LAP JOINT

Aim

To join the given two work pieces as a lap joint by arc welding.

Material used

Mild Steel plates.

Tools required

  1. Welding power supply 
  2. Flat file
  3. Welding rod
  4. Chipping hammer
  5. Electrode holder
  6. Wire brush
  7. Gloves and apron
  8. Earthing clamps
  9. Shield and goggles

    •

    Procedure

    1. The given workpieces are thoroughly cleaned, i.e. rust, scales are removed and the edges are filed.
    2. The electrode is held in an electrode holder and ground clamp is clamped to the welding plates and the power is supplied.
    3. The workpieces are positioned on the table to form a “Lab joint”.
    4. The tag weld is done on the both the ends of joining plates to avoid the movement of workpieces during welding.
    5. The welding is carried throughout the length of the workpieces on both sides by maintaining 3mm gap between plates and the welding rod.
    6. The welded plates are allowed for air cooling after the slags are removed.
    7. The weld joint portions are cleaned by wire brush.


    Result


    Thus the required Lap joint is made by arc welding process.

    Isometric drawings for practice in AutoCAD

    What is Isometric Drawing? Isometric drawing is a method of visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions. It allows for a clear and comprehensive depiction of complex structures by keeping the scale consistent and eliminating distortion. Isometric drawings use a 30-degree angle from the horizontal in all three axes (X, Y, and Z), creating a pseudo-3D effect where the height, width, and depth are equally foreshortened. Creating Isometric Drawings in AutoCAD AutoCAD provides tools and settings that make creating isometric drawings straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide: Step 1: Set Up Isometric Snap/Grid 1. Enable Isometric Snap/Grid:    - Type `SNAP` in the command line and press `Enter`.    - Type `Style` and press `Enter`.    - Choose `Isometric` and press `Enter`. 2. Switch Between Isoplanes:    - Type `F5` or `CTRL+E` to toggle between the top, right, and left isoplanes. Step 2: Draw Isometric Circles and Arcs 1. Isom...

    Fluid mechanics VIVA QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

    1. Define density? Ans: It is defined as the ratio of mass per unit volume of the fluid. 2. Define viscosity? Ans: It is defined as the property of fluid which offers resistance to the movement of fluid over another adjacent layer of the fluid. 3. Differentiate between real fluids and ideal fluids? Ans: A fluid, which is in-compressible and is having no viscosity, is known as ideal fluid while the fluid, which possesses viscosity, is known as real fluid. 4. What is a venturimeter? Ans: It is a device which is used for measuring the rate of flow of fluid flowing through pipe. 5. What is a notch? Ans: A notch is a device used for measuring the rate of flow of a fluid through a small channel or a tank. 6. Define buoyancy? Ans: When a body is immersed in a fluid, an upward force is exerted by the fluid on the body. This upward force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. 7. Define meta-centre?

    Welding introduction

    WELDING Introduction : Welding is a process of joining two similar or dissimilar metals by the application of heat with or without application of pressure and addition of filler material. The welding is extensively used in manufacturing industry, construction industry and maintenance work, replacing riveting and bolting, to a greater extent.  The various welding processes are 1. Electric arc welding 2. Gas welding 3. Thermit welding 4. Resistance welding and 5. Friction welding However only electric arc welding is discussed here. In this process, the work pieces are melted along a common edge, to their melting point and then a filler metal is introduced to form the joint on solidification. The materials to be welded must be free from rust, scale oil or other impurities, so as to obtain a sound weld. Arc Welding: In arc welding, the heat required for joining the metals is obtained from an electric arc. Transformers or motor generator sets are used as arc welding ma...

    ROCKWELL HARDNESS TEST

    Aim :-To determine the Rockwell hardness for the given test specimen Equipment :-Rockwell Hardness Testing Machine,suitable indenter, test specimens. Description :-Hardness may be defined as resistance of metal to plastic deformation usually by indentation. However the term may also refer to stiffness or temper or resistance to scratch, abrasion or cutting. There are three general types of hardness measurements depending upon the manner in which the test is conducted. Scratch hardness measurement. Rebound hardness measurement. Indentation Hardness measurement. In scratch hardness method the materials are rated on their ability to scratch one another and mineralogists use it. In rebound hardness measurement, a standard body is usually dropped on to the material surface and the hardness is measured in terms of the height of its rebound. The general means of judging the hardness is the resistance of a material to indentation. Indentation hardness may be measured by various h...

    Sheet metal Funnel making

    Making a Funnel using metallic sheet Making a Funnel using metallic sheet Aim:- To make a funnel from a given (GI)metallic sheet. Tools Required:- MALLET, SNIP, STAKE, STEEL RULE, BALL PEEN HAMMER, STRAIGHT EDGE, RIVETS, SCRIBER Procedure:  The size of the given sheet metal is checked for its dimensions using a steel rule The required development of surface is being made on the white paper which is overlapped on the sheet metal. The marking is done on the sheet metal as per the development being done on the paper. Now using straight snips, unwanted materials are removed. Now fold and bend the workpiece to make the funnel shape and joint is made on the workpieces. Then using a groover, a locked grooved joint is made for about 5mm. Also, hemming is done in the bottom of the funnel. In between top face and bottom face, a butt joint is made using a solder. Finally, trimming and finishing operations are carried out. Safety Precautions:- Each cut you make exposes s...
