TASKS PERFORMED

2.1 WEEK 1
To study the different conventional machining processes and get their
hands on experience .
Turning

Turning operation is a machining process and is used to produce round parts in shape by a
single point cutting tool. Materials are removed by traversing in a direction parallel to the
axis of rotation of axis or along a specified path to form a complex rotational shape. The
tool is fed either linearly in a direction parallel or perpendicular to the axis of rotation

Driling

Drilling is a hole making process for which drill is used as a cutting tool for producing
round holes of different sizes and depths. Drilling machines are subjected for drilling
holes, tapping, counter boring, reaming, and general boring operations. Drills may be
classified into a large variety of types. Twist drills are the most common tools used in
drilling and are made in many sizes and lengths. Lengths range Straight-shank twist drills
from 1/60 in diameter to 11/4 in by1/64; 2in by 1/16 in increment. Taper-shank drills
range from 1/8 in diam to 13/4 in by 1/64 increments. The cutting tool used for making
holes is called as twist drill. Drill consists two parts. The body consists of cutting edge
and the shank used for holding. Two cutting edge and two opposite spiral are cut into its
surface The flute provides clearance to the chips produced at the cutting edge.The surface
on the drill that extends behind the cutting tip to the following flute is termed as flank.The
face is the portion of the flute surfaceadjacent to the cutting tip on which the chip
moves.The land or the margin is the cylindrically ground body surface on the leading
edge or flank face.The axial rake angle is the angle between face and the line parallel to
the drill axis. Tolerances have been set on the various features of all drills so that the
products of different manufacturers will be interchangeable in the user’s plants. Twist
drills are decreased in diameter from point to shank (back taper) to prevent binding. If the

Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | SCEM | Mangaluru Page


SIDDESHWAR & CO

web is increased gradually in thickness from point to shank to increase the strength, it is
customary to reduce the helix angle as it approaches the shank. The shape of the groove is
important, the one that gives a straight cutting edge and allows a full curl to the chip
being the best. The helix angles of the flutes vary from 100 to 450 . The standard point
angle is 1180 . There are a number of drill grinders on the market designed to give the
proper angles. The point may be ground either in the standard or the crankshaft geometry

Milling

Milling Through milling process flat and complex shapes are formed by using multipoint
cutting tool. The axis of rotation of cutting tool is perpendicular to the direction of feed.
During each revolution of cutting operation the teeth of milling cutter enter and exit the
work piece. Therefore on every rotation the teeth are subjected to impact force and
thermal shock.The tool material and geometry must be designed to resist the conditions .

TYPES OF MILLING MACHINE

To satisfy the variety of requirement, milling machine comes in a number of varities .

a) Knee and column type

b) Horizontal

c) Vertical

d) Universal

e) Turret type

Grinding

Grinding is the most common form of abrasive machining. It is a material cutting process
that engages an abrasive tool whose cutting elements are grains of abrasive material
known as grit. These grits are characterized by sharp cutting points, high hot hardness,
chemical stability and wear resistance. The grits are held together by a suitable bonding
material to give shape of an abrasive tool. Grinding machine is employed to obtain high
accuracy along with very high class of surface finish on the work piece. However, advent
of new generation of grinding wheels and grinding machines, characterized by their
rigidity, power and speed enables one to go for high efficiency deep grinding (often
called as abrasive milling) of not only hardened material but also ductile materials.

CENTER LATHE

Lathe is the oldest tool invented, starting with the Egyptian tree lathe. In Egyptian tree
lathe, one end of the rope wound round the work-piece is attached to a flexible branch of
a tree, while the other end is pulled by the operator, thus giving rotary motion to the
work-piece. It is one of the most fundamental and versatile device, used practically in all
the manufacturing shops. The principal form of surface produced in the lathe is the
cylindrical surface. It is achieved by rotating the work-piece, while single-point cutting
tool removes the material by traversing in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation. A
large number of variants of lathes are used in manufacturing shops. The variations are

1.Centre lathe(engine lathe)

 Bench lathe

2. Tool room lathe

3. Special purpose lathes

 Copying lathe

 Gap bed lathe

 Hollow spindle lathe

4. Capstan and turret lathe

5. Automatic lathe

2.2 Week- 2
• To Study the mechanical properties of steel , and determine the properties of steel
by using testing machines.
HARDNESS :is the material’s ability to withstand friction and abrasion. It is worth
noting that, while it may mean the same as strength and toughness in colloquial language,
this is very different from strength and toughness in the context of metal properties.

TOUGHNESS: is difficult to define but generally is the ability to absorb energy without
fracturing or rupturing. It is also defined as a material’s resistance to fracture when
stressed. It is usually measured in foot lbs. per sq. in or Joules per sq. centimeter. It is
important to distinguish this from hardness as a material that severely deforms without
breaking, could be considered extremely tough, but not hard.

YEILD strength :is a measurement of the force required to start the deformation of the
material (i.e. bending or warping).

TENSILE strength :is a measurement of the force required to break the material.

ELONGATION: (or Ductility) is the “Degree” to which the material can be stretched or
compressed before it breaks. It is expressed as a percent of the length being tested and is

Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | SCEM | Mangaluru Page


SIDDESHWAR & CO

between the tensile strength and yield strength (i.e. what percent does the material bend
before breaking).

Characteristics of steel
Weldability
Weldability is a property of steel that greatly affects how easily it can be used in
construction and fabrication. A steels weldability determines how easily a material can be
welded. Materials with low weldability are likely to crack due to the local stresses caused
from heating at the weld joint. A materials weldability is inversely correlated to the
materials hardenability. This is because if a material is hardenable it will tend to harden
during the welding process which can increase the brittleness and lead to cracking due to
local thermal strain.

Hardenability

If your design is going to be required for cutting or need substantial wear resistance then
the hardenability property of steel should be weighed in your decision. A materials
hardenability determines how easily the material can be hardened by thermal treatment.
As hardenability increase, weldability decreases and vise versa. Steel with adequate or
high hardenability can have hardness levels specified during the design phase. This is
standard practice for tooling, and applications that require surface durability. Since
hardness and ductility and inversely related, controlling the hardness of a material allows
you to optimize the materials properties.

Machineability

Machineability is dependent upon a lot of factors. If a material is too hard it will reduce
the tool life and dramatically increase the part costs. If a material is too ductile it can
spring back after being cut leading to difficulty meeting tolerances. The most machinable
metals are those with lower hardness and moderate ductility. To avoid wearing down
tooling quickly, most metals are heat treated to the desired hardness after being machined.
01 Tool steel for instance is machined after being fully annealed to remove any residual
stress and improve machinability. Once tool steel is machined it is then heat treated up to
the desired hardness.

Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | SCEM | Mangaluru Page


SIDDESHWAR & CO

Workability(bending/forming)

Workability affects how easily a material can be bent or formed. This is commonly done
to form sheet metal or even steel plate into various shapes including anything from car
panels to very large rolled steel tubes. Metals with high work-ability can be used in
stamping without the need for expensive servo presses or can be easily formed into
various shapes with tight bending radius’s.

Wear Resistance:

Wear resistance is a materials resistance to surface material loss due to some form of
mechanical action such as abrasion, erosion, adhesion, fatigue, or cavitation. Materials
such as Diamond and Sapphire have extraordinarily high wear resistance which makes
them ideal for use as gem stones that last a lifetime or used in demanding cutting tools.
Surface hardness greatly affects the wear resistance of a material. The high surface
hardness of a file allows it to wear down other metals of lower hardness without
experiencing significant wear itself.

Corrosion Resistance

Metals that are going to be exposed to rain, water, humidity, or anything else that can
cause a metal’s surface to oxidize are vulnerable to corrosion damage. To protect against
corrosion you can use stainless or galvanized steel, titanium, aluminium, weathering steel,
or add and maintain a sealant layer such as paint.

Unless a metal is only exposed to vacuum, after enough time corrosion will occur. This is
why corrosion prevention maintenance and monitoring is needed for any critical
component. To determine maintenance recommendations you will want to calculate the
corrosion rate.

We conducted different tests to determine the mechanical properties of steel

CHARPY V-NOTCH TEST FOR TOUGHNESS

The Charpy V-Notch test -- or Charpy Impact Test -- measures a material's ability to
absorb energy, or impact, within a given temperature range. The test gets its name from
Georges Charpy, who first standardized impact testing.

Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | SCEM | Mangaluru Page


SIDDESHWAR & CO

Brittle materials can absorb less impact before fracturing, and colder temperatures
increase brittleness. For projects that require steel material exposed to cold temperatures,
the Charpy test helps engineers choose the correct grade of steel.

The Charpy test pits a small piece of test material against a heavy pendulum hammer. The
test piece has a V-shaped notch carved in the middle, which gives the test its name. The
pendulum swings into the test piece (often bending, if not snapping the piece), and the
absorbed energy is measured.

BRINELL HARDNESS TEST

While strength is the amount of force material can withstand before deforming or failing
and toughness is the ability to resist fracturing under force, hardness is the ability to
withstand friction and abrasion.

For example, a diamond is very difficult to scratch (high hardness) but is relatively easy
to shatter (low toughness).

The Brinell hardness test -- coined after engineer Johan August Brinell who standardized
the test -- uses a small steel indenter and applied force to dent a material. The size of the
dent is used to calculate the Brinell hardness number (BHN), which is a standard unit of
hardness.

Mild A36 steel has a BHN of 133, whereas an abrasion resistant grade of steel has a BHN
greater than 330

TENSILE TEST:
This tensile test process is one of the crucial tests of steel bars. A tension test of steel
materials is a damaging procedure that gives data about the elasticity, tensile strength, and
yield strength of the sample. This tensile test is done to decide how the material responds
when you apply a force to it. Generally, by pulling the metal, one has to recognize the
material's rigidity and yield quality, just as the amount will extend. Tension test is the
essential criterion where one presents a steel bar test to tension, which is under control
until the failure stage.

Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | SCEM | Mangaluru Page


SIDDESHWAR & CO

TORSION TEST
The reason for a torsion test is to decide the behavior a material or analysis shows when
turned or under torsional forces because of applied moments that cause shear stress about
the axis. Measurable values include the modulus of ductility, ultimate shear strength,
elasticity in shear modulus of rupture in shear, yield shear strength, and tensional fatigue
life. These values are similar but not the same as those measured by a tensile test. They
are significant in assembling as they might be utilized to simulate the service conditions,
check the item's quality and structure, and guarantee that it was made expertly.
The steel bars hardness tests do measure hardness in the index but units. Since all of the
steel hardness tests are so normal, the list is given as a number followed to indicate the
test method.
ROCKWELL HARDNESS TEST
The Rockwell test is commonly simpler to perform, and more exact than different kinds
of hardness testing techniques. The Rockwell steel bars test strategy is utilized on all
sorts of metals, except for in conditions where the test metal structure or surface
conditions would present an excessive amount of varieties; where the indentations would
be unreasonably enormous for the application; or where the sample size or test shape
forbids using.
COMPRESSION TEST:
The compressive quality is the most extreme compressive stress a material is equipped for
withstanding without crack. Brittle materials crack during testing and have a definite
compressive strength value. Their level of bending during testing dictates the compressive
strength of flexible materials. Compressive quality test, mechanical test estimating the
most considerable measure of compressive burden a material can tolerate before breaking.

BENDING TEST
Bend testing on steel bars takes into consideration that materials resistance to fracture,
ductility, fracture strength, and bend strength. These qualities can be utilized to decide if a
piece of equipment will fail under pressure and are essential in any construction
procedure, including plastic materials loaded with bending forces. If an article starts to
break or cracks during a bend test, it is valid to accept that the content will fail under a
similar in any application, which may prompt to catastrophic failure.

2.3 WEEK 3:
In week 3 we learned to design the components using the software called as solid works.
We were given some designs with dimensions to design , and we completed those designs
using solidworks 2021 SP 2.0

Solidworks
SolidWorks is a solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided
engineering (CAE) application published by Dassault Systèmes.
SOLIDWORKS is used to develop mechatronics systems from beginning to end. At the
initial stage, the software is used for planning, visual ideation, modeling, feasibility
assessment, prototyping, and project management. The software is then used for design
and building of mechanical, electrical, and software elements. Finally, the software can be
used for management, including device management, analytics, data automation, and
cloud services.

The SOLIDWORKS software solutions are used by mechanical, electrical, and


electronics engineers to form a connected design. The suite of programs is aimed at
keeping all engineers in communication and able to respond to design needs or changes.

A sample of the products that are a part of SOLIDWORKS, as described on their website,
include:

 CircuitWorks: an electronic CAD/ECAD translator that enables engineers to


create accurate 3D models of circuit boards.
 CAM: an add-on to all versions of SOLIDWORKS CAD that lets you prepare
your designs for manufacturability earlier in the development cycle.
 Electrical 3D: enables you to place electrical components and use
SOLIDWORKS routing technology to automatically interconnect electrical
design elements within a 3D model. 2D schematics and 3D models are
synchronized bi-directionally in real time so any changes are automatically
updated.
 Simulation: uses Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to predict a product’s real-
world physical behavior by virtually testing CAD models.
Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | SCEM | Mangaluru Page
SIDDESHWAR & CO

 Visualize: leverage your 3D CAD data to create photo-quality content in the


fastest and easiest way you can–from images to animations, interactive web
content, and immersive Virtual Reality.
SOLIDWORKS continues to adapt their solutions to include new capabilities based on
the feedback of users. SOLIDWORKS 2020 features a number of enhancements, such as
improved performance, streamlined workflows, and 3DExperience, a cloud-based
platform.

Programs such as SOLIDWORKS are vital to the work of everyone in the field of
Mechatronics. Students studying Mechatronics at Capitol will take courses in CAD,
automated systems design, and mechatronic systems design.

These are some designs which were designed by us in solidworks

Inventory Management
An inventory management system optimizes inventory levels and ensures product
availability across multiple channels. It provides a single, real-time view of items,
inventory and orders across all locations and selling channels. This enables businesses to
carry less inventory on hand and frees up cash to be used in other parts of the business.
An inventory management system helps keep inventory costs low while delivering on
customer expectations.

There are plenty of challenges that the manufacturing industry encounters when it comes
to inventory control. However, if you are to pick some of the key challenges, then the
focus must be on stock valuation, stock management, and control.

Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | SCEM | Mangaluru Page


SIDDESHWAR & CO

One needs to understand that manufacturing facilities are massive in scope and scale and
typically have large warehouses that are a part of these facilities. The problem stems from
the fact that stocks are managed by humans with very little technological intervention.

What’s more, the availability of stock and its replenishment is typically dependent on
judgment calls made by humans rather than advanced tech-enabled stocktaking and the
application of scientific models.

This results in a human error as it becomes substantially difficult to calculate key stock
aspects such as stock levels, lead time provision, and oversight in the internal control
systems that govern the various aspects of stock management.

Another problem that results from a human-based approach to managing inventory is the
tendency to overestimate or underestimate stock availability, especially in the case of raw
materials. In such cases, purchase orders are placed more than their demand, which can
result in the manufacturer incurring holding expenses, which over some time, can result
in tremendous losses.

We are also looking at manufacturing moving from assembly line production to more
made-to-order production wherein, and all products are tailor-made according to end-
customer specification. As can be imagined, in this particular case, stock forecasting goes
for a toss, as one cannot predict the demand for such products. But does this mean
inventory cannot be managed optimally?

The focus should be on deploying manufacturing industry-specific inventory control


software that has been configured to address inventory control challenges in
manufacturing.

Key Aspects of Inventory Control

A manufacturing plant is relatively complex, and this complexity is based on the domain,
whether it is churning out retail goods, food, heavy machinery, automobiles, or something
else. If you are a manufacturer or even thinking about getting into manufacturing in a big
way, you need to understand the critical aspects of inventory control that will make you
make better inventory control decisions.

Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | SCEM | Mangaluru Page


SIDDESHWAR & CO

Optimizing Production Process

Meeting the highest standards of inventory control and management is not an end goal in
itself. The goal is to ensure optimal inventory to facilitate optimal production. Inventory
control plays a huge role in planning the production process from the ground-up.

With proper inventory management controls in place, you have the necessary information
to plan your production; this information can include inventory data, the cost of raw
materials (not just sourcing, but also warehousing costs), availability of raw materials,
and much more. This data helps plan the production process in a more streamlined
manner.

Forecasting and Planning

This is yet another highly critical element of inventory management in the manufacturing
domain. As a manufacturer, you will need to plan your production budget before the start
of every financial year or at times before the beginning of the quarter.

For this to happen, you will need to forecast the demand for your product, which then
helps you maintain an adequate supply of raw materials.

It is product demand that helps you calculate optimum levels of inventory. But in order to
maintain ideal inventory levels, you need a purchase a system in place that automates the
process of placing purchase orders.

This is done keeping the ‘demand forecast’ in mind at all times. Contemporary inventory
control systems don’t just stop at automating inventory purchases but also keep various
other requirements in mind. E.g., there might be a case wherein a vendor demands a
minimum order be placed; a purchasing system will keep this in mind.

Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | SCEM | Mangaluru Page


SIDDESHWAR & CO

Smooth and Precise Scheduling – No Scheduling Conflicts or Errors

Your manufacturing unit might have multiple clients, wherein the product demand varies
from one client to another. What’s more, in the course of a year, the demand fluctuates,
considering changing the buying behavior of consumers, economic pressures, and various
other factors.

Also, each client will have different demands when it comes to scheduling product
deliveries.

You will be unable to keep on top of this scenario in the absence of proper inventory
control. Your staff will be hard-pressed to manage order details coming from different
vendors. Again, managing and maintaining optimum inventory levels (in this case –
finished products) will help you cater to even the most demanding clients.

Sorting out Warehouse Challenges

Big manufacturers or even small manufacturers, who are looking to scale their operations,
face warehousing challenges. One key challenge is managing warehouse space in the
most optimum manner possible.

Many manufacturers also have to contend with lost warehouse inventory. Some also have
to suffer the consequences of damaged inventory. These and many other challenges have
one common solution – Better warehouse management through optimum inventory
control.

It is imperative that you are able to manage your warehouse stock, meaning you must
have in-depth clarity on the kind of stock that exists in your warehouse – the nature of the
stock and its amount.

There are occasions when manufacturers find that their warehouse doesn’t have enough
space for finished products, because they overstocked their raw materials, or they might
just find they ordered raw materials that they didn’t need. Reason – they couldn’t find the
raw materials they wanted, because these were stored in the corner of the warehouse.
These are situations they won’t find themselves in if there are proper inventory and
warehouse management systems in place.
