MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
PAPER – 2 REVIEW

The syllabus for Section – A (Design Part) is less as compared to Section – B (Production &
Industrial Engineering). Even though the marks allotted to both sections are same. Maximum
questions in Section – A were based on numerical problems. So, students are advised to first
concentrate on Section – A. Section – B has more theory part. So, if students had fundamental
knowledge about the subject they could have easily attempted theory questions. Then newly added
subject Mechatronics & Robotics had highest weightage in Section – B as compared to other
subjects. So, greater importance needs to be given to it.
As regards to the compulsory questions in ‘Section – A’: 80% are numerical problems and
20% are theoretical. Further questions were TOM having the weightage of 60%. However in
‘Section – B’ the weightage of theoretical and numerical questions were 60% and 40% respectively.
Further more IM & OR and Production were having a weightage of 40% only equal to that for
Mechatronics & Robotics. It is expected that the above review will help the students in future.

(a) A 100 N block A rests on a 150 N block B, which rests on a rough horizontal plane. The
block A is tied with a weightless horizontal cord to a wall. A force P is applied to the block
B at 45 to the horizontal as shown in the figure. If the coefficient of friction is 0.25 between
the blocks and 0.3 between block B and the floor, determine the tension T in the cord and
the value of the force P so that block B is at the point of sliding.

(i) Define the following terms for the governor:
 Sensitiveness
 Stability
 Isochronous
 Hunting (12 M)

Sol:
Sensitiveness:
A governor is said to be sensitive when it readily responds to a small change of speed. The
movement of the sleeve for a fractional change of speed is the measure of sensitivity.
N 2  N1 2N 2  N1 
Sensitiveness  
N N 2  N 1 
Where N2 – N1 = Speed range from no load to full load.
When N = mean speed
N1 = minimum speed corresponding to full load conditions
N2 = maximum speed corresponding to no-load conditions

Stability:
A governor is said to be stable if it brings the speed of the engine to the required value and there is
not much hunting. The ball masses occupy a definite position for each speed of the engine within
the working range. Obviously, the stability and the sensitivity are two opposite characteristics.
Isochronisms:
A governor with a range of speed zero is known as an isochronous governor. This mean that for all
positions of the sleeve or the balls, the governor has the same equilibrium speed. However, it is not
practical due to the friction at the sleeve
Hunting:
A governor is said to be hunt if the speed of the engine fluctuates continuously above and below
the mean speed. This is caused by too sensitive governor which changes the fuel supply by a large
amount when a small change in speed of rotation takes place.

A governor is said to be isochronous when the equilibrium speed is constant (i.e., range of speed is
zero) for Degree of hunting is more in unstable governors.

(e) A gear set consists of an 18-tooth pinion driving a 45-tooth gear. The module is 10 mm. The
gears are cut using a pressure angle of 20. In mounting the gears, the centre distance was
incorrectly made 8 mm larger. Compute the new values of the pressure angle and pitch
circle diameter. If the pinion transmits 20 kW and rotates at 950 r.p.m., determine the
forces on the tooth for mounted gears.

number of equal parts by radial lines.
2). On the abscissa, take cam displacemtn 120 for rise, next 40 for dwell and next 150 for return.
3). Divide the angle of rise into six equal parts.
4). Through each division of semi-circle, draw horizontal lines up to angle of rise period.

6). Now divide the angle of return into six equal parts and mark points on abscissa (7, 8 …….12).
7). Pick point 9 on abscissa and divide vertical line on it into six equal parts.

Construction of the cam profile:


 Draw a circle with radius of prime circle, i.e., sum of radii of the base circle and the roller circle

(24+8 = 32 mm)
 With reference to vertical axis, mark the points on circle at 120, 40, 150 intervals to represent

angle of rise, dwell and return strokes respectively.


 Divide the angles is a, d into the same number of divisions as done in the displacement diagram

each into 6 equal parts.


 On the radius lines produced, mark the distances from the displaced diagram.

 Draw a series of arcs of radii equal to rr, as shown in the diagram from the points 1, 2, 3 etc.

Draw a smooth curve tangential to all the arcs which is the required cam profile.
During the descent period, the acceleration and the deceleration are uniform. Therefore, the maximum
velocity is at the end of the acceleration period.

(i) Derive the expression for minimum number of teeth on a pinion for involute rack in order
to avoid interference.

sol: Rack is a segment of gear having infinite pitch circle diameter, We know that as the size of pitch
circle of thereby that of base circle increases, the involute curve becomes more and more flat.
Therefore, the teeth profile of a rack becomes straight line. In a rack pinion arrangement, to
avoid interference, the point of contact E must lie between the points P and C. In other words,
the limiting value of addendum should be such that the point E coincides with point C. Thus
addendum of rack must be less than distance CG, as shown in figure.

(a) Explain briefly: Nitriding, Cyaniding, Flame Hardening and Induction Hardening.
(12 M)

Sol:
(i) Nitriding:
 Nitriding is the process of enriching the surface of steel with nitrogen by holding for a prolonged
period at temperature of ammonia (NH3).
 In this process the machined and heat treated (hardening by heating to 930C and quenching in oil,
then tempering at 6500 to obtain the required properties in core) components are heated to a
temperature of 5000C for between 40 to 100 hours (depending on case depth) in a gas tight
chamber through which ammonia is allowed to circulate.
 By incorporating Nitrogen atom on the outer envelope of L.C.S component it will be termed as
hard by forming iron Nitride phase.
Case Depth = 0.5 mm /hrs.
 Ammonia dissociates according to the following reaction.
2 NH3  3H2 + 2N
 The atomic nitrogen thus formed diffuses into iron forms hard nitrides by combining with iron and
certain alloying elements present in steel. The alloying elements having more affinity for nitrogen
are aluminum, chromium and molybdenum.

Advantages of this process are
 Good surface finish
 Less distortion and cracks
 Good wear resistance
 Used for mass production
 Better than carburizing
Disadvantages of this process are
 Long operational times 100 hours for 0.038 mm depth.
 All alloys steels can not be used.
 Special equipment is needed.
 More oxidation due to prolonged heating.
(ii) Cyaniding:
 During cyaniding the surface of steel is enriched with carbon and nitrogen by incorporating carbon
& Nitrogen atoms simultaneous on to the outer envelope of the low carbon steels, it will be turned
as hard by form iron carbide & iron Nitride phases.
 In this process the components are immersed in a liquid bath of 30 % NaCN, 40 % Na2CO3 and 30
%NaCl, maintained at a temperature of 8000C to 8500C.
 Then a measured amount of air is passed through the molten bath.
 Sodium cyanide reacts with oxygen of the air and is oxidized. The basic reactions in the bath are:
2 NaCN + O2  2 NaCNO
2 NaCNO + O2  Na2 Co3 + CO+ 2 N
2 CO  CO2 + C

 Carbon and nitrogen thus formed in atomic form diffuse into steel surface.
 Case Depth = 0.5 mm/10 hrs.

: 31 : Mechanical Engineering

 This process usually requires 30 to 90 minutes for completion.
 After cyaniding, the components are taken out and quenched in water or oil followed by low
temperature tempering.
Advantages of this process are:
 Can be applied to Low carbon and medium carbon steels.
 Bright finish in parts can be obtained.
 Cracks and distortions are minimized.
 Most suitable for parts subjected to high loads.
Disadvantages of this process are:
 Risk of splitting of poisonous salts.
 Unhealthy fumes are formed.

(iii) Flame Hardening:


 In this process, the heat treatable steel is rapidly heated by means of a oxyacetylene flame to above
the AC3 temperature and then quenched with water as shown in figure.
 The highly heated surface becomes hard due to the transformation of austenite to martensite
whereas the core remain soft and tough.
 Depth of the hardened zone may be controlled by controlling the flame intensity, heating time or
speed of travel of the torch.
Torch

Flame water

Hardened surfaces

Work piece Heated surfaces

 The disadvantage of this process is that the temperature cannot be controlled accurately and over-
heating may cause distortion and cracking of the component.

: 32 : ESE ‐17 _ Conventional Paper – 2

 Flame hardening can be carried in four different ways. These are:
(a) Stationery: Here both the work piece and torch is stationary and this method is used for spot
hardening of small parts.
(b) Progressive: Here the torch moves over stationary work piece. This method is used for large
parts.
(c) Spinning: Here torch is stationary while the work piece rotates. This method is used for
circular parts.
(d) Progressive spinning: Here torch moves over a rotating work piece. Large rolls are hardened
by this method.

(iv) Induction Hardening:


Water inlet
Sprayer

Inductor

Work piece
Magnetic
Field

 The disadvantage of flame hardening i.e., over-heating may be avoided by inducing heat
electrically in the surface of steel.
 In Induction hardening the heating time is only a few seconds.
 Heat generated in the work piece by induction is mostly confined to outer surface which is to be
hardened.
 The depth to which heat penetrates is inversely proportional to the square root of frequency of the
current. Hence the hardened depth decreases with increase in frequency of the current.
 Similar to flame hardening, the induction hardened work piece is also subjected to low temperature
tempering to relieve stresses.

(a) Non pressurized gating system (b) Pressurized gating system

2. Based on the position of ingate


(a) Top gating system (b) Bottom gating system
(c) Parting gating system (d) Step gating system

Non pressurized gating system:


 If pressure above molten metal in gating system is equal to atmospheric pressure, it is called as non
pressurized gating system.
P = Patm
 It is very easy to maintain just by keeping top of the pouring basin open to atmosphere.
 But it can’t be used for casting of highly reactive metals like Al, Mg etc.
 Optimum gating ratio =1:4:4 or 1:2:2 for non-pressurizing gating system.

Pressurised Gating System:


If top of the pouring basin is closed and the pressure above molten metal in pouring basin is maintained
as greater than atmospheric pressure is called as pressurized gating system.
i.e., P > Patm
Uses:
The pressurized gating system is used in three cases
 During casting of highly reactive metals like Al, Mg etc..
 Back pressure gating system.
 To increase the velocity of molten metal in the gating system without increasing the height of sprue

Fluid discharged Outlet port Fluid transported


to outlet round between teeth

Intermeshing fluid trapped


gears Inlet port

Fluid is forced through the pump as it becomes trapped between the rotating gear teeth and the
housing and so is transferred from the inlet port to be discharged at the outlet port. Such pumps are
widely used, being low cost and robust. They generally operate at pressures below about 15 MPa
and at 2400 rotations per minute. The maximum flow capacity is about 0.5m3/min. However,
leakage occurs between the teeth and the casing and between the interlocking teeth, and this limits
the efficiency.

06. (a)
(i) Explain uniform corrosion and pitting corrosion. (10 M)

Sol: Uniform Corrosion: Uniform and general corrosion, in which the entire metal surface area is
exposed to the corrosive environment and converted into its oxide form. It is the uniform thinning
of a metal without any localized attack and corrosion does not penetrate very deep inside that
means the corrosion is passive. The most familiar example is the rusting of steel in air and it is not
recognized as dangerous form of corrosion, because:

 Prediction of thickness reduction rate can by means of simple tests. corresponding corrosion
allowance can be added taking into account strength requiring and life
 Available protection methods are usually so efficient that the corrosion rate is reduced to an
acceptable level. Actual methods are application of coatings, cathodic protection or possibly
change of environment or material.

Mechanism of uniform corrosion: A very thin layer of electrolyte is present and putting a small
drop of seawater on a piece of steel. A metal surface exposed to atmosphere, only a limited
quantity of water and dissolved ions are present, whereas the access to oxygen present in the air
is unlimited. Corrosion products are formed close to the metal surface, unlike the case in aqueous
corrosion, and they may prevent further corrosion by acting as a physical barrier between the
metal surface and environment, particularly if they are insoluble as in the case of copper or lead.
The following is a simplified mechanism of aqueous corrosion of iron

1. At anodic areas, anodic reaction takes place:


2. At cathodic areas reduction of Oxygen takes place:
3. The OH ions react with iron ions , produced at the anode:
4. With more access to Oxygen in the air , Fe(OH)2 oxidizes to Fe(OH)3:

5. Ferrous hydroxide is converted to hydrated ferric oxide or rust by oxygen,

Pitting Corrosion: Pitting corrosion is a localized form of corrosion by which cavities or "holes"
are produced in the material. Pitting is considered to be more dangerous than uniform
corrosion damage because it is more difficult to detect, predict and design
against. Corrosion products often cover the pits.
A small, narrow pit with minimal overall metal loss can lead to the failure of an entire
engineering system and is a common denominator of all types of localized corrosion
attack. Pitting corrosion can produce pits with their mouth open (uncovered) or covered with a
semi-permeable membrane of corrosion products. Pits can be either hemispherical or cup-shaped.

Pitting corrosion may occur in stainless steels in neutral or acid solutions containing halides*,
primarily chlorides (Cl-), such as seawater.
Pitting corrosion can be prevented through:
1. Proper selection of materials with known resistance to the service environment.

2. Control pH, chloride concentration and temperature.

3. Cathodic protection and/or Anodic Protection.

4. Use higher alloys (ASTM G48) for increased resistance to pitting corrosion.

(ii) Describe with an illustrative sketch the “Ultrasonic Welding” process. (10 M)

Sol: Ultrasonic Welding:


Ultrasonic welding (USW) is a solid-state process that forms a weld by applying localized high-
frequency vibratory energy while the workpieces are held together under light pressure. A sound
metallurgical bond is produced without significant heat.
The basic equipment required in this process is shown in below figure. A light clamping force
applies pressure through the reed to the sono-trode tip. The transducer is wedge-shaped where it
attaches to the reed. It produces the vibration that disrupts surface roughness and impurities prior to
welding. The workpieces are placed beneath the sono-trode tip and supported underneath to sustain
the force used, there by holding the workpieces together.
Though ultrasonic welding bears a resemblance to resistance welding, it utilizes no electrical
current flow or significant heat across the joint interface. The transducer used in the process
typically vibrates at 20 kHz.
The vibratory energy disrupts surface roughness and impurities, interatomic attraction occurs, and a
weld results. The equipment components must be acoustically tuned to each other or the weld will
not take place. It should be noted, however, that the ultrasonic welding process is limited to the size
and capability of the transducer.
Process variations have been developed to form welds in spot, ring, line, and seam configurations.
Metals such as aluminum and copper and nonmetals such as thermoplastics are routinely joined by
ultrasonic welding. The process has the capacity to weld thin sections to thick sections and join a
variety of dissimilar materials. For metals, the process is limited to the welding of relatively thin,
lapped sections and the joining of wires to sheet or wires to other wires. Once the parameters are
set, little skill is required to operate the ultrasonic welding process. This process can be used for
automatic and robotic applications.

(i) Describe the stress – strain behaviour and glass transition temperature for polymers.
(10 M)
Sol: Stress strain behavior and glass transition temperature of polymers:
The Stress/Strain behavior of solid polymers can be categorized into several classes of behavior:
 Brittle Fracture: characterized by no yield point, a region of Hookean behavior at low
strains and failure characterized by chonchoidal lines such as seen in inorganic glasses.
 Yield Behavior: characterized by a maximum in the stress/strain curve followed by yielding
deformation which is usually associated with crazing or shear banding and usually ductile
failure. Ductile failure exhibits a high extent of deformation on the failure surface. Yield
behavior can result in necking which exhibits a close to constant load regime and a terminal
increase in the stress.
 Rubber-Like Behavior: characterized by the absence of a yield point maximum but
exhibiting a plateau in an engineering stress/strain curve. Often rubber-like behavior exhibits
a terminal increase in the stress followed by failure which results in a tear with little
permanent deformation exhibited in the failure surface, e.g. Jell-O.

Generally, a single polymer sample displays one of the characteristic failure mechanisms under
normal conditions, i.e. polystyrene exhibits brittle failure, polyethylene displays necking,
crosslinked polydimethylsiloxane displays rubbery behavior, high impact polystyrene displays
yielding behavior. The type of behavior can also change with the type of deformation, i.e.
polystyrene displays crazing or brittle failure in tension but displays shear banding and yield
behavior in compression.

Glass transition temperature for polymers:


The glass–liquid transition or glass transition for short is the reversible transition in amorphous
materials from a hard and relatively brittle "glassy" state into a viscous or rubbery state as the
temperature is increased. An amorphous solid that exhibits a glass transition is called a glass. The
reverse transition, achieved by supercooling a viscous liquid into the glass state, is called
vitrification.

(ii) Define the term hardenability and the factors affecting it. Also name various hardening
methods. (10 M)

Sol: Hardenability:
Hardenability is defined as the ability of steel to develop its maximum hardness when subjected to
the hardening (heat treatment) process. Good hardenability is indicated by a greater depth of
hardening below the surface.
 Hardening is applicable to steels with carbon % 0 to 2.11% (LCS, MCS & HCS).
 Hardening is applied to cutting tools and machine parts where high hardness and wear resistance is
desirable.

 Due to hardening process, When the component is subjected to hardening process in a quenched
medium, the outer surface of the component experiences cooling effect immediately compare to
core of the component  outer surface produces small grains (martensite) and where as core
remains with large grains (Fe-Austenite Phase)  outer surface is hard & core remains in soft
condition.
The depth up to which it is converted into hard is known as depth of hardness (Dh).
 The depth up to which from the surface of the component has been hardened is known as depth of
hardenability (Dh).
 During hardening process if a steel produces more Dh value means more volume is converted into
martensite  easily hardenable.
 Dh Hardenability of steel.

: 54 : ESE ‐17 _ Conventional Paper – 2

Factors affecting the hardenability
 Carbon content in the steel: carbon steels are usually quenched in water and alloy steels are
quenched in oil. The sudden cooling is called Quenching.
High carbon steels are easily hardenable compared to low carbon steels.
 Rate of cooling: To obtain martensitic structure the cooling rate should be higher than the critical
rate.
 Type of quench medium: based on the nature of quench medium like water, oil, polymer quench
etc.
Hardening methods:
(i) Flame hardening
(ii) Induction hardening
(iii) Nitriding
(iv) Cyaniding

1. Demand is known, constant and independent.


2. Lead time- that is, the time between placement and receipt of the order- is known and constant.
3. Instantaneous replenishment i.e. the receipt of inventory is instantaneous and complete.

(ii) Give a schematic diagram of a piezoelectric accelerometer for shock and vibration
measurement and briefly explain how it works. (10 M)

Sol: Piezoelectric accelerometer: The heart of a piezoelectric accelerometer is the slice of piezoelectric
material, usually an artificially polarized ferroelectric ceramic, which exhibits the unique piezoelectric
effect. When it is mechanically stressed, either in tension, compression or shear, it generates an
electrical charge across its pole faces which are proportional to the applied force. All piezo-
electric accelerometers work by measuring the charge generated by a crystal that is being compressed or
shear loaded by a mass influenced by acceleration. In most applications this high impedance charge
output is converted to a low impedance voltage output by the use of integral electronics.

Two configurations are in common use:


The Compression Type where the mass exerts a compressive force on the piezoelectric element

The Shear Type where the mass exerts a shear force on the piezoelectric element.
 Most widely used vibration transducer is the piezoelectric accelerometer.
 It has very wide frequency and dynamic ranges with good linearity throughout the ranges.
 It is relatively robust and reliable for long period of time.

ACE Engineering Academy Hyderabad|Delhi|Bhopal|Pune|Bhubaneswar| Lucknow|Patna|Bengaluru|Chennai|Vijayawada|Vizag |Tirupati | Kukatpally| Kolkata



: 57 : Mechanical Engineering

 The piezoelectric accelerometer is self-generating, so that it doesn't need a power supply.
 There are no moving parts to wear out, and finally, its acceleration proportional output can be
integrated to get velocity and displacement proportional signals.
Disadvantages:
 Does not measure shaft vibration.
 Sensitive to mounting techniques and surface conditions.
 Difficult to perform calibration check.
 Double integration to displacement often causes low frequency noise.
 One accelerometer does not fit all applications.
At higher temperatures (250°C) the piezoelectric ceramic will begin to depolarize so that the sensitivity
will be permanently altered. Such an accelerometer may still be used after recalibration if the
depolarization is not too severe. For temperatures up to 400°C, accelerometers with a special
piezoelectric ceramic are available.

Sol: ROM (Read only memory) is a memory device used for store element programs/data. It is not
lost when power is removed.
PROM (Programmable ROM) is a type of ROM chip programmed by used for one time only.
EPROM (Erasable and Programmable ROM) is type of ROM chip programmed by user and
contents can be erased for repeated programming.
EEPROM (Electrically erasable PROM) is similar to EPROM, but erasing is done by
electrically by applying high voltage and programmed repeatedly.
RAM Random Access memory is used to store temporary data/programs during execution. It is
lost with power.

(i) How is the heat for electron beam welding obtained? With the help of a diagram, discuss the
working of this method of welding. (10 M)

Sol: Electron Beam Welding:


Used for high-precision and high-production applications involving most metals, electron beam
welding (EBW) accomplishes joining by means of a concentrated stream of high-velocity electrons
that is formed into a beam to provide a source of intense local heating.
The basic equipment required for most electron beam welding includes a vacuum chamber,
controls, an electron beam gun, a three-phase power supply, an optical viewing system or tracking
device, and work-handling equipment. The operation of this equipment may be either
semiautomatic or automatic.
Electron beam welding is illustrated schematically in below figure. When very high voltage is
applied to electron gun, it induces very high velocity electrons in all the directions. By using
magnetic lense or magnetic deflector, all this high velocity electrons will be collected and formed

like beam of electrons. When this beam of elctrcrons are impinging on to the work, the kinetic
energy of electrons is converted into heat energy. This heat energy is used to produce the joint.
The electron welding beam process can focus the beam onto a minute spot approximately 0.04 in.
(1 mm) in diameter. As the metal is bombarded by the electrons, the rapid heating produces a vapor
hole surrounded by the molten metal that forms the weld. The molten metal flows to the rear of the
vaporized hole and coalesces as the workpiece or beam is moved along the joint. The vacuum, if
one is used, provides very effective shielding from the atmosphere. Even a moderate vacuum
provides better protection from oxidation than inert gas shielding from a nozzle. Precise control of
travel along the joint is required for full weld penetration.

If the speed is too fast, however, joint penetration may be less than 100%, and porosity may occur
near the weld depth termination. If the travel speed is too slow, the molten metal around the
keyhole fails to coalesce, and no joining takes place. It is also important to note that when welding
thick sections of some alloys, magnetic fields cause the beam to curve away from the joint. In this
case, the weld will not fully penetrate, and the lower portion of the joint will not be welded.
Electron beam welding has its limitations, however. First, the capital costs associated with this
process are substantially higher than those incurred with arc welding equipment, though unit cost is
competitive when production volume is high. When performing electron beam welding in a
moderate vacuum or no vacuum, atmospheric molecules quickly dissipate the beam energy. This
phenomenon may make electron beam welding less desirable than other processes with
considerably smaller capital investments.
In addition, in the high vacuum and medium vacuum variations, a significant amount of pump-
down time is incurred while placing the parts in a vacuum chamber, though welding in a medium
vacuum involves less pump-down time than the high vacuum process. As they require a vacuum
chamber, the high and medium vacuum processes are limited with respect to the size of parts that
can be welded. Production speed can be augmented by increasing the size of the vacuum chambers
to permit them to accommodate more workpieces. Another option to increase productivity is the
use of chambers in a circular, or carousel, arrangement. After the workpiece is loaded into the
carousel, it is sent at timed intervals through the chambers, where the vacuum becomes

: 62 : ESE ‐17 _ Conventional Paper – 2

progressively higher. In the final chamber, the desired vacuum is attained, and the workpiece is
welded.
When performing electron beam welding in a vacuum, porosity and spatter can be caused by the
evolution of gas as the metal is melted by the beam, a phenomenon known as outgassing. When the
evolving gas causes the ejection of molten drops of metal that scatter over the work surface, the
solidified drops take the form of spatter. It is important to keep the workpiece clean in order to
minimize outgassing. In the presence of a vacuum, the gases and impurities present in the material
evolve during welding, causing the workpiece and the chamber to become coated with residue.
In non-vacuum electron beam welding, the vacuum is used only to create the electron beam.
Therefore, the weldment size is not limited to the size of a vacuum chamber. However, penetration
capability is much lower, and shielding gas is required. In addition, as a vacuum chamber fails to
provide protection from the X-radiation emitted by the beam, more contamination occurs. Thus,
operators must control the process remotely from outside the required radiation enclosure.
Personnel must be protected from the ozone and other noxious gases produced during the non-
vacuum process.

(ii) Describe with neat sketch the method of cold drawing of a wire or a bar. (10 M)

Sol: Cold Wire Drawing:


The operation of producing wire from the solid rod by pulling through stationary die is called as
“wire drawing operation.”

L 2 to 5 m

Fig: Wire Drawing Process

Zone – I (Deformation zone):


→ What ever the deformation required for converting rod into wire is obtained in zone-1 only it is
called as “deformation zone”. i.e., inlet cross section of the zone equal rod cross section or exit
cross section equal to wire cross section.
 2  = die angle (or) deformation angle
= 12 (Hard material) to 48 (soft material)
 L = Length of deformation zone
or

→ During the drawing operation because of presence of friction are the interface of die or surface
of the wire, the backward frictional force is acting the inclined plane. This frictional force can be
resolved into two components.

1. Horizontal component of frictional force: It will increases the drawing stresses applied the front
side.
2. Vertical component of frictional force: It will try to damage of failure the die.
Zone – II: (Lubricating zone):-
To reduced the above the friction force, it required to reduced friction at inter the face for the
lubricating must be used in at the drawing operating. Whatever lubricant required in the drawing
operation will be supplied only zone-2. Hence, zone-2 also called as “lubricating zone”.
(i) No-lubricant: When no lubricant is used, the friction is high, Heat generation and temperature
is high. Hence the surface of wire produced is like a black or burnt type of the colour.
(ii) Liquid Lubricant: - (Metallic or Dull surface)
When the liquid lubricant are used, it is reduced the friction, heat generation and temperature
and produces the surface of the wire like a metallic or dull surface.
Commonly liquid lubricants are SAE oils, mineral oils, vegetable oils, Kerosene etc.
Kerosene will be used during wire drawing operation of highly reactive materials like Al, Mg,
etc. This Kerosene will form a protective layer on this surface of reactive metals from
environmental corrosion/oxide layer.
(iii) Solid Powdered Lubricant: - (Bright shining surface or silvery surface)
When solid powdered lubricant is used, it is reducing the friction, Heat generation and
temperature and it also produces microscopic scratch on the wire surface and it will make the
appearance the wire surface like a bright shining or silvery surface.
→ The commonly powdered are used, glass powder, carbon powder, graphite powder etc.

Zone – III:- (Sizing zone)


It is a constant cross section zone and it is cross section area equal to exit cross section area of the
wire. The zone is used for maintaining the size of the wire, therefore it is called as “sizing zone”
This is used for converging elastic deformation present in the plastic deformation zone into plastic
deformation. If sizing zone is not used, the size of wire obtained greater than the exist size of the
zone-I. The length of sizing zone will be about 2-5 meters.

Zone – IV: (Exit zone (or) safety zone):-
When the lubricant in wire drawing, is passing through the interface, it is a experiencing high
pressure and high temperature. When this high pressure lubricant coming out from the zone – III
due to high pressure is falling through the front side body, due to high temperature is damaged in
the front side body. To avoid this a divergent zone is provided exit zone and it is closed by using a
cover so that lubricant will be collected in the divergent zone and it will be drained out after wards.
Because it is used for safety, it is called as “Safety zone”.
If the lubricant are not used in the drawing operation, it is not necessary used for the zone-IV.

(b) (i) The dimensions of the mating parts according to the hole system are given below :
Hole 30.0 mm Shaft 29.98 mm
30.05mm 29.94mm
Find the hole tolerance, shaft tolerance and allowance. (10 M)

Sol: H.hole = 30.05 mm,


L. hole = 30 mm
H. shaft = 29.98 mm
L. shaft = 29.94 mm
Hole tolerance = 30.05 – 30 = 0.05 mm
Shaft tolerance = 29.98 – 29.94 = 0.04 mm
Allowance = The difference between the maximum material limits of hole and shaft
= L.hole – H.shaft = 30 – 29.98 = 0.02 mm

(ii) Illustrate and describe through a linking flow diagram, the elements of a CIM system for
integrating CAD/CAM including latest communication technology to all the operational
functions and information processing in manufacturing. (10 M)

Sol: Computer – Integrated Manufacturing


Computer – integrated manufacturing includes all of the engineering functions of CAD/CAM, but
it also includes the firm’s business functions that are related to manufacturing. The ideal CIM

system applies computer and communications technology to all the operational functions and
information processing functions in manufacturing from order receipt through design and
production to product shipment. The scope of CIM, compared with the more limited scope of
CAD/CAM, is depicted in figure (a).
The CIM concept is that all of the firm’s operations related to production are incorporated in an
integrated computer system to assist, augment, and automatic the operations. The computer system
is pervasive throughout the firm, touching all activities that support manufacturing. In this
integrated computer system, the output of one activity serves as the input to the next activity,
through the chain of events that starts with the sales order and culminates with shipment of the
product. The components of the integrated computer system are illustrated in figure (b).

Customer orders are initially entered by the company’s sales force or directly by the customer into
a computerized odder entry system. The orders contain the specifications describing the product.
The specifications serve as the input to the product design department. New products are designed
on a CAD system. The components that comprise the product are designed, the bill of materials is
compiled, and assembly drawings are prepared. The output of the design department serves as the
input to manufacturing engineering, where process panning, tool design, and similar activities are
accomplished to prepare for production. Many of these manufacturing engineering activities are
supported by the CIM system. Process planning is performed using CAPP.

Toll and fixture design is done on a CAD system, making use of the product model generated
during product design. The output from manufacturing engineering provides the input to
production planning and control, where material requirements planning and scheduling are
performed using the computer system, and so it goes, through each step in the manufacturing
cycle. Full implementation of CIM results in the automation of the information flow though every
aspect of the company’s organization.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP), which refers to a software system that integrates the data and
operations of a company through a central data base. In effect, ERP implements computer-
