 “ORGANIZATION STUDY WITH REFERENCES TO SVE CASTING” BALLARI

Melting of metals, glass, and other materials has been a vital manufacturing process
for several thousand years, producing molten liquids that can be poured and solidified into
useful shapes. Although the basic process continues to be the same, the utility of cast
products has come a long way. The process that created tools and exotic goods for only a
privileged few in the Bronze Age contributes to components used in over 90% of
manufactured goods in our society today. Since the dawn of the industrial age, the
Tremendous progress in the melting process equipment, the range of molten materials, the
chemistry and thermal controls, and the complexity of the finished products has enabled cast
components in building a vast variety of products – automobiles, power generators, railroad
cars, oil pipelines, military hardware, medical instruments, etc. to name just a few.

The energy efficiency of any foundry largely rides on the efficiency of the melting
process – a multi-step operation where the metal is heated, treated, alloyed, and transported
into die or mold cavities to form a casting. The melting process is not only responsible for the
energy consumption and cost-effectiveness of producing the castings but it is also critical to
the control of quality, composition, and the physical and chemical properties of the final
product.

Melting being highly energy intensive, the metal casting industry is one of largest
spenders on energy in the U.S. manufacturing sector. The industry spent $1.2 billion in fuels
and electricity purchases alone in 1998. The concern over the energy efficiency of processes
has been growing with the recent rising costs of energy. The metal casting industry is
specially impacted by the large price swings of natural gas as it is the industry’s largest
energy source Factors like increasing energy demands, compounded by spikes in energy costs
from world events and natural disasters (like Hurricanes Katrina and Rita), will continue the
upward trend in energy costs, pressing the need for developing energy-efficient solutions for
the melting process. The energy efficiency of any foundry largely rides on the efficiency of
the melting process – a multi-step operation where the metal is heated, treated, alloyed, and
transported into die or mould cavities to form a casting. The melting process is not only
responsible for the energy consumption and cost-effectiveness of producing the castings but it
is also critical to the control of quality, composition, and the physical and chemical properties
of the final product.

Although the energy consumption in the melting process has been a significant
concern in foundry operations, the industry continues to use melting technologies with low
energy efficiencies. Studies have shown that by implementing best practice technologies, iron
and aluminum melting can save approximately 1.2 and 3 million Btu per ton respectively.

Considering that iron and aluminum casting tonnages comprise more than 85% of the
total casting tonnage, potential savings in melting these metals are substantial. In summary,
striving to reduce energy consumption in melting ferrous and non-ferrous metals shows a
promising path to lowering operating costs in foundries and, in turn, cutting down the
production costs for the entire manufacturing sector.

OVERVIEW O F THE INDUSTRY:

Metal casting enables the production of simple and complex parts that meet a variety
of needs. It is the most cost effective method to manufacture a shaped metal component. The
process consists of pouring molten metal into a mold containing a cavity of the desired shape.
Metal casting is one of our Nation’s oldest and most important industries. It was established
in the U.S. in 1642. In 1776, seven foundry men signed the Declaration of Independence.
Today, this small business industry is helping to fuel our Nation’s prosperity into the 21st
century. Metal casting is vital to our economy and security. The industry helped the U.S.
become the world benchmark in manufacturing, science, medicine, and aerospace and is
helping it to sustain this position.

Small Business Industry:

The majority of metal casters are small businesses. They are not positioned to perform
the research necessary to remain competitive. Collaborative research partnerships such as the
Cast Metal Coalition, which bring together industry, academia, and government, are proving
vital to conducting the research needed to raise the technology of U.S. metal casting products
and processes.

HISTORY OF METAL CASTING:

The oldest preserved cast parts - weapons and cult objects made of copper – originate
from the Middle East and India. They date back to the period around 3000 BC. It is possible
that metal casting technology, using moulds originated in the Middle East. However, there
are suggestions that this process may have been developed in India and China.
The melting ovens of the early Iron Age can partly be traced back to ceramic burning
ovens. The model and mould building was mastered very well from the beginning. Lost
moulds made of loam and clay, wax models, single piece-work as well as permanent
Moulds made of stone and metal for the serial production of casting parts were already used.
The production of hollow spaces by using cores. has already been proved by the oldest
casting parts discovered.

 First machines were developed for "line-o-type " printing using Lead alloys.
 Die casting machines for engineered parts was developed in USA by Doehler.
Patented in 1905.
 First machines were hand operated, often using compressed air directly on the metal,
lead or zinc.
 Modern machines use hydraulics to develop high pressures (several thousand psi ) &
very fast fill times.
 Cold chamber machines were developed for high melting point alloys Al, Mg,
Brass,& Uranium.

Shortly after the dark ages in Europe, the industrious sculptor and goldsmith, Benevento
Cellini began to make use of the lost wax method of casting. He learned this process from the
writings of the monk Theophilus Presbyter (circa 1100) whose Schedula Diversartium
Artium is the earliest known foundry text. In Cellini's autobiography, considered to be one of
the classics of literature, he describes in great detail the casting of his famous Perseus and the
Head of Medusa. This three and a half ton statue was completed in 1554 and was unveiled at
the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, Italy, where it stands to this day.

During World War II, with urgent military demands overtaxing the machine tool
industry, the art of investment casting provided a shortcut for producing near net shape
precision parts and allowed the use of specialized alloys which could not be readily shaped
by alternative methods. The investment casting process was found practical for many
wartime needs--and during the postwar period it expanded into many commercial and
industrial applications where complex metal parts were needed. It was in this Period that the
Hitchiner Manufacturing Company was of Manchester, NH. Founded at the Amoskeag
Milliards.

The solid mould technique was first utilized because a technology to successfully
remove the wax patterns from a shell without causing it to collapse, crack or burst had not yet
been devised. In the solid mould technique, a wax sprue was placed in a steel casing and
surrounded by setting slurry. The drawbacks of the solid mold technique were extremely long
pre-heat, size limitations and poor dimension tolerances.

The first successful shell technology was the Mercast Process, which used solidified
mercury as a pattern material. Mercury patterns were very heavy but extremely accurate. This
was a very difficult process as all pattern production and shell building had to be done at
temperatures below minus 39 degrees Celsius--the melting temperature of mercury! This
process is no longer used due to high costs and the health hazards involved in handling this
toxic element.

Over 4,000 years ago, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in a land known as
Mesopotamia, ancient artisans produced idols and ornaments using natural beeswax for
patterns, clay for molds and manually operated bellows for stoking furnaces. Today,
precision components for spacecraft and jet engines are investment cast using the latest
advances in computer technology, robotics and counter gravity casting techniques.

structures, processes, and practices and how these, in turn, shape social relations and create
institutions that ultimately influences people”. Organizational study is comprise
Different areas that deal with the different aspects of the organization, many of the
approaches are functionalist but critical research also provide alternative frame for
understanding in the field.

Organizational study are the study of individual and group dynamics in an

organizational setting. As well as the nature of organization themselves. Whenever people
interact in organizations, many factors come into play. Organizational studies
Attempt to understand and model these factors. Organizational study is very essential for
MBA graduates as it helps us to connect theory with practice. An organization is a social
arrangement which pursues collective goals, which control its own performance, and which
has a boundary separating it from its environment. Organization is the association formed by
a group of people who see that there are benefits available from working together towards
common goal.
