• Automation of welding and casting plant

UNIT I

MELTING AND POURING

9

Principles of melting practice-fluxing- Degasification and inoculation- types of furnaces-Crucibles, Cupola, Oil fired furnaces – Electric arc and induction furnaces – Melting practice of cast iron, SG iron, steel, aluminum and copper alloys.

UNIT II

CASTING DESIGN

9

Solidification of pure metals and alloys-shrinkage in cast metals-design of sprue, runner ,gate and risers-problems in design and manufacture of thin and unequal sections-designing for directional solidification, minimum distortion and for overall economy-design problems of L,T,V,X and Y junctions.


UNIT III

WELD DESIGN AND WELDING METALLURGY

9

Design of welded components-symbolic representation of welds on drawings- welding classes- residual stresses in welds-weld distortions-design consideration-strength consideration of welded joints-analysis of statistically loaded welded joints-welded structures subjected to fatigue loads.

UNIT IV

SPECIAL CASTING AND WELDING PROCESSES

9

Evaporative pattern casting-ceramic mould casting –electro magnetic moulding-squeeze casting – investment casting-shell moulding- PAW-electron beam welding-laser beam welding- friction welding-ultrasonic welding – diffusion welding-high velocity oxy fuel processes
