Experiments
PART A Testing of Molding sand and Core sand. Preparation of sand specimens and conduction of the following tests:
- Compression, Shear and Tensile tests on Universal Sand Testing Machine.
- Permeability test
- Sieve Analysis to find Grain Fineness Number (GFN) of Base Sand
- Clay content determination on Base Sand.
Welding Practice:
- Use of Arc welding tools and welding equipment
- Preparation of welded joints using Arc Welding equipment
- L-Joint, T-Joint, Butt joint, V-Joint, Lap joints on M.S. flats
PART B Foundry Practice: Use of foundry tools and other equipment for Preparation of molding sand mixture. Preparation of green sand molds kept ready for pouring in the following cases:
- Using two molding boxes (hand cut molds).
- Using patterns (Single piece pattern and Split pattern).
- Incorporating core in the mold.(Core boxes).
- Preparation of one casting (Aluminium or cast iron-Demonstration only)
PART C
- Forging Operations: Use of forging tools and other forging equipment.
- Calculation of length of the raw material required to prepare the model considering scale loss.
- Preparing minimum three forged models involving upsetting, drawing and bending operations.
