STUDY OF LATHE
Lathe:
Lathe is the machine tool which is used to perform several operations on the work piece. Lathe is
useful in making several parts which is further assembled to make new machine. Hence lathe is known as
“mother of machines”.
The tool is moved against the rotating work piece by giving small amount of depth of cut. The material is
removed in the form of chips. Continuous feed and depth of cut is given until the required dimensions are
obtained in the work piece.
Bed:
It is the base of the machine. On its left side, the head stock is mounted and on its right it has movable
casting known as tailstock. Its legs have holes to bolt down on the ground.
Head stock:
It consists of spindles, gears and speed changing levers. It is used to transmit the motion to the
job. It has two types; one is the headstock driven by belt and the other one is the gear driven.
Carriage:
Carriage is used to carry a tool to bring in contact with the rotating work piece or to with draw from such
a contact. It operates on bed ways between the headstock and tail stock.
Saddle:
It is an ‘H’ shaped part fitted on the lathe bed. There is a hand wheel to move it on the bed way. Cross
slide, compound rest, tool post is fitted on this saddle.
Cross slide:
It is on the upper slide of saddle in the form of dove tail. A hand wheel is provided to drive the cross
slide. It permits the cross wise movement of the tool (i.e.) movement of tool towards or away from the
operator.

STUDY OF WELDING
Introduction:
Welding is the progress of joining two metal plates using a joining material by heat. It is commonly used to
join metal plates in making boilers, vessels, furnitures, automobile parts, etc.
Safety equipments and tools:
Welding goggles:
Goggles with glasses are used to protect the eyes of the eyes of the welder from the light sparks produced
during welding.
Face shield:
A face shield is also used to protect the eyes of the welder from the light sparks produced during welding.
It is normally held in hand.
Arc welding
2. Gas welding
Gas welding is a process in which the required heat to melt the surfaces is supplied by a high temerature
flame obtained by a mixture of two gases. Usually the mixture of oxygen and acetylene is used for welding
purpose. The filler rod and parent metal plates are melted by the heat of the flame produced using oxygen and
acetylene gas mixture. Gas welding is also widely used to join metal plates.

STUDY OF FOUNDRY
Aim:
To understand the basic concepts of foundry by carrying out simple exercises relevant to its principles
Introduction:
Foundry is a process of forming different shapes and sizes of metals in their molten state. It is also called
as metal casting. The shape of the metal cast obtained depends on the shape and size of the cavity
produced in sand mould by using a wooden model. This wooden model is called a pattern.
The foundry process involves three steps:
a. Making the required pattern
b. Moulding process to produce the cavity in sand using the pattern
c. Pouring the molten metal into the cavity to get the casing
Pattern:
A pattern is normally a wooden model which is the facsimile of the cast/product to be made. There are
many types of patterns and are either one piece or two - pieces.
Moulding Box:
A moulding box is normally a rectangular wooden/metal box with bottom and top surfaces open. The
upper part (cope) and the lower part (drag) are aligned properly.
Rammer:
A rammer is used to press or ram the moulding sand uniformly into the moulding box.
Strike-off Bar:
A strike off bar is a flat-edged rectangular bar made of wood. It is used to remove excess sand on top
of the mould box after ramming.
Vent wire:
A vent wire is a steel wire used to produce holes in sand fill after ramming. This enables the gases to
escape out to the atmosphere when the molten metal is poured into the cavity of the mould.
Draw spike:
A draw spike is a steel spike with sharp pointed end. This is used to pick the pattern from the mould
after ramming.
Mallet:
A mallet is used to give light blow to the draw spike to drive it into the pattern in order to lift the pattern
with the help of draw spike. It is round or rectangular and is made of hard wood
Melting furnaces:
The melting furnaces are used to melt the metal to be cast. Furnaces used to melt ferrous or non-
ferrous metals are
1. Coke fired crucible furnace
2. Oil fired crucible furnace
3. Gas fired crucible furnace
4. Cupola furnace
5. Electric furnace

3. Ram the green sand carefully and the excess sand is struck off.
4. Tilt the drag upside down and sprinkle river sand on top of it.
5. Position the cope on top of the drag.
6. Position the sprue pin and riser pin, then fill the cope with sand and ramming is done and the excess
sand is struck off.
7. Remove the sprue pin and the riser pin carefully.

the cavity.

Thus the mould of the given gear pattern is obtained
STUDY OF SHEET METAL WORK

principles
Introduction:
Sheet metal is a process of working with sheets ranging from 8 gauge thickness to 30 gauge
thickness. It is simple metal form into thin and flat pieces. It is by metal working, we can cut and bent metals
variety of different shapes.
Metals used for sheet metals works :
a. Single Hem: It is the process of bending the sheet to 180 o one time. This is done to make the edge
stiffen.
b. Double Hem: It is by bending the sheet and rolling twice. This is also done to stiffen the edges.
c. Wired Hem: It is made by wrapping a piece of wire inside a sheet. It helps to strengthen the edge
twice than other process.
2. Seam: Seam is a process of joining and fastening of two sheets together. The different types of seams
are as follows:
(i) Lap seam
(ii) Plain Seam
(iii) Grooved Seam
(iv) Single Seam
(v) Double seam
(vi) Standing seam
3. Riveting: Riveting is a process of joining Sheets permanently. The rivets are made up of
soft iron and coated with thin to resist corrosion. The rivets are classified as per its head
shape. Some of the rivets used often in sheet metal work are given in the figure.
