- Centrifugal casting is a metal casting process that uses centrifugal force to form cylindrical parts by spinning a mold at high speeds. Molten metal is poured into the spinning mold and centrifugal force pushes the metal against the mold walls to form the casting shape.
- There are three main types of centrifugal casting: true centrifugal casting produces hollow castings using only centrifugal force without a core; semi-centrifugal casting uses a core to produce hollow cavities and is used for symmetrical parts; and centrifuging arranges small molds in a circle around a central axis to fill multiple molds simultaneously.
- Common applications include pipes, bearing bushes, cylinder liners, and pulleys. The process offers
Forging is the process of shaping metals by applying compressive forces. It can be done either hot or cold. Common forging operations include drawing, piercing, punching, and swaging. Forging machines include drop hammers, power hammers, mechanical presses, and hydraulic presses. Closed-die forging uses dies to precisely shape parts, while open-die forging uses simpler dies. Proper die material selection and coatings can increase die life. Forging results in an elongated grain structure and improved mechanical properties compared to casting.
Forging is the operation where the metal is heated and then a force is applied to manipulates the metals in such a way that the required final shape is obtained.
This document discusses explosive forming, a metal forming process that uses explosives. There are two main types - confined and unconfined. Unconfined uses a standoff distance between the explosive and workpiece, while confined places the explosive in direct contact with the workpiece. The process works by placing the metal workpiece on a die, then igniting the nearby explosive. The explosive's shockwave deforms the metal into the die's shape. Research showed deformation of an aluminum plate reached 39mm after 400 microseconds, with peak velocities of 280m/s near the center. Explosive forming can form large, complex parts but requires safety precautions due to using explosives.

Investment casting is an ancient metal forming technique dating back 5000 years. It involves creating a ceramic mold by coating a wax pattern and allowing it to harden. The wax is then melted out and molten metal is poured in, after which the ceramic mold is broken away. Key steps include preparing wax patterns, applying ceramic coats, dewaxing, burnout, metal pouring, and removal from the mold. Investment casting is used to make complex, high-precision parts for industries like aerospace, firearms, medical implants, and valves. It allows for intricate shapes and tight tolerances at relatively low material waste.
Non-traditional machining techniques remove material using various energy sources besides traditional cutting tools. They are divided into mechanical, electrical, thermal, and chemical techniques. Non-traditional techniques are needed for hard or complex materials, and can machine intricate shapes and deep holes. Selection depends on the part geometry, material properties, machining capabilities, and cost effectiveness. While more expensive initially than traditional techniques, non-traditional machining offers higher precision, surface finish, and ability to machine difficult materials.
The material removal in EDM occurs due to the formation and collapse of plasma channels between the tool and workpiece. When a potential difference is applied, electrons are emitted from the tool and strike the workpiece, generating heat and forming craters. The main components of an EDM system are a power supply, workpiece and tool made of conductive materials, a dielectric medium like kerosene or water, and a servo control unit. Process parameters like voltage, current, pulse duration, and spark gap influence the material removal rate and surface finish. EDM can machine hard metals and complex shapes that other methods have difficulty with.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

PROPERTIES OF MOULDING SAND
Good moulding sand must possess the following properties. The properties
are determined by the amount of clay, moisture content and by the shape and size of the
silica grain in the sand.
PERMEABILITY:
It is the ability of sand to allow the gasses to escape from the mould.
COHESIVENESS OR STRENGTH:
This is the ability of sand particles to stick together. Insufficient strength may lead to a
collapse in the mould or its partial destruction during conveying turning over or closing.
ADHESIVENESS:
The sand particles must be capable of adhering to another body, i.e, they should cling to
the sides of the moulding boxes.
PLASTICITY:
It is the property to retain it shape when the pressure of the pattern is removed.
REFRACTORINESS:
The sand must be capable of withstanding the high temperature of the molten metal
without fusing.

DETERMINATION OF TENSILE STRENGTH OF THE
GIVEN SAND SPECIEMEN
Aim: To determine the tensile strength of the given sand sample.
Materials Used: Given sand sample
Apparatus: UTM, Sand rammer with sand rammer standard specimen box and tensile test
attachments, etc.
Theory:
During casting the core is placed inside the mould and the molten metal is poured in
to the cavity. As the molten metal begins to cool, it begins to contract on the inner radius as
well as the outer radius. Due to the contraction of the inner radius the core sand will be pulled
outwards causing a tensile load around the core. Hence knowledge of tensile strength of core
sand is important.
Procedure:
1. Prepare a standard sand specimen with the help of sand rammer and standard
specimen box.
2. Insert the tensile test attachments in respective position to apparatus.
3. Place the specimen between tensile test attachments.
4. Apply load gradually on the specimen by rotating the hand wheel of machine in
clockwise direction, till specimen is fractured.
5. Note down the corresponding reading on the strength scale of the pressure gauge.
6. Repeat the above procedure for two more times.

THE GIVEN SAND SPECIEMEN
Aim: To find the green compression strength of the sand sample.
Materials Used: Given sand sample
Apparatus: UTM, Sand rammer with sand rammer standard specimen box and compression
pads, etc.
Theory:
The compacting limits of the material is called compression strength, it is opposite to
tensile strength. Periodic tests are necessary to check the quality of foundry sand and
compression strength test is one among them. Compression test determines the bonding or
adhesiveness power of various bonding material in green sand. The green compressive
strength of foundry sand is the maximum compression strength a mixture is capable of
developing when it is in moist condition.

DETERMINATION OF SHEAR STRENGTH OF THE
GIVEN SAND SPECIEMEN
Aim: To find the green shear strength of the sand sample.
Materials Used: Given sand sample
Apparatus: UTM, Sand rammer with sand rammer standard specimen box and Shear test
attachments, etc.
Theory:
Shear strength is the ability of sand particles to resist the shear stress and to stick
together. Insufficient shear strength may lead to the collapsing of sand in the mould or its
partial destruction during handling. The mould and core may also be damaged during flow of
molten metal in the mould cavity. The moulding sand must possess sufficient strength to
permit the mould to be formed to the desired shape and to retain the shape even after the hot
metal is poured into the mould cavity. In shearing, the rupture occurs parallel to the axis of
the specimen.
Procedure:
1. Prepare a standard sand specimen of diameter 50mm and of height 50mm with the
help of sand rammer.

DETERMINATION OF CLAY CONTENT IN GIVEN SAND
SAMPLE
Aim: To determine the percentage of clay present in the give sand sample.
Materials Used: 50grams moisture free or dry sand, Sodium Hydroxide(NAOH) and water.
Apparatus: Sand washer(mechanical stirrer), Measuring jar, Electronic weighing machine,
Oven, siphon tube, etc.
Theory:
Clay can be those particles having less than 20 microns size. Moulding sand contains
2 to 50 percent clay. When mixed with water it imparts, binding strength and plasticity. Clay
consists of two ingredients (a) Fine silt (b) true clay. Fine silt has no binding power where as
true clay imparts the necessary boundary strength to the moulding sand; thereby the mould
does not lose its shape after ramming. Clay is the main constituent in a moulding sand and
mixture other than sand grains. Clay imparts binding action to the sand and hence the
strength. Clay is of mineral origin available in plenty on earth. It is made of alumina silicate.
The types of clay are (a) montmorillonite (b) kaolinite (c) illite. The first type is generally
referred to as Bentonite. Clay is the main constituent in a moulding sand mixture other than
sand grain. Clay help impart binding action to the sand and hence strength to the sand.
Procedure:
1. Given sand sample under test is dried and cooled.
2. It is then taken in a glass jar in a weighed amount of 50grams.
3. To this add 475cc of water and 25cc of 3% NAOH standard solution.
4. Glass jar along with the content is placed in clay washer apparatus for 5 minutes.
5. Remove the glass jar from the apparatus and is allowed to settle for some time.
6. Using siphon tube Siphon out water leaving 25mm in the bottom of the jar .add water
again up to 150 mm and allow it to settle down for 5 minutes.
7. Repeat the same procedure for three to four times until the water becomes clear in the
wash bottle.
8. Remove the remaining sand grains from the bottle in to the drying pan and dry the
sample at 105 to 1100

DETERMINATION OF PERMIABILITY NUMBER OF A
GIVEN SAND SAMPLE
Aim: To determine the green permeability number of the given sample of sand.
Materials: 100grams of moisture content sand sample.
Apparatus: Sand rammer & accessories, beam balance, stop watch, permeability meter.
Theory:
Molten metals always contain certain amount of dissolved gases, which are evolved
when the metal starts freezing. When molten metal comes in contact with moist sand,
generates steam or water vapour. Gases and water vapour are released in the mould cavity by
the molten metal and sand. If they do not find opportunity to escape completely through the
mould, they will get entrapped and form gas holes or pores in the casting. The sand must
therefore be sufficiently porous to allow the gases and water vapour to escape out. This
property of sand is referred to as permeability. Permeability is one of the most important
properties affecting the characteristics of moulds which depend upon the grain size, grain
shape, grain distribution, binder content, moisture level and degree of compactness.
Procedure:
1. Prepare a standard sand specimen 50mm diameter and 50mm height with the help of
sand rammer and specimen tube.
2. Place the permeability testing apparatus on a platform then fill the water in water tank
of tester at approximate measured quantity of 200ml and also fill the water into the
manometer.
3. Screw the proper orifice with washer or rubber sealing boss of the tester.
4. Put the valve lever to “D” position on and lift the bell tank.
5. Put the valve lever to “O” position for adjusting the height and fixed amount of air
volume in bell tank.
6. Put the valve lever “O” to “P” position for release of air at constant pressure from air
tank through the sand specimen.

SIEVE ANALYSIS
Aim: Determination of Grain Fineness Number of given Sand.
Materials: 100grams moisture free, clay free dry sand .
Apparatus: standard Sieve shaker machine set of sieve, sand washer, oven and electronic
balance etc.
Theory:
The determination of the proportions of particles within certain size ranges in a
granular material by separation on sieves of different size openings is called sieve
analysis.During sieving the sample is subjected to horizontal or vertical movement in
accordance with the chosen method. This causes a relative movement between the particles
and the sieve; depending on their size the individual particles either pass through the sieve
mesh or are retained on the sieve surface. The likelihood of a particle passing through the
sieve mesh is determined by the ratio of the particle size to the sieve openings, the orientation
of the particle and the number of encounters between the particle and the mesh openings.
Procedure:
1. The given sand sample under test after washing out of clay dried at 1050
C to 1100
C
and cooled.
2. It taken into a upper sieve plate in a weight of 100grams.
3. Standard sieve set along with the content is placed in sieve shaker, apparatus to
vibrate or shake for 10 to 15 minutes.
4. The sand remaining balance in individual sieve and pan is weighed on percentage
bases.
5. Each weight quantity is multiplied by constant, value of each sieve term multiplied
stated as in standard.
6. The fineness number is calculated by using below equation.

TOOLS USED IN FOUNDRY
1. Shovel: A shovel is used for mixing and tempering moulding sand and for moving the
sand from the pile to flask.
2. Sprue pin: A sprue pin is a tapered peg pushed through the cope up to the joint of the
mould. As the peg is withdrawn, it removes the sand, leaving an opening for the
metal. This opening is called the sprue, through which the molten metal is poured.
3. Vent rod: A vent rod or wire is used to make a series of holes to permit gases to
escape while the molten metal is poured into the mould.
4. Gate cutter: It is a small piece of the plate, which serves as a tool for cutting gates
and runners in the mould.
5. Rammer: A hand rammer is a wooden tool for packing or ramming the sand into the
mould. One end is called peen and the other is butt. Peen is wedge or cone shaped and
the butt is cylindrical. Pneumatic rammers also available for machine moulding.
6. Slick: It is a small double-ended tool having a flat on one end and spoon on the other
end. This tool is made in variety of shapes; the most common shape is oval shaped. It
is used for repairing and finishing of mould cavities.
7. Strike of Bar: It is a piece of wood or metal with bottom surface straight and plane. It
is used to stickle or strike off excess sand from the mould after ramming to provide a
levelled surface.
8. Clamps: Clamps are used for holding together the cope and drag of the complete
mould to prevent the cope from floating or rising when the metal is introduced into
the mould.
9. Draw spike: The draw spike is a pointed steel rod, with a loop at one end, It is used
to rap and draw patterns from the sand.
10. Spirit level: The spirit level is used to check the flatness, straightness and taperedness
of mould.
11. Moulding Box: Sand moulds are generally prepared in specially constructed boxes
known as flasks, which give rigidity and strength.

TOOLS USED IN FORGING
Tools used in manual and machine forging. Forging tools are used for moving, clamping,
supporting, and measuring forging stock during forging and stamping operations. Hand
forging is performed on an anvil. A hammer man delivers the blows with a sledgehammer.
The blacksmith manipulates the forged piece, holding it with tongs and using a hand hammer,
which is also used for light blows, to indicate to the hammer man where to strike a blow.
Punches are used for making holes, chisels are used for cutting material into pieces, and
swages are used during the finishing of forged pieces.
25. DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, APPA IET, KALABURAGI. 25
FOUNDRY AND FORGING LAB MANUAL 2016
Open Hearth: A open hearth is a type of hearth used for heating metals, or the workplace
(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 easier to shape by forging, or to the point where
work hardening no longer occurs. The metal (known as the "work piece") is transported to
and from the forge using tongs, which are also used to hold the work piece on the smithy's
anvil while the smith works it with a hammer.
Anvil: A blacksmith uses this tool to support the job which is being hammered by him,
probably during the process of hand forging. The body of an anvil is made up of mild steel
and the top surface which needs to be tough and rugged is made up of a high carbon steel
welded section. The protruding “beak” shaped portion becomes useful for operations that
involve bending. The anvil also incorporates a square cross-sectional hole for accommodating
shanks of other different tools.
Hammers: Primarily a blacksmith may prefer two types of hammers for the operations of
hand forging, the smith’s hand hammer and the sledge hammer. The first kind of hammer is
used by the smith for directing the hammering area, while the sledge hammer is used by his
assistant or the striker for wielding the particular job work.
Chisels: A blacksmith’s chisel is completely different from the usual fitter’s chisel, rather it’s
a specialized device used for nicking a particular job (metal) so that it may be broken off
easily and cleanly. These chisels can be either “hot” or “cold” type depending upon the metal
it’s being used to cut which may be hot or cold. While cutting a cold metal, the chisel is set
and worked at an angle of 60 degrees and at 30 degrees if the metal is hot. Chisels are
generally used in conjunction with a bottom tool also called Hardie, which is a square shaped
shank capable of fitting into the square hole of an anvil.
Fullers: These are often used at the beginning of a nicking down process of a metal and the
reduction process. A fuller is held at the point of the metal which is to be reduced over a
hardie by the smith and wielded by the striker. Fullers come with different edge sizes
depending upon the need of the blacksmith’s operations
Swages: These devices are used for shaping and reducing metal jobs into hexagonal or round
forms. Swages are made with semi-grooves of dimensions suiting the particular reduction
work. They may be in separate top/bottom halves, connected through spring steel strip so that
the blacksmith can use it without external assistance.
26. DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, APPA IET, KALABURAGI. 26
FOUNDRY AND FORGING LAB MANUAL 2016
Swage Block: These are square blocks made of cast iron and may consists a multiple range of
slots of different size and shapes over one of its square surfaces suiting all types of swaging
work. The sides have channeled grooves also favoring swage operations. Usually a swage
block is fitted at a preferable height over a stand while doing the operations
Flatters: These are small iron tools having a square flat surface bottom (3 in. square)
specifically designed for providing flat finishes to a metal job.
Punches and Drifts: These are large tapered punch like devices also called drifts used for
punching or opening holes over softer iron jobs made by heating it.
Tongs: As the name refers to these devices are used for holding and clipping iron metal jobs.
They may come in three different forms namely, Flat nose, Pick-up, and Hollow depending
upon the type of operation.
Blacksmith’s Forge: It is a kind of furnace used by blacksmiths for heating metal jobs while
forging. It’s main parts consists of:
Hood: Which forms the outer cover of the furnace,
Chimney: For discharging the fumes and smokes generated,
Tuyere: From where the fire blast is injected,
Blast Producer: Which produces the required air thrust for creating the fire blasts (usually
fired by motors),And also a few auxiliary parts like Rake: which removes slag, Slice: For
collecting coal over the fire, Poker: For poking and optimizing fire strengths
Basic forging operations employed in giving required shape to the work piece are described
below:
(i)Upsetting:
It is the process of increasing the cross-section at expense of the length of the work piece.
(ii)Drawing down:
It is the reverse of upsetting process. In this process length in increased and the cross-
sectional area is reduced.
(iii)Cutting:
This operation is done by means of hot chisels and consists of removing extra, metal from the
job before finishing it.
(iv)Bending:
Bending of bars, flats and other such material is often done by a blacksmith. For making a
bend, first the portion at the bend location is heated and jumped (upset) on the outward
27. DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, APPA IET, KALABURAGI. 27
FOUNDRY AND FORGING LAB MANUAL 2016
surface. This provides extra material so that after bending, the cross-section at the bend does
not reduce due to elongation.
(v)Punching and drifting:
Punching means an operation in which a punch is forced through the work piece to produce a
rough hole. The job is heated, kept on the anvil and a punch of suitable size is forced to about
half the depth of the job by hammering. The job is then turned upside down and punch is
forced in from the other side, this time through and through. Punching is usually followed by
drifting i.e., forcing a drift in the punched hole through and through. This produces at better
hole as regards its size and finish.
vi)Forging with Power Hammers:
The use of hand forging is restricted to small forgings only. When a large forging is required,
comparatively light blows from a hand hammer or a sledgehammer wielded by the striker
will not be sufficient to cause significant plastic flow of the material. It is therefore necessary
to use more powerful hammers. Various kinds of power hammers powered by electricity,
steam and compressed air (i.e., pneumatic) have been used for forging.

JOB: 3 UPSET FORGING
Upset forging increases the diameter of the work piece by compressing its length. Based on
number of pieces produced, this is the most widely used forging process. A few examples of
common parts produced using the upset forging process are engine valves, couplings, bolts,
screws, and other fasteners.
Upset forging is usually done in special high-speed machines called crank presses, but
upsetting can also be done in a vertical crank press or a hydraulic press. The machines are
usually set up to work in the horizontal plane, to facilitate the quick exchange of workpieces
from one station to the next. The initial work piece is usually wire or rod, but some machines
can accept bars up to 25 cm (9.8 in) in diameter and a capacity of over 1000 tons. The
standard upsetting machine employs split dies that contain multiple cavities. The dies open
enough to allow the work piece to move from one cavity to the next; the dies then close and
the heading tool, or ram, then moves longitudinally against the bar, upsetting it into the
cavity. If all of the cavities are utilized on every cycle, then a finished part will be produced
with every cycle, which makes this process advantageous for mass production.
These rules must be followed when designing parts to be upset forged:
The length of unsupported metal that can be upset in one blow without injurious
buckling should be limited to three times the diameter of the bar.
Lengths of stock greater than three times the diameter may be upset successfully,
provided that the diameter of the upset is not more than 1.5 times the diameter of the
stock.
In an upset requiring stock length greater than three times the diameter of the stock,
and where the diameter of the cavity is not more than 1.5 times the diameter of the
stock, the length of unsupported metal beyond the face of the die must not exceed the
diameter of the bar.
