1. ASSIGNMENT FOR
BLACK SMITHY
NAME OF JOB – RING
GUIDED BY – PROF. SURYAKANT GAIKWAD SIR
NAME - PATHAK SAKHI PRAFULL
ENRLL .NO. - 2004136
2. JOB PROCESS –
First we have to observe the given drawing of job. After observing
the drawing , we have to take a 10 x 250 mm round bar and convert the bar into
around ring . then we have to heat the furnace, after it becomes hot enough we
have to place the bar into the furnace in order to heat it. After the job becomes red
hot , we remove the job and place it on the beak of anvil in order to give the hot bar
a shape of a ring. After placing it on the beak we have to bend one side of bar in a
round shape using a ball pin hammer . after bending one side again we have to
place the bar in furnace and remove it when it is red hot . then again repeat the
same process of bending the bar . after both sides of the bar are bend into the
shape of a ring , give some finishing to it.
By this process we have completed our job that is to make a ring
using a round metal bar. The tools required in making of this job are smith’s hearth,
ball pin hammer, anvil and tongs .
3. ⮚ BLACK SMITH’S HERATH
A black smith’s hearth is used for heating metals, or the smithy where such a
hearth is located. The forge is used by the smith to heat a piece of metal to a
temperature where it becomes where it becomes easier to shape by forging, or to
the point where work hardening no longer occurs. The fuel used in this type of
hearth is coal.
4. ⮚ TONGS
Tongs allow a blacksmith to grip, lift and rotate red hot metal in his forge. They also
allow the blacksmith to place metal deep into burning coals so that it can be heated
quickly and effectively.
5. ⮚ BLACKSMITHING HAMMERS
There are various hammers used in blacksmithing but, in this job we used ball-
peen hammer. These hammers have a wedge-shaped head instead of ball-shaped
head. The diagonal-peen hammer’s head, as the name implies, is at a 45 degree
angle from the handle.
6. ⮚ ANVIL
An anvil is a metalworking tool consisting of a large block of metal (usually forged
or cast steel), with a flattened top surface, upon which another object is struck. It
consists of a working surface, beak or horn, cutting edge, main body or frame, and
foot.
7. ⮚ STEEL RULER
Steel rulers come in rigid and flexible versions. Their primary purpose is accurate
measurement, they can also be used as guides for laying out lines, and if rigid
enough for cutting. The thinner, more flexible rulers can also be used to measure
rounded or cambered work.
8. ⮚ INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CALIPERS
Outside calipers measure thicknesses and outside diameters ; inside calipers
measure hole diameters and distances between surfaces. To check the
dimensions of a machined part, the calipers are first adjusted to the required
dimension on a ruler or a standard plug or hole gauge.
