry, these include:

1. Arc

This category includes a number of common manual, semi-automatic and automatic

processes. These include metal inert gas (MIG) welding, stick welding, tungsten inert
gas (TIG) welding also know as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), gas
welding, metal active gas (MAG) welding, flux cored arc welding (FCAW), gas metal
arc welding (GMAW), submerged arc welding (SAW), shielded metal arc welding
(SMAW) and plasma arc welding.

These techniques usually use a filler material and are primarily used for joining
metals including stainless steel, aluminium, nickel and copper alloys, cobalt and
titanium. Arc welding processes are widely used across industries such as oil and
gas, power, aerospace, automotive, and more.

2. Friction
WEEKLY OVERVIEW OF INTERSHIP ACTIVITIES
INTERNSHIP
Friction welding techniques join materials using mechanical friction. This can be
performed in a variety of ways on different welding materials including steel,
aluminium or even wood.

The mechanical friction generates heat which softens the materials which mix to
create a bond as they cool. The manner in which the joining occurs is dependant on
the exact process used, for example, friction stir welding (FSW), friction stir spot
welding (FSSW), linear friction welding (LFW) and rotary friction welding (RFW).

Friction welding doesn't require the use of filler metals, flux or shielding gas.

Friction is frequently used in aerospace applications as it is ideal for joining

otherwise 'non-weldable' light-weight aluminium alloys.

Friction processes are used across industry and are also being explored as a
method to bond wood without the use of adhesives or nails.

CUTTING MACHINE :

An Introduction to Metal Cutting Circular Saw

What Is a Metal Cutting Circular Saw

Machine?

A metal cutting circular saw machine is designed to shear various metals

at a high speed with the toothed cold blade. Also known as cold saw
WEEKLY OVERVIEW OF INTERSHIP ACTIVITIES
INTERNSHIP
machine, the metal cutting circular saw allows both the saw blade and the
raw materials being cut to remain cool during the operations. To achieve
that, the saw blade conveys the generated heat to the metal chips, which
are formed during the high-speed metal cutting process.

In the high-speed cold sawing process, the metal materials are released in
the cutting motion by the blade teeth as the feeding system rotates the
saw forward to the workpieces. The advantages of the metal-cutting
circular saw machine include the elimination of burrs during the sawing
process and also the reduction of sparks, discoloration as well as
hazardous dust.

Basic Structure of a Metal Cutting

Circular Saw

Metal cutting circular saw machine consists of a circular saw blade, electric
motor, and gear system. The electric motor, AC vector drive, and gears
allow the saw machine to reduce and control the turning rate of the
circular saw blade. At the same time, keeping a consistently high torque
during the high-speed metal cutting process.

When it comes to the circular saw blade used in the metal cutting circular
saw, the blade is generally constructed from solid high-speed steels (HSS),
some of them are tungsten carbide-tipped, making the saw blade
powerful and reliable. The circular saw blades should be sharpened
regularly to ensure the high-performance cutting at a consistently high
speed, offering high loads of chips per blade tooth.

The workpieces being cut in the metal cutting circular saws are clamped
firmly, preventing any movement affecting the cold saw cutting motion.
WEEKLY OVERVIEW OF INTERSHIP ACTIVITIES
INTERNSHIP
When selecting the right metal-cutting circular saw machine for your jobs,
it is important to understand the type of the saw blades as well as the
number of the blade teeth, and also the variable speed of the feeding and
cutting system. More features of saw blades of metal-cutting circular saws
will be discussed later.

Why Do You Need a Metal Cutting Circular

Saw Machine?
The metal-cutting circular saw machines are reliable and flexible in usage,
which is available for both ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. This means that
the cold saw machine can be used to shear the metal with high carbon
content like the ferrous metals including steels, cast irons, and wrought
irons and also the non-ferrous materials like aluminum, copper, lead, tin,
zinc, and so on.

In addition to versatility, the metal cutting circular saw machine, which has
the coolant system can ensure the high-performance cold sawing process
with the consistent cooling process for the blade teeth. The energy and
the heat are therefore transferred to the metal chips, lengthening the tool
life and intervals of maintenance. The lubrication in the system can
eliminate the discoloration and sparks while cold sawing, offering high-
quality cut and metal products.

In contrast, some abrasive sawing blades may cause potential binding

issues or excessive heat through friction during the metal cutting process
in abrasive saws. This not only increases the cost and effort to complete
the sawing operations but also increases the wear and energy
consumption significantly. The lower cost, efficiency and reliability of the
metal cutting circular saw machine make the models popular for mass
production applications.

DRILLING MACHINE :

A drilling machine is designed to cut precise cylindrical holes in just

about any material. There are many different types of drilling
machines available on the market. From handheld drills to multi-
head turret drilling machines, each type has its own set of
advantages, disadvantages, and ideal-use cases.

This article will describe the different parts of a drilling machine,

the different types of machines available, and the specific uses of
these machines.
What Is a Drilling Machine?

A drilling machine is a power tool that is used to create cylindrical

holes in a workpiece. The tool bit is rotated at high speed and
pressed into the workpiece to create a cylindrical hole that passes
either partway (blind hole) or all the way through (through hole) the
part. A drilling machine's speed is adjustable, and the feed rate into
the workpiece can be either manually or automatically. Drilling
machines can be mounted directly to a concrete floor, to a work
table, or can even be portable. Figure 1 below is an example of an
industrial drilling machine:
WEEKLY OVERVIEW OF INTERSHIP ACTIVITIES
INTERNSHIP

What Are the Uses of a Drilling Machine?

A drilling machine is a tool used for drilling holes in various

materials, such as metal, ceramic wood, or plastic. It can be either
portable or stationary. A drilling machine is very versatile and can
be used to make a variety of hole types and geometries as listed
below:

1. Drilling: The most common use of a drilling machine is making

either blind or through holes in a workpiece.
2. Reaming: Used to finish an already-drilled hole, improving both its
dimensional accuracy and its surface finish.
3. Countersinking: After a hole is drilled it may be necessary to create
a countersink in the workpiece. A countersunk hole has a conical
cutout to accommodate the head of a fastener that must be flush
with or lower than the surface of a finished part.
4. Tapping: Once a hole has been drilled, it may need to be threaded
to accept a threaded fastener like a screw or bolt. A tap can be
attached to the machine and used to cut internal threads.
WEEKLY OVERVIEW OF INTERSHIP ACTIVITIES
INTERNSHIP
5. Boring: A drilling machine can be used to increase the diameter of
an existing hole through the process of boring.
6. Counterboring: A counterboring tool is used to create a shallow,
enlarged cylindrical cutout so that a fastener's head will fit flush
with or below the work surface

How Does a Drilling Machine Work?

A drilling machine works by rapidly rotating a tool bit and lowering

it into the desired area at a predefined tool speed and feed rate to
create cylindrical holes in a workpiece. The workpiece must be
securely held in place on the drill table during drilling operations
using vises and clamps. Most drilling machines are oriented with
the drill in the vertical position, however, some specialized drills are
designed to drill horizontally. This orientation typically allows for
the drilling of deep holes in long parts where a vertical arrangement
would be impractical. If drilling in a different orientation is required
the part will have to be re-position. The machine speed is adjustable
for different cutting tools or materials being used.

What Are the Parts of a Drilling Machine?

A drilling machine has several key components that work in tandem

to drill precise, consistent holes. The main parts of a drilling
machine are listed below:

1. Base

The base of the drilling machine supports the machine and can
either be fixed to a workshop floor or mounted to a work table in the
WEEKLY OVERVIEW OF INTERSHIP ACTIVITIES
INTERNSHIP
case of smaller machines. Some bases have slots to allow for
bolting and holding larger workpieces that cannot fit on the table.

2. Column

The column is usually a hollow, cylindrical structure that connects

the base, table, and head of a drilling machine. The column also
serves as a linear slide on which the table moves up and down. The
table clamps onto the column once positioned as desired.

3. Arm

On larger drilling machines the arm is attached to the column and is

used to support the spindle and drill chuck. The arm also allows for
some travel in a direction perpendicular to the column. Smaller
machines do not have an arm and instead, have the spindle
positioned relatively close to the column on the head assembly.

4. Drill Head

The drill head contains the spindle, feed mechanism, and drill
chuck. The spindle is usually driven by an electric motor via a
gearbox. For larger machines with arms, the electric motor’s power
can be transmitted via a series of V-belts and pulleys.

5. Worktable

The table provides a stable surface for the workpiece. It can be

raised or lowered to adjust the drill bit's distance from the
workpiece. The table also has T-slots or holes to facilitate clamping
of the workpiece. A sensitive drill has a much smaller worktable
when compared to a gang drill, for example. A sensitive drilling
machine worktable is not designed for heavy loads whereas a gang
drills worktable is.

6. Feed Mechanism
WEEKLY OVERVIEW OF INTERSHIP ACTIVITIES
INTERNSHIP
The feed mechanism is designed to control the rate at which the
drill is lowered into the material. The optimal feed rate and the
speed of the drill bit are determined by the type of material being
drilled and the size of the drill bit.

7. Spindle

The spindle is a shaft assembly with bearings that connects the

electric motor to the chuck. Spindles are designed to have as little
rotational eccentricity as possible to ensure drilled holes are
concentric.

8. Chuck

The chuck is a mechanism used to grip the tool tightly enough to

stop the tool from slipping during drilling operations. A drill chuck
typically has three jaws whose position can be adjusted to account
for different drill bit diameters. When adjusted, these jaws move
either radially inwards or outwards to account for different
diameters.

9. Electric Motor

The electric motor drives the spindle either directly with a gearbox
or with a series of belts and pulleys. The electric motor can either
be mounted to the base of the machine or at the top of the column.
Like the feed rate, the rotational speed can be adjusted for different
drill bits and materials. Drills that allow for tapping also need to
have very low minimum speeds on the electric motor. In this case, a
VSD (Variable Speed Drive) is installed.
