THEORY:
Founding or Casting is the process of producing metal/alloy components parts
of desired shapes by pouring the molten metal/alloy into a prepared mould (of that
shape) and then allowing the metal/alloy to cool and solidify. The solidified piece of
metal/alloy is knownas Casting.
Pattern:
Pattern is mould forming tool and the replica of the object to be cast. Pattern may
beconstructed out of the following materials according to application.
Wood Metal
Plastic Plaster
Wax Polystyrene
Core:
It is an obstruction which when positioned in the mould naturally does not permit
the molten metal to fill up the space occupied by the core. It is made up of sand,
metal, plaster andceramics.
Types of cores classified according to

This term refers to all passageways through which the molten metal passes
to enter themould cavity. The gating system composed of
Pouring Cups & Sprue

Risers
Risering System:
Riser or feeder head is a passage of sand made in the cape (mould). The molten
metal rises in the feeder need after the mould cavity is filled up. There are mainly
two types ofrisers: open riser and closed riser.

LAP JOINT USING ARC WELDING
Equipment and Material Required: D.C Welding machine, Bench vice, Tensile testing
machine, M.S. Plates of 100x50x5(2), Metallurgical microscope.
Tools Required: Hack saw, Chipping hammer, wire brush, safety goggles, Hand gloves,
Face shield, Files
INTRODUCTION:
Welding is more than dragging a welding rod across a piece of steel &gluing
it to another one. The process begins with properly fitting and securing the work
piece. or metal to be welded together. For thicker pieces you may want to grind a
bevel so subsequent beads can be placed in the groove to fill it completely with a solid
weld. Here are the basic steps for completing a simple weld.
THEORY:
There are various ways of classifying the welding and allied processes. They
may be classified on the basis of source of heat (flame, arc etc.) and types of
interaction (fusion welding and solid state welding).
In general, various welding and allied processes are classified as follows:
Gas Welding Processes
Arc Welding Processes
Resistance Welding Processes
Solid State Welding Processes
Thermo Chemical Welding Processes
Radiant Energy Welding Processes
Commonly welded base metals can be classified as
Ferrous Metals (like Wrought Iron, Cast Iron, Alloy Steel, Stainless Steel,
Cast Steel etc.)
Non-Ferrous Metals (like Al & its Alloys, Cu & its alloys, Mg & its alloys, Ni
& its alloys, Zn & its alloys etc.)
PROCEDURE:
The given M.S pieces are thoroughly cleaned of rust and scale.
The two pieces are positioned on the welding table such that, the two pieces
overlapped one over the other as shown in drawing.

MIG & TIG Welding Process
APPARATUS: Welding Torch, Tungsten Electrode & Filler Metal, Cooling Water Supply,
Water and Gas Solenoid Valves, Inert gas Cylinder
OBJECTIVES:
To study the principle of arc welding process, welding cycle & different time phases
involved.
To understand various welding parameters of TIG welding process.
THEORY:
Air during welding tends to reduce the quality of weld. Inert gases are used to keep
contaminants away from contacting the metal and also to remove the contaminants from the metal
surfaces as the contaminants like air, dust and metal oxides also reduce the weld quality
considerably. Inert arc gas welding is faster, produces cleaner weld and can weld metals
considered to be difficult or impossible to weld. A GTAW process uses a non-consumable
tungsten electrode which is mounted in a special electrode welder. This holder is also design to
furnish a flow of inert gas around the electrode and around the arc. Welding operation is doneby
striking an arc between the work-piece and tungsten electrode in an atmosphere of inert gas such
as helium, argon, CO2 etc.
A GTAW process welding set utilises suitable power sources, a cylinder of organ gas, a
welding torch having connections of cable for current, tubing for shielding gas supply andtubing
for water for cooling the torch. The shape of torch is characteristic, having a cap at the back end
to protect the rather long tungsten electrode against accidental breakage.
OPERATION SEQUENCE:
Weld puddle is developed due to arc action on the job.
Welding torch is moved back.
Filler rod is moved ahead and filler metal is added to the weld puddle.
Filler rod is withdrawn.
Torch is moved to the leading edge of the puddle.

MIG (GMAW) Welding Process
APPARATUS: Power Source & Cables, Welding Torch & Wire Electrode Coiled on a Spool,
Wire Feed Mechanism & Controls, Shielding Gas Cylinder, Pressure Regulator, Flow Meter
OBJECTIVES:
To study the principle of arc welding process, welding cycle & different time phases
involved.
To understand various welding parameters of MIG welding process.
THEORY:
GMAW is performed by using direct current reverse polarity as it gives both good cleaning
action and fast filler metal deposition rates. A rather high welding current is desirableas this
extra current break up the globules of molten metal into fine spray. This increases the rate of
transfer and gives better control of arc, so that it can be directed accurately into the weld
joint.
GMAW uses consumable electrode which is fed through the electrode holder into the arc
and at the same speed the electrode is melted and deposited in the weld. A small adjustable speed
motor is used to remove wire from a spool and feed it into the arc. CO2 and argon/CO2 mixtures
are often use as shielding gases for welding various types of carbon sheets compared with GTAW.

Weld Defects and Dye Penetrate (DP) Test
AIM: To study of weld defects and carry out Dye Penetrate (DP) test on welded joint
OBJECTIVES:
To know the types of welding defects, and its remedies.
To study types of testing methods available, its principle and working.
To carry out Dye Penetrate (DP) test.
THEORY:
The ideal weld should be such that adequate fusion exists between the filler metal and edge
preparation together with good penetration. There are two classes of defects: (a) those due to faulty
technique on the part of operator such as lack of fusion, lack of penetration, over penetration, slag
lines. These are basically the faults of the welder or choice of process. (b) Those resulting from
fundamental difficulties in welding operations such as cracking and porosity.
TYPES OF WELDING-DEFECTS:
Other appearance features which may cause rejection of these Welding-defects are
excessive bead convexity and reinforcement, or the opposite condition, namely considerable
concavity and undersized welds. Here the welder's technique should be improved.
UNDERCUT consists in a groove formed into the base metal, adjacent to the weld bead. It derives
from improper manipulation of torch or electrode. Further training and improved skill of the
welder should save future performance.
CRACKS are Welding-defects never permitted, because they are seen as stress raisers, and
capable to grow until fracture. Different forms and positions of cracks can hint at their origin, and
should be investigated before trying to correct for their appearance. Except for cases of lack of
experience of the welder, who may be unable to end a weld bead without crater cracking, other
instances derive mostly from limited weld ability of the materials, and should be dealt with
Page 18 of 26
by whoever has metallurgical experience, by means of special procedures invoking
pre-heat andpost heat and other tricks which the welder cannot be expected to provide.
Fine cracks that cannot be seen by visual inspections are the object of specialized
inspection techniques. For which DP test is done which is based upon capillary action,
where low surface tension fluid penetrates into clean and dry surface-breaking
discontinuities. Penetrate may be applied to the test component by dipping, spraying, or
brushing. After adequate penetration time has been allowed, the excess penetrate is
removed, a developer is applied. The developer helps to draw penetrate out of the flaw
where a visible indication becomes visible to the inspector. Inspection is performed
under ultraviolet or white light,depending upon the type of dye used - fluorescent or no
fluorescent (visible).
