Assignment 2 Arjun Bms

This document discusses different materials and methods used in aluminum building construction, both nationally and internationally. It begins by describing the casting process, noting that charging the furnace is the first step. It then outlines the main casting methods - die casting, permanent mold casting, and sand casting. Additional methods covered include extrusion, foil/powder production, and sheet production. Products made using these various methods are provided. The document also compares building materials and construction techniques used nationally in India versus internationally, noting differences in materials, styles, and safety regulations between the two approaches.

CASTING METHOD

Charging the furnace is the first step in the casting process. The cast house is
equipped with the following in order to prepare a charge, which is a mixture of raw
materials that are melted down to make an alloy

Types of casting methods


Casting Based
Casting is the original and most widely used method of forming aluminum into products. Technical
advances have been made, but the principle remains the same:

➢ molten aluminum is poured into a mold to duplicate a desired pattern. The three most
➢ Important methods are die casting, permanent mold casting and sand casting.
Casting based products:
● Hardware and fitting
● Baluster heads
● Grills
● Engine and parts
● Utensils, etc.
Extrusion Based
Extrusion is a technique where heated materials such as aluminium are forced through an
opening to form a shaped profile. Once the aluminium has been pushed through the
container by the ram within the press, it will form the extruded profile which will be the
same shape as the opening in the die.

Extrusion based products:


● Door frames
● Window frames
● Facades
● Channels
● Tubes, etc.
Aluminium products
Foil & Powder Based Aluminium Products Foil made from aluminium is thin, light,
easy-to-use and highly hygienic. It is widely found in everything from packings for
pharmaceuticals, foodstuff and other commodities to electrolytic capacitors, lithium-ion
batteries and construction materials.
Foil based products Powder based aluminium products

● Aluminium foil ● In form of powder, Aluminum is used for several applications


● Packings such as manufacture of
● Electrical equipments ● slurry, explosive and detonators, hermit process used for
● Industrial components, etc. manufacture of terro alloys
● and for specialized welding applications such as a
pyrotechnic to manufacture
● crackers, sparkles and other pyrotechnic products
Powder based products
● Crackers
● Welding essentials
● Aac block
● Paints,etc

Sheet Based Aluminum Products


● aluminium sheet is any aluminium sheet metal thicker than foil
but thinner than 6mm,
● it comes in many forms including diamond plate, expanded,
perforated and
● painted aluminum sheet.
● Aluminum plates is any aluminum sheet metal that is thicker
than 6mm.
Sheet based product
1. Chequered plates
2. Corrugated sheets
3. Shuttering,etc
4. Aluminium doors and windows

Comparative Analysis of building (National and International ) based on
construction technique

National Style
Architects working in India began to draw inspiration in the years following Le Corbusier's work, and
thus, began a more rapid evolution of modern architecture. Today we see traditional character in Indian
architecture, but with modern form and style. Building is less ornate and more expressive in form.
Materials are basic but cutting edge. The use of steel and glass to erect innovative building forms is
very popular and striking in the landscape. Urban centers in India are booming, bringing along with it a
rise in population and property demand. High-rise buildings are also common in these dense urban
areas where space must be maximized. Another modern characteristic in the architecture is its response
to ecology and climate, designing for the environment.

International Style

The most common characteristics of International Style buildings are rectilinear forms;
light, taut plane surfaces that have been completely stripped of applied ornamentation
and decoration; open interior spaces; and a visually weightless quality engendered by
the use of cantilever construction.
