Expt. No.3 Calculation of Speed ratio of belt, chain and gear drives

The belt drive and rope drive used in power transmission suffers the same extent of slipping. Then chain drive
come into compete with other type by avoiding slipping. The chain drive is a way of mechanical power
transmission. It consist of endless series of chain link known as roller chain which meshed with toothed
sprocket gear. The rigid links of chain hinged together by pin joint, that provide the chain necessary flexibility
to wrap around the sprocket. The sprocket have projecting teeth of special profile and it perfectly fit in to the
recess of chain link. Thus, the sprocket and chain constrained to move together. The first sprocket in on the
driving shaft, it will pull the chain. The chain then drag the second sprocket is on the drive shaft. By varying
the diameter of input and output gears, the gear ratio can be altered. For example, one rotation in bicycle pedal
cause more than on one rotation of gear mounted on wheel. Without slipping, chain drive ensures the perfect
velocity ratio.

CHAIN DRIVES

Chain drive is a way of transmitting mechanical power from one place to another. It is often used to convey
power to the wheels of a vehicle, particularly bicycles and motorcycles. It is also used in a wide variety of
machines besides vehicles. Most often, the power is conveyed by a roller chain, known as the drive
chain or transmission chain, passing over a sprocket gear, with the teeth of the gear meshing with the holes in
the links of the chain. The gear is turned, and this pulls the chain putting mechanical force into the system.

School of Mechanical Engineering Page 30


REVA UNIVERSITY

Some Features of Chain Drive:- The alignment of the shaft should be more precise than that of the belt.
Center distance is not as important as gear drives. Proper lubrication must be provided for satisfactory service
life. Their efficiency is compared to any other type of positive motivation.

Chain drives have greater versatility, adaptability, and reliability. They are an important component of lifting
and moving machinery. Their cost is competitive due to automated production and extremely high rates of
demand. Chains are low in cost, easy to install and maintain.

GEAR DRIVE
Gear drives, sometimes referred to as gear trains and gearboxes, are mechanisms consisting of an assembly of
gears, shafts, and other machine elements for mounting the rotating parts. They form a mechanical system used
for transmitting shaft power from a driver such as an engine, turbine, or motor to a driven piece of machinery.
Gear drives can alter the transmitted power by using different configurations of gears.

Gear drives can increase or decrease the rotational speed of the output shaft. A common use of gear drives is
for reducing speeds of motors and engines that typically run at thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).
These are known as speed reducers. By reducing the speed, torque is increased. This force amplification
characteristic is one of the main functions of speed reducers.

Gears are the main components of gear drives. Gears are toothed rolling elements which mesh with one another
by engaging their teeth. Because of the large dynamic forces involved, gears are made with alloyed steel. The
properties of these metals are also modified by heat treatment to reach the right toughness and rigidity required
for its application.

School of Mechanical Engineering Page 31


REVA UNIVERSITY

Fig. Shows gear drive

Other components of gear drives are the shafts, keys, couplings, bearings, housing, and flanges. The shafts are
the components that connect the gear drive with input and output systems. Keys and couplings are used to lock
the shafts of the driver and driven equipment onto the gear drive. Bearings are the machine elements that
support the shafts while reducing friction. The housing and flanges are usually made monolithic. The housing
encloses and supports the whole assembly while the flanges are used for mounting.

Functions of Gear Drives


• Changing the Speed of Rotation
• Increasing or Decreasing the Output Torque.
• Modifying the Axis of Rotation
• Reversing the Direction of Rotation

Types of Gears
1. External Gear:

External gear is a general classification of gears in which the teeth are cut at the outer surface of the stock.
They mesh externally with other gears. These are the most common type of gears and are seen in every gear
drive

2. Internal Gear:

Internal gears have teeth formed on the inner surface. They are always mated with an external gear with a
smaller number of teeth. Internal gears are used for more specific applications such as a planetary gear set. The
short center-to-center distance of using an internal gear set makes it desirable for compact applications.

School of Mechanical Engineering Page 32


REVA UNIVERSITY

Fig. Internal and external gears. Fig. Shows spur gears.

3. Spur Gear:

Spur gears are the most extensively used gear type. They are cylindrical with straight teeth formed along the
lateral surface of the cylinder. Spur gears can be external and internal. An external spur gear is considered the
usual type that has teeth on its outside surface. An internal spur gear, on the other hand, is a hollow cylinder
with teeth cut on its inner lateral surface

4. Helical Gear:

This type of gears has a cylindrical form similar to spur gears. The difference is their teeth which are cut in a
spiral wrapping around the cylinder. Helical gears are used because of their smooth and quieter operation. They
are also stronger and have a longer lifespan than spur gears with similar ratings. However, the downside of
using helical gears is the larger thrust load imposed on the supporting bearings.

Fig. Helical gears.

VELOCITY RATIO IN BELT DRIVE


Velocity ratio can be defined as the ratio of velocities of the driver and the follower/ driven.
Let, d1, d2 = Diameter of the driver and the follower respectively,
and N1, N2 = Speed of the driver and the follower resp. in r.p.m.
∴ Length of the belt that passes over the driver= π d1. N1 Similarly,
length of the belt that passes over the follower= π d2 .N2
School of Mechanical Engineering Page 33
REVA UNIVERSITY
Since the length of belt that passes over the driver in one minute is equal to the length of belt that passes over the
follower,
therefore

Fig. Schematic of belt drive

π d1 N1 = π d2 N2

Velocity Ratio = N2/ N1= d1/ d

If we take the thickness of belt into account then above expression can be written as

N2 / N1 = d1 + t / d2 + t

Expt. No. 4 Study of Power train of Bicycle, 2-Wheeler and 4-Wheeler

A powertrain is an assembly of every component that pushes your vehicle forward. Your car's powertrain
creates power from the engine and delivers it to the wheels on the ground. The key components of a
powertrain include an engine, transmission, driveshaft, axles, and differential. Let's break down each one by
one:
The words “powertrain” and “drivetrain” are often used interchangeably, but they are a little bit
different. Simply put, a drivetrain transmits power to the wheels. A powertrain consists of an engine (or a
motor) and a drivetrain. The drivetrain, like the powertrain, is not a single component of your vehicle. The
drivetrain is made of the transmission, driveshaft, axles, differential, and wheels.
Function: The function of the drivetrain is to couple the engine that produces the power to the driving wheels
that use this mechanical power to rotate the axle. This connection involves physically linking the two
components, which may be at opposite ends of the vehicle and so requiring a long propeller shaft or drive
shaft. The operating speed of the engine and wheels are also different and must be matched by the correct gear
ratio. As the vehicle speed changes, the ideal engine speed must remain approximately constant for efficient
operation and so this gearbox ratio must also be changed, either manually, automatically or by an
automatic continuous variation.
Engine: As the heart of your vehicle, an engine generates power to drive the car. An engine consists of
pistons that move up and down inside cylinders and a crankshaft that translates the reciprocating motion into a
rotating motion.
Transmission: A transmission is a basic component in your car that makes sure the proper amount of power
is transmitted to the wheels. Like a car's gearbox, the transmission takes the power from the engine and
adjusts it according to driving conditions, ultimately transferring it to the wheels.
Driveshaft: A driveshaft is a component that transfers the torque from the transmission to the wheels. To
perform this task, it has to work through various angles and change its length to adjust to movement in the
suspension.
Axles: Axles are an important member of a powertrain. It lies between the wheels and mainly performs two
functions: first, it puts up with the weight of the vehicle and it also rotates and transmits the power of the
engine to the wheels.
Differential: A differential is a part of the rear axle. It allows each rear wheel to turn at a different speed. For
instance, the differential is important when turning a corner, as the outside wheel needs to rotate faster than
the inside wheel.
The powertrain is crucial because without the system working properly, your vehicle cannot move forward.
To sum up, it's a group of parts that generate, convert, and consume energy to thrust your vehicle into motion.
Why is power train is important?

When people talk about a high-performance sports sedan, we often hear how the vehicle is capable of smooth
steering, acceleration, and brakes, as well as excellent body control and enhanced safe driving. Well, these
techniques are important but not the 'be-all-and-end-all' of a successful sports car. Its staggering performance
numbers such as hundreds of horsepower or reaching 0-100km/h in seconds come from your powertrain, and
nowhere else. As a source of power generation, a good quality powertrain is a key to a better operating range,
acceleration, and top speed. So, next time you accelerate your car from a standstill and feel a push of your
engine power, just know that your powertrain propelled your vehicle.

These days, the importance of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has been recognized for its role in
improving fuel economy and responding to global environmental regulations by controlling exhaust
emissions. The PCM is the electronic control system that controls what your engine and transmission do.
Thus, it is like the main computer of your car that controls fuel delivery, emissions functions, and many
others. It also affects your engine's performance and drivability significantly.

Expt. No. 5 Demonstration 3D printing process and laser engraving process.

INTRODUCTION TO 3-D PRINTING


3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The
creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying
down successive layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced cross-
section of the object. 3D printing is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing which is cutting out / hollowing out a piece
of metal or plastic with for instance a milling machine. 3D printing enables you to produce complex shapes using less
material than traditional manufacturing methods. 3D printing allows for rapid prototyping and onsite manufacturing of
products.Initially done with plastic, 3D printing now uses new techniques with new materials, such as aluminum, bronze,
and glass. Biomaterials are also being incorporated, such as 3D printing ear cartilage and liver tissue. As the 3D printing
industry grows, 3D printing will become a big part of many engineering fields.

Flow layout of Pre 3D Printing

REVA UNIVERSITY

Components of 3D Printer: -
1. axes
Fixed Rods The three axes that the 3D printer utilizes are on the Cartesian coordinate system. The linear fixed rods are
maintained at right angles to each other and each represents a coordinate axis.
Movement The timing belts and pulleys allow the movement of the hot end (or the print bed, depending on the type of 3D
printer) along each axes according to the g-code (generated by slicing software). The stepper motors power this
movement.
2. Extruder
Extrusion is the feeding of filament into the hot end of the 3D printer. This movement is also powered by a stepper
motor.
Retraction this mechanism is the pulling of the melted filament from the hot end. Thismovement is primarily programmed
through the g-code to prevent the formation of unwanted filament creating a bridge between two areas. The bridging of
unwanted filament is referred to as stringing or the formation of cobwebs. Dual Extrusion some models of 3D printers are
equipped with dual extrusion capabilities
3. Hot End
The hot end is heated to temperatures ranging from 160 C to 250 C, depending on the type of filament to be used. The
hot end melts the filament and pushes the melted filament through the nozzle. The hot end needs to be thermally insulated
from the othercomponents of the 3D printer to prevent any damage.

4. Print Bed
Heated Print beds that are heated improve print quality of 3D printed objects. The heated bed is heated to the glass
transition temperature of the filament being used. Thisallows the model layers to slightly melt and stick to the heated bed.
Non-Heated Print beds that are not heated require adhesion in the form of glue, tape, hairspray, etc. In the innovation lab,
painters tape is frequently used for adhesion.
5. Filament
Filament is a consumable used by the 3D printer to print layers. Filament comes in a variety of materials and colors.
Filament can be composed of metal, wood, clay, biomaterials, carbon fiber, etc.
i). ABS: - ABS is a thermoplastic that needs to be heated to temperatures from 210C to 250C. ABS can
only be printed on a 3D printer with a heated bed, which prevents the cracking of the object. When ABS is
heated, it emits a strong unpleasant odor. ABS requires a complete enclosure while printing.
ii). PLA: - PLA is a thermoplastic that needs to be heated to temperatures from 160C to 220C. PLA is
also biodegradable and emits slight odors. PLA is most frequently usedin the Innovation Lab on all 3D printers.

PLA MATERIAL 3-D PRINTING MODEL

PVA is a water soluble plastic that is frequently used for support in dual extrusion 3D printers. The printed object is left
in water where the PVA support is dissolved and the finishedobject printed in the other filament remains.

LASER ENGRAVING MACHINE

Laser engraving machine is mainly used in the advertising industry, leather products, identification industry,
clothing processing, textile industry, decorative building, textile industry and so on. Laser engraver is the art
of using the laser to engrave, mark, or etch an object. Unlike other types of engraving, the laser machine does
not require tool bits that wear out and have to be replaced. The laser engraving machine is widely used in all
kinds of lines and fields. Different designs have been used in production to meet different line’s requirements.
We believe that the type of machine you’ve chosen will surely be of great help to your work. The following
introductions might provide you information for enlarging the field of usage and to use laser machine well.

Clean and crisp marking with consistency is an essential requirement of the automotive industry. Laser Marking of Data
matrix for traceability & security purposes is an important aspect of the automotive industry. Industrial Laser marker and
marking systems are the ideal sword for marking legible alphanumeric serial code, 1 D barcodes and 2D data matrix
codes on nearly all materials like Gears, bearing, Automotive Housing, are very useful in automotive manufacturing to
trace each and every part.

The Automotive part like dashboard interior of the gear and bearing is made up of materials like Stainless steel, light or
heavy metals and plastics like nylon, abs, PP, PVC is marked for tracing throughout the life cycle for Quality control.
This laser Marking must be corrosion resistance & weather resistance. The oxidation may lead to damage of marking. .

Product traceability using laser engraving


Product traceability in the automotive industry has become an essential element, as these automotive
manufacturers don’t manufacture all the parts by themselves, the huge number of vehicle components are
supplied by various suppliers. So it has become very necessary for each manufacturer to laser mark them with
serial code or data matric code so that the component can be traceable. This will help, when there will be any
fault in any of the components, the component can be identified well which in result helps us
identify the manufacturer of that particular part. To keep the huge supply chain under control there is a need for
data management software or can be called as traceability software which helps in laser marking of 1D barcode
and 2D data-matrices or QR code. All of these codes help the OEM to trace and trace the supplier date place of
the automotive component and helps in identifying the defective component in the car thus reduces the recalls
and malfunction in the vehicle systems.

FITTING

INTRODUCTION

Even in the most mechanized industry, although majority of the work can be finished with the help of
machines, there are certain operations, which have to be carried out manually using hand tools.

For example,
i) In production shops, when two or more parts are to beassembled
ii) Sometimes it necessary to replace or repair a component, which must fit accurately with another
component onre-assembly.

FITTING
Fitting is the process of assembling two or more metal parts together by removing excess material so
as to obtain a required fit.
OR
It is the process of removing unwanted material with the help of hand tools, from a given stock
(work piece) for making a component or fitting one in the other to form a matting or fitting pair.
Ex:- 1) key and key hole 2) A Bush and a shaft.
Fitting requires the use of various hand tools and considerable manual effort. Fitting work involves a
large number of hand operations to finish the work to desired shape, size and accuracy. The hand
operations in Fitting shop include marking, sawing, chipping, Filing, scraping, drilling, tapping,
Dieing, Fitting etc.

Cutting tools
Hack saw frame with blade.
The hacksaw is used for cutting metal by hand. The hacksaw blade has a number of teeth ranging
from 5 to 15 per centimeter. Lesser number of teeth is used for cutting materials like Aluminium,
brass and Bronze and large number of teeth is used for cutting hard materials like steel, C.I etc. Hack
saw blades are fitted either in a solid frame or adjustable frame to accommodate different lengths of
blade.
It is made of high-speed steel. The hacksaw blades are specified byits material, length, width,
thickness and pitch of the teeth. The common dimensions are length 250-300 mm, width 13 mm-16
mm, thickness 0.6 to 0.8 mm, pitch 1 to 1.8 mm. The blades are fixed with teeth facing forward and
the teeth are staggered, which are known as ‘set of teeth’. These make slots wider than blade
thickness, preventing the blade from jamming

A tap is a hardened steel tool, used for cutting internal threads in a drilled hole. Hand taps are
usually supplied in sets of three for each diameter and thread size. Each set consists of a i) Taper
or first tap ii) Intermediate or second tap and iii) plug or bottoming or third tap. In hand tapping,
the tap is rotated with the help of a tap wrench. These taps are identical in all features except in the
taper lead. For identifying the type taps quickly the taps are either numbered as 1, 2, and 3 or rings
are marked on the shank.

angle of 10 degree to the center line of the face .
Single cut files gives better finish when compared to double cut files but at the same time removes
material at a comparatively slower rate.

(C) Shape of files -Files is classified based on the shape of theircross-section.

Various types of files.are used for general work or finishing flat


surfaces.
Squares files are used for filing square corners, rectangular slots, keyways, enlarging a square or a
rectangular holes etc.
Triangular file or three-square files are used mainly for filing corners with angles less than 90 degrees.
Round files are used for filing concave surface and also for enlarging round holes.
Half-round file the curved face of the half-round file is used for filing concave surfaces and the flat
face is used for filing convex surfaces.
Knife edge file is used for filing narrow slots and corners having angles less than 90 degrees

Striking Tools

Fig. 21 Types of Hammers


Hammers: The hammer is defined as a device used to deliver blows to an object or strike another
object, in thesensethatitisusedfordrivingnails,fittingpartsandbreakingupobjects.Itisalsousedforstriking

purposes while punching, bending, chipping, and riveting. Available in various shapes and structures,
hammers are designed for specific purpose. The hammer consists of a handle to which a heavy head,
usually made of metal is attached, with one or more striking surfaces. The hammer is specified by its
weight (125 grams to 1500 grams) and the shape of thepein.
Different types of hammers are straight pein hammer, ball pein hammer, cross –pein
hammer Material Cast steel or carbon steel.
Ball pein hammer:-This is the most common type of hammer which has a ball-shaped end of the
head opposite to the striking face. It is used for all kinds of engineering works. The ball end being
useful for sheet metal forming and it is made in weights from 1000gm to 1.5kg. It is used for riveting
andchipping.
Cross –pein and straight pein hammer:-These have blunt, chisel-shaped ends on the head opposite to
the face. It is used for bending, stretching, hammering into shoulders, curves.

Miscellaneous Tools
Anvil : It provides the necessary support during punching and chipping by resisting the heavy blows
given to the work piece by hammer .The beak is used in sheet metal work for bending the sheet metal

FITTING OPERATIONS
Marking and Measuring
The marking is the first step in fitting. Marking on the work can be done by setting out dimensions
with the help of a working drawing. Generally one end of work piece is filed flat and the
measurements are taken from this reference end. The measuring instruments used in fitting are scale,
Calipers, vernier caliper, micrometer, height gauge etc. Marking tools used in fitting are Scriber, Dot
puntch, Scribing gauge etc..
Filing: Filling is the process of removing burrs from cuts; clean the face of cuts and to give the final
shape to a work piece. The flatness and square ness of the surfaces finished by filing are checked
with trysquare.
Methods of filing- a) Cross-filing b) Draw filing
Cross-filing- this method is used for efficient removal of maximum amount of metal in the shortest
possible time. It may be noted that the file must remain horizontal throughout the stroke (long, slow and
steady) with pressure only applied on the forward motion.
Draw filing-this method is used to remove file marks and for finishing operations. Here, the file is
Griped as close to the work as possible between two hands. In this method of filing, a fine cut file
with a flat face should be used.

Fig. 23 Filling Methods


Sawing: It is the method of removing excess material quickly with the help of hand hack –saw. The
surfaces are to be finish filed after sawing
Chipping-It is the process of removing unnecessary thick layers of metal using cold chisel and
hammer. Drilling –It is the operation of producing circular holes in a metal piece with the help of
bench drilling machine and drilling tools.
Tapping- It is the process of generating internal threads in a ready hole using a set of three hand taps.
Dieing-It is a manual operation of generating external threads on a round rod or pipe using a die
and die holder.
Fitting /Assembly: After finishing the individual pieces as per dimensions they are joined /fitted for
an assembly.
Safe and correct practices:
1) All the tools and measuring instruments are to be cleaned and kept in the respective places when not isuse.
2) The sliding parts and pins are to be properlylubricated.
3) The vice should not be over tightened; otherwise it may damage thespindle.
4) The sharp edges of a chisel or scriber are to be covered with a cap to avoid getting damaged and to
prevent accidents.
5) The handles of hammers are to be checked for cracksetc.
6) The surface plate has to be covered and kept when not in use and tools and jobs should not be
thrown on the surface plate to avoid damage to thesurfaces

WELDING

INTRODUCTION
Joining two or more elements to make a single part termed as a Fabrication process. A fairly large
number of industrial components are made by fabrication processes. Common examples are aircraft
and ship bodies, building trusses, welded machine frames, sheet metal parts etc.
The fabrication is often the most economical method and relies on raw material obtained from one of
the primary manufacturing process such as rolling and extrusion. Hence, it may be called a
secondary manufacturing process.
Classification Fabrication process
The Various fabrication processes can be classified according to Method of Joining as
follows. Mechanical Joining by means of bolts and nuts ,screws,rivets.
Adhesive joining by employing synthetic glues such as epoxy resins.
Metallurgical fusion process like Welding, Soldering and Brazing
The Various fabrication processes can be classified according to Type of assembly.
. .1) Temporary joiningprocess
2) Permanent. Joining process
Temporary joining process: - The joints obtained by these processes will be such that the
connected parts can be separated easily with out any damage. Example: - Joints obtained by brazing,
soldering, bolts and nuts. Studs and nuts, screwsetc
Permanent Joining process: - . The joints obtained by these processes will be such that the
connected parts have to be broken in order to separate them. Example: - Joints obtained by riveting,
welding etc;
Welding
Welding is the process of joining similar metals by application of heat, with or without
application of pressure or filler material.
Applications of welding
It is used in the manufacture of automobile bodies, aircraft frames, railway wagons, machine
frames, structural works, pressure vessels, furnaces, tanks, refrigerators, furniture, boilers, and
shipbuilding.
Repair and maintenance work. Example joining broken parts, rebuilding worn out components etc.
Classification of welding process.
Plastic welding:
In plastic welding, the metal parts to be joined are heated to the plastic state (or above) and then
fused together by applying external pressure. No filler metal is used in this process plastic welding is
also called ‘pressure welding processes.
Example: -Forge welding, resistance welding.
Fusion welding
In fusion welding process, the parts to be joined are heated above their melting temperature and then
allowed to solidify without application of pressure. A filler material is used during welding process.
Example: - arc welding and gas welding
Types of Arc welding process
1) Carbon arc welding 2) Metal arc welding 3) Metal inert gas welding4) Tungsten inert gas welding
5) Plasma arc welding6) Submerged arc welding
Electric Arc Welding (Metal Arc Welding):-
Arc welding is a fusion method of welding that utilizes the high intensity of the arc (generated by
current flow) to melt the work pieces. A solid continuous joint is formed uponcooling.
In arc welding process makes use of ‘filler material’ to supply additional material to fill the gap
between the workspaces. The filler material used in welding process is called ‘Electrode’. It is made
of a metallic wire called ‘core wire’, which is of the same material or nearly the same chemical
composition as that of the work piece metal or base metal. The core wire is uniformly coated with
flux.

76
Principle of Arc Welding:
The source of heat for arc welding process is an ‘electric arc ‘.The arc is produced by striking the
electrode on the work piece. The electrode is momentarily separated from the work piece by a small
gap such that the arc is still maintained between the work piece and the electrode .The electrical
energy is thus converted into heat energy. The high heat at the tip of the electrode is sufficient to
melt the work piece. The tip of the electrode melts and combines with the molten metal of the work
piece there by forming a homogeneous joint.
Operation
In arc welding process the electrode holder holding the electrode forms one pole of the circuit and
the parts to be welded forms the other pole. The electrode serves both to carry the arc and also acts as
a filler rod to deposit the molten metal into the joint. An arc is struck by touching the tip of the
electrode with the work piece and instantaneously the electrode is separated from the work piece by a
small distance of 2-4 mm such that the arc is still maintained between the electrode and the work
piece. The temperature of the arc ranges from 5000-6000 0C. The high heat of the arc melts the work
piece metal forming a small molten metal pool. At the same time, the tip of the electrode also melts
and the molten metal of the electrode is transferred into the molten metal of the work piece in the
form of globules of molten metal. The deposited metal fills the joint and bonds the joint to form a
single piece ofmetal.
Applications: arc welding process is used for fabrication work, repair and maintenance work. The
process finds applications in boiler and pressure vessel fabrication. Shipbuilding. Joining of large
pipes and penstock, building and bridge construction, automotive and aircraft industries etc.

Fig.1 Arc Welding Machine

77
The source of heat for arc welding process is an ‘electric arc ‘. To supply the current for welding, two
types of power sources are available, viz; alternating current (A.C) and direct current (D.C).

Current requirements:-
20-200 amperes for thin
materials 20-300 amperes for
general work 300- 600amperes
for heavy work.

Fig.2 AC Circuit for arc welding


Welding using A.C current: Fig shows the schematic representation of an A.C welding
circuit. The welding circuit consists of
Step–down transformer-to reduce the usual supply voltage (220-440 V) to that required for welding
(15-90V) Two cables – one cable, to the electrode holder holding the electrode and other, the
ground cable
Ground clamp – used to connect one end of the ground cable to the work piece or to the table
carrying the work piece ,Electrode holder and Electrode

78
Fig.3 Welding using D.C current
The schematic representation of a D.C welding circuit is shown in fig
In D.C welding, the electrode acts as one terminal and the work piece as the other terminal (either
+ve or -ve) with D.C generator, greater heat is generated at the positive pole. Hence. The work piece
should be connected to the positive pole of the D.C generator and the electrode to the negative pole
in order to melt greater mass of metal in the work piece material.
In A.C, the melting rate cannot be controlled, because equal heat is generated at the electrode and the
work piece.

Electrodes used in Arc welding:


Welding electrodes used in arc welding are of two types.
Consumable electrodes
Non-consumable electrodes.

Consumable electrodes:
These are made of metallic wire and are consumed during the welding process. The selection of a
particular metal for the electrode depends upon their purpose and the chemical composition of the
work piece metal to be welded. Consumable electrodes are further classified as coated electrodes and
plain/bareelectrodes.

Coated electrodes:-In these electrodes, the metallic wire is coated with ‘flux ‘.During welding, the
work piece melts and at the same time, the tip of the electrode also melts. As the globules of molten
metal pass from the electrode to the work piece, they absorb oxygen and nitrogen from the
atmospheric air. This causes the formation of some non- metallic constituents that are trapped in the
solidifying weld metal and thereby decrease the strength of the joint. In order to avoid this, a ‘flux’ is
coated on the metallicwire.
79
Flux: A flux is a “material used to prevent, dissolve, or facilitate removal of oxides and other
undesirable surface substances”.
Various constituents like titanium oxide, cellulose, manganese oxide, calcium carbonates, mica,
iron oxide etc. are used as flux materials forcoating.

The flux coated on the electrode performs the following


functions. prevents oxidation of molten metal

helps in the removal of oxides and other undesirable substances present on the surface of the work
piece Chemically reacts with the oxides and forms a slag. The slag floats and covers the top portion
of the molten metal thereby preventing it from rapid cooling.
To remove any oxide
formed.
To stabilize the arc
To make welding easy.
To avoid difficulties in welding.

Plain / Bare electrode: The metallic wire (core wire) is left plain or uncoated with flux. These
electrodes do not prevent oxidation of the weld and hence the joint obtained is weak.
Non –consumable electrode: -
Non-consumable Electrodes are made of carbon, graphite or tungsten that does not get consumed
during welding.
Oxidation
Metals in molten condition absorb oxygen from atmosphere and form metallic oxides. This process
is known as oxidation. The formation of metallic oxides must be prevented. To prevent oxidation, we
use coated electrodes.
❖ Advantages of Arc

❖ Limitations of Arc welding:

laborcost. Need high energy
causingdanger
Not convenient for
disassembly. Defects are hard
to detect at joints.

Gas Welding Process:


Principle: Gas welding is a fusion type of welding that utilizes a strong flame, generated by the
combustion of gases to melt the work piece. The gases are mixed in proper proportions in a welding
blow pipe called ‘welding torch’. A solid continuous joint is formed upon cooling.
The combination of gases used in this process is
Mixture of oxygen and acetylene
Mixture of oxygen and hydrogen.
Oxy-Acetylene welding
Oxygen and acetylene mixture are most commonly used in gas welding and the process is widely
called oxy- acetylene process. It consists of supply of oxygen and acetylene under pressure in
cylinders, pressure regulators, a torch, hoses and accessories like goggles and lighter. The oxygen
and acetylene cylinders are connected to the torch through pressure regulators and hoses. The
80
regulator consists of two pressure gauges. One for indicating the pressure with in the cylinder and the
other shows the pressure of the gas fed into torch, which may be regulated. The torch mixes the two
gases and the flame may me controlled by adjusting the oxygen and acetylene supply.

Fig.4 Some of the Important points related to Gas Welding.


Sound weld is obtained by selecting proper size of flame, filler material and method of
moving torch The temperature generated during the process is 33000C
When the metal is fused, oxygen from the atmosphere and the torch combines with molten metal and
forms oxides, results defective weld
Fluxes are added to the welded metal to remove oxides
Common fluxes used are made of sodium, potassium. Lithium and
borax. Flux can be applied as paste, powder, liquid. Solid coating or
gas.

Three types of flames can be produced at the torch tip by regulating the ratio of oxygen to acetylene.

81
: (a) Neutral flame; (b) oxidizing flame; (c) carburizing, or reducing flame.

Neutral flame (Oxygen and Acetylene are mixed in equalproportions)


A neutral flame is produced when approximately equal volumes of oxygen and acetylene are burnt at
the torch tip (I has a balance of fuel gas and oxygen). The flame has a nicely defined inner whitish F
surrounded by sharp blue flame. The temperature of the neutral flame is around 32000C. . Used for
welding steels, aluminium, copper and cast iron etc and can also be used for metalcutting.

Oxidizing flame (Excess of Oxygen)


If more oxygen is added to the Neutral flame, the cone becomes darker and more pointed, while the
envelope becomes shorter and fiercer is called Oxidizing flame. Has the highest temperature about
34000C.Used for welding brass and brazing operation

Carburizing flame (Excess of Acetylene):-


If the volume of oxygen supplied to the Neutral flame is reduced, the resulting flame will be a
Carburizing or reducing flame i.e., rich in acetylene. A reducing flame can be recognized acetylene
feather that exists between the inner cone and the outer envelope. Has the highest temperature about
30000C .The outer flame envelope is longer than that of the neutral flame and is usually much
brighter in colour . This type of flame is used for welding non- ferrousmetals.

Soldering Fig.5 Types ofFlames


Soldering is a method of joining similar or dissimilar metals by means of filler
metal whose melting temperature is below 450 0C. The filler metal usually called ‘solder’ is an alloy
of tin and lead in various proportions.
Soldering is commonly used for joining circuits in electronic components. In sheet metal work and in
sealing of metal containers

Brazing
Brazing is a method of joining similar or dissimilar metals by means of a filler metal whose melting
temperature is above 450 0C, but below the melting point of the base metal.
The filler metal called ‘spelter’ is a non –ferrous metal or alloy. Copper and copper alloys
Silver and silver alloys and aluminum alloys are the most commonly used filler metals for brazing.
Welding Tools and Safety Equipments
Electrode holder:- It is used to hold the electrode during welding refer fig it consists of a handle and
a pair of jaws operated by means of spring. The electrode holder forms one element of the welding
82
circuit. One cable (wire) from the transformer is connected to the electrode. Due to this reason, the
electrode holder should be well insulated.
Chipping Hammer:-During welding, the flux coated on the electrode reacts with the oxides and
other impurities and forms a slag. The slag being lighter floats over the surface of the molten metal
and on solidification forms a thin layer over the weld bead.
A chipping hammer is used for removing the slag formed on the weld bead. One end of the chipping
hammer is sharpened like a cold chisel and the other end to a blunt, round point.
Material- Tool steel
Wire brush: - The wire brush usually made up of steel wire is used for cleaning the work piece
before and after welding.
Tong:-A tong is used for holding the work piece during/after welding.
Ground clamp: - Ground clamp is connected to the end of the ‘ground cable’. Ground cable forms
one pole of A.C.

Goggles and Hand shields:-The sparks produced during welding are harmful and should not be seen
with naked eyes. Goggles are used to protect the eyes of the welder form the ‘rays of the arc’ and
‘flying particles of hot metal’. Hand shields and helmet type shields are used to protect the eyes and
also the face of the welder.
Hand gloves:-Hand gloves are used to protect the hands from the sparks produced during welding
and also from the heat of the electrode holder.

C- Clamp
The C-Clamp shown in fig is used for holding the job firmly on the work table during welding.
Common welding terms
Base metal: - The metal to be joined or cut is termed as the base metal.
Bead or weld bead:-Bead is the metal added during single pass of welding. The bead appears as a
separate material from the base metal.
Striking voltage: - The minimum voltage at which the arc may be struck.
Fillet weld:- The metal fused into the corner of a joint made of two pieces placed at approximately
90 degrees to each other.
Tack weld- A small weld, generally used to temporarily hold the two work pieces together during
actual welding, is the tack weld.

Lap joint: A joint between pieces, over lapping each other. They may be of single fillet or double
fillet joint. This does not require edge preparation.
Corner joint: A Joint forming a corner between pieces located at approximately right angles to each
other is known as corner joint. They are of flush corner joint , half open corner joints, full open
corner joint.
T-joint: A Joint between pieces located at a right angle, forming a ‘T’ is known as a t-joint. They
are of square –T or plain T-joint, single bevel T- Joint, double bevel T-joint. This joint requires edge
preparation except for plain T-joint.
