VARIOUS SHOPS

2.1 DIE SHOP (D/S)

SIFL designs both single and multi-impression dies. SIFL uses CAD/CAM facilities for die
design and developments. This helps SIFI. To grow quickly a premier steel forgings unit, capable
of producing highly complex and precision closed die forgings with close dimensional
tolerances. Numerous machine tools are employed at SIFL for developing the dies. The
commonly used machines are conventional lathes, milling machines, drilling machines, coping
machines. Templates are prepared for every die designs to check the impressions for dimensional
tolerances. For a job it may require to make several blockers and finishers and the die shop is
entitled to prepare all these. Material used for making die is a special grade of steel DIN2714.
SIFL cuts the required angles for the dovetail for holding it in the hammer, It also bores the holes
for 16T, 10T & 61 hammers.

Major machines used in die shop

• JONFORD CNC Milling machine

• BFW CNC Milling machine

• YONEDA CNC Milling machine

• SBCNC CNC Lathe machine

• BECO L, BECO 2 Heavy duty lathes

• HMT Radial drilling machine

• SHARADA Planer machine

• Vertical Milling machine

2.1.1 Die components

• Die block-Main part where all other parts are attached to

• Punch plate – Holds and support different punches

• Blank punch-Along with blank die produces blanked part

• Pierce punch-Along with pierce die removes parts from blanked finished part

• Stripper plate – Hold material down on the blank or pierce and strip the materials

7
 • The punches

• Pilot-Helps to place the sheet accurately for next stage of operation

• Guide, back gauge or finger stop-Used to make sure that material being worked

• On always goes in same position within the die as the last one

setting or stop block-Used to control depth that the punch goes into the die Shank-Used to
hold in the presses, aligned and situated at the center of gravity of Plate.

DIE MATRIALS

The exact material used. Make a forging die is dependent upon all the details of that particular
forging process. In general a forging die must be tough, possess high strength and hardness at
elevated temperatures, good shock resistance, resistance to thermal gradients, hardenability and
ability to withstand abrasive wear, During the manufacture of a hot forged part the mold is
usually preheated before the operation begins. Preheating die reduces thermal cycling that can
cause cracks in the die. Forging die are hardened and tempered. Mold dimensions must account
for shrinkage of the work, as well as extra material allowances for the finishing of the part.

The abrasive wear present in hot forging operations is due largely to the scale on the work
piece. Much of the scale can be removed from the blank immediately after heating in the
furnace, prior to the forging of the part. Adequate lubrication can also greatly mitigate wear.
Sometimes a mould may be assembled using different sections. These sections, called die
inserts are manufactured separately and may be of different materials. Complex cavities can be
produced easier with die inserts; also different sections of the mould can be individually
replaced.

2.2FORGE SHOP (F/S)

Forging shop can be said as the core department of SIFL. It is from here that the required shape
of the job is produced. Forging shop currently employs three hammers of capacities 6 ton, 10 ton
& 16 ton. The dies are fixed on the hammer with keys and locks. The upper die is fixed on the
Moveable part i.e. piston of the hammer and the lower die is fixed on the stationary vice. The
steel and aluminum billets are first to the red hot condition in an oil furnace whereas titanium
Billet is heated in an electric furnace and then placed on the die with the help of tongs. The
Hammer is dropped from a height on to the work piece several times until the required shape is
achieved. Mechanism used for lifting and. Dropping hammer is pneumatic valve mechanism. 61
hammer uses two valves and 10T hammer uses a single valve mechanism. After drop forging the
flash of the job are removed by presses. Two presses are used at SIFL of capacities 500 ton,
1000 ton and 1200 ton. The forging temperature required for Aluminum is 400°C to 450°C, for
Titanium 1050°C to 1100°C.

Types of forgings

Open die forging Also known as smith forging. In open-die forging, hammer strikes and deform the
work piece, which is placed on a stationary anvil. Open-die forging gets its name from the fact that
the dies (the surfaces that are in contact with the work piece) do not enclose the work piece, allowing
it to flow except where contacted by the dies. Therefore the operator needs to orient and position the
work piece to get the desired shape. The dies are usually flat in shape, but some have a specially
shaped surface for specialized operations
Closed die forging Also known as impression-die forging, the metal is placed in a e resembling a
mould, which attached to the anvil, Usually the hammer die is shaped as well. The hammer is then
dropped on the work piece, causing the metal to and fill the die cavities. The hammer is generally
9
in contact with the work piece on the scale of milliseconds. Depending on the size and complexity
of the Part hammer may be dropped multiple times in quick succession. Excess metal is squeezed
out of the die cavities, forming what are referred to as flash. The flash cools more rapidly than the
rest of the material; this cool metal is stronger than the metal in the die so it helps prevent more
flash from forming. This also forces the metal to completely fill the die cavity. After forging the
flash is removed, their annual capacity is around 7500 Metric Tons. They manufacture closed die
forgings in the weight range of 5 kg to 450 kg and open die forgings within 1kg to 75 kg net weight
per piece and ring rolling up to 650mm OD. The company has got the capability to manufacture
forgings out of Carbon steels, Alloy steels, Stainless steels, Managing steels, Aluminum alloys,
Titanium alloys etc.

2.3 MTP
The bulk materials are cut in to the required size is done in this shop. The materials are mainly in
the form of long bats and long rods. The mostly used materials in SIFL are Titanium, Steel,
Aluminum and Stateless steel. The machine used for the cutting is band saw machine. There are
2 types of band saw machines used. Single column type and double column type. The single
column type machine used for cutting one piece at a time. The double column type machine is
for cutting 2 pieces at same time. This comes under the forging department. The crane is used for
loading the bars and rods to the machine.

2.4 HEAT TREATMENT/ HEAT TREATMENT LAB

The heat treatment system with its charging machine is one oldie latest and best available in the
country. The facilities include oil fired, electrical confirms and bogie hearth furnaces muffle
furnaces etc. to carry out annealing, normalizing, hardening, tempering, isothermal annealing etc. or
any other operations as specified by the Customers. There are about 10 furnaces in the HT
department. Charging machine is used to load the jobs into the furnaces and it has movement in
many axes. Quenching facilities available at the heat treatment shop are oil quenching, water
quenching and air quenching. QA department carry out the hardness testing process for each and
every job and if any corrections are required. They suggest there treatments as necessary.

Heat treatment operations

Quenching: It is the rapid cooling of a work piece to obtain certain material properties. It prevents
low- temperature processes, such as phase transformations, from occurring by only providing a
narrow window of time in which the reaction is. Both thermodynamically favorable and kinetically
accessible.
Annealing: It is a heat treatment wherein a material is altered, causing changes in its properties
such as hardness and ductility. It is a process that produces conditions by heating to above the
critical temperature, maintaining a suitable temperature, and then cooling Annealing is used to
induceductility, soften material, relieve internal stresses, refine the structure by making it
homogeneous, and improve cold working properties.
Tempering: Tempering is the process of reheating the steel leading to precipitation and
sheroidisation of the carbides. The tempering temperature and time are generally controlled to
affect the final properties required of the steel. The benefits resulting are the increase in the metal
toughness and elongation. The negative effects are the reduction of the marten site (BCT)

11
structure and the progression towards a spheroidal carbide + ferrite matrix structure.
Normalizing: Normalizing involves heating the steel to about 40° C above its upper critical limit.
The steel is then held at this temperature for a period of time and is then cooled in air. It is desirable
that the temperature of the steel shall be maintained for a time period more than 2 minutes per mm
of section thickness and shall not exceed the upper critical temperature by more than 50” C. The
structure produced by this process is pearlite or pearlite in a ferrite matrix or pearlite in a cementite
matrix. Because the steel is cooled in air the process results in a fine pearlite formation with
improved mechanical properties compared to the full annealing process.
HT lab consists of three different laboratories Mechanical lab, Micro lah, and Chemical lab.
Mechanical lab Here the following machines are employed for determining hardness,
toughness, strength and for final polishing and finishing of the material.
~ Universal Testing machine
~ Impact testing machine
~ Rockwell hardness machine
~ Polishing machine
~ Finishing machine
Micro lab – Here microstructure of the finished product is determined and checked whether it
meets client requirements. For that two machines are used.
Microstructure machine and spectrometer. Chemical lab – Here final product is allowed to react
with various chemicals so that various properties of the material can be analyzed and corrective
steps can be taken before final delivery to the customer.

2.5 FINISHING AND DESPATCH

Finishing and Dispatch department is responsible for finishing the job and reaching it to the
customer in the demanded condition. Smaller finishing operations like coarse and fine grinding
is carried out at SIFI. Plant in Athani and for higher finishing operations requiring high grades of
finish are either machined at the SIFI. Machining unit in Shoranur or outsourced to external
agencies. Punching operations as demanded by the customer are also performed at SIFL.
Finished products are finally dispatched to the customer on their scheduled time. After detailed
quality inspection, a shot blasting process will be carried Out. It provides final colour to the
product. For Aluminum yellow colour is given for steel red oxide or black colour is given, it is
done by blasting the product with steel balls. Final products are then sent to stores department
for dispatching.

12
 2.6 QUALITY ASSURANCE (QA)
QA is one of the most important departments of SIFL. After each stage of production QA is
responsible for checking the quality of every single job. The customer may have certain demands
for a job in terms of its hardness, Strength, finish and it is the duty of QA department to ensure
this. QA uses many state- of-the-art techniques for ensuring quality like equip hardness tester,
spectrography etc..
Methods used
Ultrasonic testing The product is tested with sound wave emission and the amount of waves
coming back is indicating that some non-conformities are present The problem is that it cannot be
performed on every material. The austenitic material is difficult to test as well as the grey (flake)
and malleable irons. The other problem is that the operator is reading the result on the screen and
that there is no proof for later discussion in the fonts of a paper or file. The advantage is that the
equipment is not expensive and the tests can be done everywhere. The second advantage is that the
location of the non-conformance is easy to state (with simple calculations). The method can also be
used for structure and graphite morphology testing using the value of sound velocity, thickness
measurements.
Magnetic Particle testing This test is used to detect non-conformities in and just below the
surface. Depending on the strength of the magnetic field, the thickness of the tested surface layer
is set. It requires a set up location that can be darkened to have a good picture of the involved
indications. The length as well As the surface of the non-conformity is measured and evaluated
with the standard descriptions. The advantage is that it can also measure the layer below the
surface and the result is easier to evaluate for irons (materials with a loose structure). The
disadvantage is that it requires a conform location and the equipment can cost a lot (especially the
high current types far deep testing). It can only be performed for ferrous alloys and for 5 mm lap.
Die penetrant testing The liquid penetrant method does use a penetrating fluid (Magnaflux)
which does fill every surface non-conformity like cracks, surface porosity open structure (irons).
Must be properly applied for about 10 to 15. Minutes and a picture can be taken. The result is
evaluated by the comparison with reference pictures, provided with the standards. After
application of penetrant rub the surface very cleanly and apply developer. The disadvantage is that
it is time consuming and it uses products, which must be removed completely after the test to
avoid surface damage like corrosion.
valid. The advantage is that it is, especially for small surface area very cheap and does not require
an investment in equipment. The other advantage is that it can be used for all types of materials.

2.7 TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT

The technical department initiates all the processes at SIFL. When a customer makes his order at
SIFL, the technical department determines the feasibility of the product and prepares the estimate
for the product. If both the customer and the company agree over the estimate, SIFL proceeds with
the order. Technical department enquires about the requirements, facilities and equipment’s
available at the company for production. If any of the requirements is not available in the company
they make provisions for either procuring them from an external source or developing it at the
company itself. Technical department is responsible for preparing all the designs required for the
job. These designs include blocker design, if required, finisher design, die design etc. It also
prepares the drawings for these, Computer software’s are used for drawing and drafting purposes.
The important software’s include solid works, catia, Pro-E. Technical department prepares the
process sheet for each job. As per the requirements of the customer technical department gives the
order for procuring the material of the job. The materials forged at SIFL are steel, stainless steel,
aluminum and titanium. Steel purchased from Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL).

2.8 PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL (PPC)

At SIFL it is usually referred by its abbreviation PPC. When the technical department give its nod
for a job, it is then forwarded to the PPC. PPC after contacting with every department prepares the
schedule for the job. This schedule includes all the operations to be performed on the job like
cutting material, upsetting, finisher forging, heat treatment, shot blasting, grinding, inspection etc.
PPC also prepares the daily and monthly schedules for each department. If any of the operations
could not be completed on time as expected, PPC makes the required adjustments on the schedule.
Also it allots some backup time for each job in case anything goes wrong. Sundays are usually
allotted for maintenance department.

2.9 MARKETING DEPARTMENT

Marketing management is a business discipline focusing on the practical application of marketing

technique and the management of a firm’s marketing resources and activities More than any other
business functions, marketing deals with customers. Creating customer value and satisfaction are at
energy heat of modern marketing thinking and practice. The simplest definition of marketing is
15
“marketing is the delivery of customers satisfaction at a profit the two field goal of marketing is to
attract new customers by promising superior value and to keep present customers by delivery
satisfaction. Sound marketing is critical to the business of every organization large or small, for
profit or not for profit, domestic or global. The two major aspects of marketing are customer
acquisition and the retention and expansion of relation with existing customers.

This department is responsible for the storage and management of the materials, jobs and all other
equipment’s required for the processes. It houses a store for storing the tools and devices like the
drill bits, cutting tools, grinders, nuts, bolts etc. MMD keeps a Goods Receipt Inspection Note
(GRIN) for everything received at the store and it requires a Storage Requisition note for any
department to obtain anything from the store. Goods inquired by a department will not be supplied
to any other department from the store. Monthly assessment is done for the things stored at the
store. It also carries out yearly auditing. There is Rate Contract (RC) for one year for selected
items like grinding wheel, hydraulic oil, coolants, blade for cutting, gloves etc. This is because
there is no need to bargain with the customer and only approval from the MD is required to
proceed.
