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 ...

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...

sheet metal 2

Straight snip:- For cutting along straight line, straight snip is used whose blades are straight. It is used to cut 22 S.W.G or lighter. To cut sheets of greater thickness lever shearing m/c is used. Hollow punch:- When circular holes are to be cut in the sheet then hollow punch is used for thin sheets. The sheet should be placed over the wood or thick block of lead to avoid chipping of edges of the punch. Chisels:- These are generally used in sheet metal shop for cutting sheets, rivets and bolts. Taper stake:- It is used for rounding of tapering jobs such as conical jobs. Hose stake:- There are two square holes for holding two stakes at a time for carrying out different operations. Half Round Stake:- It is used for pressing round seam joint on inner side. Grooving stake:- It is made up of forged steel and is used to make grooves of different sizes. Grooves are made to impart strength. Soldering iron:- Soldering iron is composed of a heated metal tip and an insulated handle. Heat...
