Reduction of Shrinkage-Porosity Defects in Sand Casting Using Finite Element Analysis: A Review
Abstract: Today production of casting is easy but market requirement is quality casting. Earlier casting is made with large no. of defects due to large no. of process parameter in casting process. Specially, to predict phase transformation is very critical. As the problem of automation in process, shortage of skill labour now a days; casting simulation requirement is high and it is identifies defects earlier without making actual casting. This process …

Evaluation of Optimal Parameters for Wire EDM Machine on En45A Alloy Steel using Taguchi and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) Method
Abstract: The core goal of this research paper is to evaluate process parameters of wire electrical discharging machining and to find out the best parameter among the multiple responses given by machine. Wire cut machine is very accurate and precise machine which is actually manufactured to cut those material which have high strength, toughness, and hardness. This machine works on melting property; here spark is generated between the work piece and …

Anodic Polarization Study on Steel Bar in Concrete Powder Solution Extracts Contaminated with Chloride and Sulfate Salts
Abstract: In present work, anodic polarization tests are conducted on different steel specimens to find out corrosion zone potentials of various corrosion zones. The tests are done in the concrete powder solution extracts contaminated with the varying levels of admixed chloride and sulfate salts, at varying w/c ratios and cement types. The admixed chloride content is fixed at 3.5% and the sulfate content is used as 0, 2.5 and 5%, by …

Current Status of Thermal Spray Coatings for High Temperature Corrosion Resistance of Boiler Steel
Abstract: In the thermal power plants, the conventional steels used in boilers are unable to sustain the hot corrosion issues. To reduce the problem of hot corrosion in the boilers, many types of surface coatings have been used in the recent past. Thermal spray techniques have been used to develop these coatings on the components of boilers. Thermal spray coating techniques are important means to develop coatings to increase the corrosion …

Review on Application of Utility Poles for Power Transmission
Abstract: Power transmission is generally carried out using transmission poles of various materials and cross sections. However, their utilization depends on climatic conditions and external loads acting on them. For an electric overhead system, the supports for the conductor and equipment must withstand the forces imposed on them, while the conductors themselves must be sufficiently strong enough to support their own weight and the forces imposed on them. The forces comprise …

Short Circuit MAG/MIG Welding and Fast ROOT Modified Short arc Welding Process for Sheet Metals Welding with Diverse Air Gap
Abstract: The outcome of an analysis allocating with welding of sheet metals with diverse air gap using short circuit MAG welding process and Fast ROOT custom-made short arc welding methods have been presented. Welding turns were made below different conditions and through each run; the diverse process parameters were incessantly observed. It was found that fewer HAZ and maximum welding speed are reached under an exact welding condition with quick ROOT …

Study of Shielded Gases for MIG Welding
Abstract: Protecting shielding gases are inert or semi-inert gasses that are regularly utilized in few welding forms, mostly in gas metal arc welding and gas tungsten arc welding (GMAW and GTAW, more prevalently known as MIG and TIG, respectively). Their purpose is to shield the weld region from oxygen, and water vapour. Contingent upon the materials being welded, these air gases can diminish the quality of the weld or make the …

Two-dimensional Finite Element Analysis of Bolted Flanged Joints
Abstract: A 2D axisymmetric finite element analysis of flanges has been carried out using ANSYS 7.1 version. The analysis consider gasket as a rigid material for contact analysis and the others where the gasket has been considered as a gasket element. The non-linear behaviour with two unloading curves was used to predict the non-linear behaviour. This paper attempts to study and compare the contact pressure, gap, gasket stress and gasket total …
