  4. Again fix the work pieces one by one in bench vice and file the pieces to get the required shape of the edge as per drawing.
  5. Select the appropriate welding fixture and hold the pieces as per drawing.
  6. At some selective places of the joint perform some weld spots for perfect alignment of the job.
  7. Start the welding from one end and proceed to another end.
  8. Like this continue the welding operation for one more time to get weld bead.
  9. Allow the welded joint for solidification.
  10. After cooling, chip off the slag from welded joint with the help of chipping hammer and clean the joint by wire brush.

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...

Welding VIVA question and answers

VIVA QUESTIONS : Q1: Define welding? Ans:  Welding is a fabrication process that joins two or more materials, typically metals or thermoplastics, by melting and fusing them together using heat or pressure. Q2: What is the typical thickness of MS Plate used in general welding workshop experiments? Ans:  The thickness of the MS (Mild Steel) plate used in general welding workshop experiments can vary depending on the specific requirements of the experiment. However, commonly used thicknesses range from 3 mm to 12 mm. Q3: What is the common job material used in welding experiments? Ans:  The common job material used in welding experiments is mild steel. It is widely available, affordable, and relatively easy to work with, making it suitable for various welding applications and practice. Q4: What is the main function of an electrode in welding? Ans:  The main function of an electrode in welding is to carry the electric current necessary for the welding process and to ...

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? Ans: It is defined as the point about which a body...

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...

Coordinate systems in AutoCAD

World Coordinate System (WCS), User Coordinate System (UCS). There is 4 AutoCAD coordinates system you should know. Absolute coordinate system , Relative Rectangular coordinate system, Relative Polar coordinate system and Interactive system(Direct coordinate system). Absolute Coordinate system: Absolute Coordinates uses the Cartesian System to specify a position in the X, Y, and (if needed) Z axes to locate a point from the 0-X, 0-Y, and 0-Z (0,0,0) point. To locate a point using the Absolute Coordinate system, type the X-value, Y-value, and, if needed, the Z-value separated by commas (with no spaces). Syn: Enter LINE command: L [Enter] Start line at point A: 0,0 [Enter] End first line at point B: 2,2 [Enter] End of second line at point C: 2,3 [Enter] Examples shown bellow. Relative Rectangular Coordinate system: After first points entered, your next points can be entered by specifying the next coordinate compare/relative f...

STRESS STRAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF MILD STEEL BAR BY UTM

Aim: To study the stress strain characteristics of mild steel by Universal Testing Machine Equipment: Universal testing machine meter rule, dividers and scale, Test specimen Theory: In tension test of ductile metals, the properties usually determined are yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, percentage of elongation etc. For brittle materials only compressive strength is determined. The tension test is normally carried out in a Universal Testing Machine (UTM). The specimen can be in the form of a rod or a plate. The dimensions of standard specimen can be known from accepted specifications. The following properties can be determined from the stress strain curve of the material: Proportional limit: is that point on the stress strain curve at which the curve deviates from linearity, i.e. from the relation Stress = Young's modulus x strain $\sigma = E \varepsilon$ Elastic limit: is the point on the stress strain curve above which plastic de...
