Pattern Allowances
•Patterns are always made larger.
•Excess dimensions are Pattern Allowances
•The modification that are made into pattern are
called allowances.
•Types of allowances
1. Shrinkage allowance
2. Draft allowance
3. Machining allowance
4. Distortion allowance
5. Shaking or Rapping allowance
31. AISSSMS College of Engineering, Pune
102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
1.Shrinkage allowance
All most all cast metals shrink or contract
volumetrically on cooling.
The metal shrinkage is of two types:
1. Liquid Shrinkage:
2. Solid Shrinkage:
32. AISSSMS College of Engineering, Pune
102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
2. Draft or Taper allowance:
It is given to all surfaces perpendicular to parting
line.

3. Machining allowance:
A Casting is given an allowance for machining, because:
i. Castings get oxidized in the mold and during
heat treatment; scales etc., thus formed need to
be removed.
ii. It is the intended to remove surface roughness
and other imperfections from the castings.
iii. It is required to achieve exact casting
dimensions.
iv. Surface finish is required on the casting.
36. AISSSMS College of Engineering, Pune
102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
4. Distortion allowance:
A casting will distort or wrap if :
i. It is of irregular shape,
ii. All it parts do not shrink uniformly i.e., some
parts shrinks while others are restricted from
during so,
iii. It is u or v-shape
37. AISSSMS College of Engineering, Pune
102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
5. Shake allowance:
A pattern is shaken or rapped by striking the
same with a wooden piece from side to side. This
is done so that the pattern a little is loosened in
the mold cavity and can be easily removed.
In turn, therefore, rapping enlarges the mould
cavity which results in a bigger sized casting.
Hence, a –ve allowance is provided on the
pattern i.e., the pattern dimensions are kept
smaller in order to compensate the enlargement
of mould cavity due to rapping.

Forging
• Forging is perhaps oldest metal working process and was
known even during prehistoric days when metallic tools
were made by heating and hammering.
• Forging is basically involves plastic deformation of
material between two dies to achieve desired
configuration. Depending upon complexity of the part
forging is carried out as open die forging and closed
die forging.
• In open die forging, the metal is compressed by repeated
blows by a mechanical hammer and shape is manipulated
manually.
• In closed die forging, the desired configuration is
obtained by squeezing the workpiece between two shaped
and closed dies.
92. AISSSMS College of Engineering, Pune
102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
Grain Structure: Forging
• Parts have good strength
• Favorable Grain Structure
• High toughness
• Forgings require additional heat treating
• Typical forged products:
▫ Bolts
▫ Rivets
▫ Connecting rods, Camshafts
▫ Gears

Process details
Closed-die forging
A heated blank is placed between 2 halves of a die
96. AISSSMS College of Engineering, Pune
102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
A single compressive stroke squeezes the blank into the
die to form the part. In hammer or drop forging this
happens by dropping the top of the mould from a height.
An alternative is to squeeze the moulds together using
hydraulic pressure.
97. AISSSMS College of Engineering, Pune
102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
Once the die halves have separated, the part can
be ejected immediately using an ejector pin.
98. AISSSMS College of Engineering, Pune

Rolling is a bulk deformation process in which the thickness
of the work is reduced by compressive forces exerted by two
opposing rolls. The rolls rotate to pull and simultaneously
squeeze the work between them.

Introduction to Rolling
The basic process shown in the previous figure is “Flat
Rolling”, used to reduce the thickness of a rectangular cross
section. A closely related process is “shape rolling”, in
which a square cross section is formed into a shape such as
an I-beam.

•As any other metal forming process, rolling can be
performed hot (hot rolling) or cold (cold rolling).
•Most rolling is carried out by hot rolling, owing to the
large amount of deformation required.
•Hot-rolled metal is generally free of residual stresses,
and has isotropic properties. On the other hand, it does
not have close dimensional tolerances, and the surface
has a characteristic oxide scale. Moreover, cold rolled
metals are stronger.

Types of Rolling
Based on work piece geometry :
Flat rolling - used to reduce thickness of a rectangular
cross section
Shape rolling - square cross section is formed into a
shape such as an I-beam
Based on work temperature :
Hot Rolling – most common due to the large amount
of deformation required
Cold rolling – produces finished sheet and plate stock

The Rolls
Rotating rolls perform two main functions:
•Pull the work into the gap between them by friction
between work part and rolls.
•Simultaneously squeeze the work to reduce its cross
section.

The Extrusion Process
Types of Extrusion :
Direct Extrusion (or) Forward Extrusion – Billet is placed
in a chamber and forced through a die opening by a hydraulically-
driven ram or pressing stem.
Indirect Extrusion – Die moves towards the billet.
Hydrostatic Extrusion – The billet is smaller in diameter that
the chamber, which is filled with a fluid, and the pressure is
transmitted to the billet by a ram.
Extrusion Ratio = Ao/Af
Ao – cross-sectional area of the billet
Af - cross-sectional area of extruded product

Welding is a process of joining two metallic parts together by heating
them to a plastic or semi molten state with or without application of
pressure and with or without a filler material.
Lets Join the world Together!!!
132. AISSSMS College of Engineering, Pune
102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
• Pressure Welding (Plastic Welding):-
▫ In this process, metal pieces to be welded are heated
to a temp. so as to make them plastic and then forced
together by external pressure.
▫ This process does not require additional metal for
completing the weld.
• Fusion Welding (Non-Pressure Welding):-
• In this process, metal pieces to be welded are
heated to molten (fusion) state & allowed to solidify.
• No pressure is required in this process.
• Additional metal is generally supplied by filler rod
(welding rod) to complete the joint.

Electric Arc Welding
▫ It is a fusion welding process, in which welding heat is
obtained from an electric arc between electrode &
work.
▫ The electrode is first allowed to touch the work to form
an electric circuit and then separated by a small
distance ( 4 to 6 mm), so that current continuous to
flow through the gaseous medium.
▫ The temp. produced by an electric arc is about 5500°C.
▫ The base metal is melted by the temp. of the arc,
forming a pool of molten metal which is forced out of
the pool by blast from the arc.
▫ Metal of the electrode also gets melted & deposited at
the weld.
▫ Either A.C. or D.C. is used for arc welding.

Arc Welding Processes
a.) NON CONSUMABLE ELECTRODE
- The electrode is a tungsten electrode type.
- Need externally supplied shielding gas because of the high
temperature involved in order to prevent oxidation of the weld
zone.
- DC is used and the polarity is important.
- For straight polarity which is also known as direct-current
electrode negative (DCEN); the workpiece is positve (anode) ,
while the electrode is negative (cathode).
138. AISSSMS College of Engineering, Pune
102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
Non Consumable Electrode
i) GAS TUNGSTEN-WELDING (GTAW)
- Also known as TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding.
- Tungsten is used as electrode.
- Suitable for thin metals.
- This process is expensive because of the cost of inert gas
- Provides welds with very high quality and surface finish
- Filler metal is supplied from a filler wire
- The shielding gas is usually argon or helium
139. AISSSMS College of Engineering, Pune
102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
- In this filler metals are similar to the metal that need to be welded,
and flux is not used.
- In this operation, tungsten electrode is not consumed, therefore a
constant and stable arc gap is maintained at a constant current level.
- Power supply either 200A DC or 500A AC; depending on the
metals to be welded.
- Generally, AC is suitable for aluminum and magnesium.
- Thorium or zirconium may be used in the tungsten electrodes to
improve the electron emission characteristics.

i) SHIELDED METAL-ARC WELDING (SMAW)
- Old method , simplest, held manually.
- Most of all industries and maintenance welding currently
performed with this process.
- The electric arc is generated by touching the tip of a coated
electrode against the workpiece.
- Need to have a sufficient distance and movement to maintain
the arc.
Consumable Electrode
142. AISSSMS College of Engineering, Pune
102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
• - The heat generated, melts a portion of the electrode tip, its
coating, and the base metal in the intermediate arc area.
• - The molten metal consists of a mixture of the base metal (work
piece), the electrode metal, and substance from the coating on the
electrode; thus this mixture forms the weld when it solidifies.
• - The electrode coating deoxidizes the weld area and provides a
shielding gas to protect it from oxygen in the environment.
• - The equipment consists of a power supply, cables and electrode
holder.
• - Power supply: can be either DCor AC, ranges between 50 to 300A.
• - For sheet metal welding, DC is preferred because of the steady arc
produces.
Consumable Electrode
143. AISSSMS College of Engineering, Pune
102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
• The functions of coating on covered electrodes:
1. Shielding of the Weld Metal - The most important function of a
coating is to shield the weld metal from the oxygen and nitrogen of
the air as it is being transferred across the arc, and while it is in the
molten state. This shielding is necessary to ensure the weld metal
will be sound, free of gas pockets, and have the right strength and
ductility.
2. Stabilization of the Arc - A stabilized arc is one that starts easily,
burns smoothly even at low amperages, and can be maintained
using either a long or a short arc length
3. Alloying Additions to Weld Metal - A variety of elements such
as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, vanadium and copper can be
added to the weld metal by including them in the coating
composition. It is often necessary to add alloys to the coating to
balance the expected loss of alloys of the core wire during the
welding operation.

ii) SUBMERGED-ARC WELDING (SAW)
- The weld arc is shielded by a granular flux consisting of lime, silica,
manganese oxide, calcium fluoride.
- The flux is fed into the weld zone from a hopper by gravity flow
through a nozzle.
- The thick layer of flux completely covers the molten metal and it
prevents from spatter and sparks.
- The flux also acts as a thermal insulator by promoting deep
penetration of heat into the workpiece.
Consumable Electrode
146. AISSSMS College of Engineering, Pune
102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
- The consumable electrode is a coil of bare round wire 1.5 to 10 mm
in diameter; and fed automatically through a tube which is called
welding gun.
- Electric current: range between 300 to 2000 A.
- Power supply: single or three phase power point; rating up to 440V.
- Due to flux is a gravity fed type; therefore this welding process
is limited largely to welds into flat or horizontal position.
- Circular weld can be made on pipes or cylinders provided that they
are rotated during welding process.
-Suitable for carbon and alloy steel and stainless steel sheet or plates.
- Welding speeds: as high as 5 m/min.

iii) GAS METAL-ARC WELDING (GMAW)
- Also known as Metal Inert-Gas (MIG).
- The weld area is shielded by an effectively inert atmosphere of argon,
helium, carbon dioxide, or other various gas mixtures.
- The temperatures generated are relatively low.
- Suitable only for thin sheets which is less than 6mm.
-The consumable bare wire is fed automatically through a nozzle into
the weld area controlled by wire-feed drive motor.

Soldering
The accepted definition of soldering is:-
• The joining of metals using a filler material of a lower melting
point than that of the parent metals to be joined.
• It is a process in which two or more metal items are joined
together by melting and flowing a filler metal into the joint.
(below 450oC) tin-lead alloy.
Note that some metals are easier to solder than others:-
• Tin, Copper and Brass are far easier to solder
than Steel or Aluminium

Solders
Traditional Solder is an amalgam of Tin and Lead. The percentage
of each of these materials defines the use for the solder
%Tin %Lead Use
60 40 Good for all electrical and mechanical work
45 55 Very liquid used in plumbing
50 32 Low melt solder for white-metal casings
Plumbers solder is not suitable for electrical work
Modern Lead Free solders need higher temperatures
and greater care is needed
152. AISSSMS College of Engineering, Pune
102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
What is Flux?
Flux is a chemical compound that is applied and shields the joint
surface from air and prevents oxide formation. Although flux will
dissolve and absorb oxides, the metals that are being joined
should be properly cleaned prior to brazing.

102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
Applications
Soldering is used in plumbing in electronics and in jewelry
metalwork.
Jewelry components, machine tools and some refrigeration and
plumbing components are often assembled and repaired by the
higher temperature silver soldering process
It can also be used as a semi-permanent patch for a leak in a
container or cooking vessel.
Electronic soldering connects electrical wiring and electronic
components to printed circuit boards (PCBs)

102013 Basic Mechanical Engineering A J Bhosale
• Brazing is a metal joining process whereby a filler metal
is heated above (450oC) and distributed between two or
more close fitting parts by capillary action.
• Brazing is when a filler metal or alloy is heated to its
melting temperature above 450°C. It is then distributed in
liquid form between two or more close-fitting parts by
capillary action.
• The filler metal is then brought slightly above its melting
temperature.
• It then interacts with a thin layer of the base metal
(known as wetting) and is then cooled quickly.
• This forms a sealed joint.
• Brazed joints are generally stronger than the individual
filler metals that have been used to make them.
• This is because of the geometry of the joint and the
metallurgical bonding that occurs.
