    1-. What is meant b" )ost#,a; method

    )his method involves the use of e%pandable pattern surrounded with a shell of refractory material to

    form the casting mould. Casting is formed by pouring the molten metal in the mould cavities created by

    melting out the pattern. Since the pattern made of wa% is melted out and gets destroyed, that is why the name

    lostwa% method.

    11. 4iscuss the 7arious Inspection methods to defects in castings.

    )he various inspection and testing procedures may be classed as follows

    1. 0isua) Inspection

    /isual inspection of castings can reveal many of the common surface defects such as misrun, crac&s

    and warping etc. )his method is very common and is applicable both in piece and mass production of

    castings. )he inspection is carried out in two steps prior to cleaning and annealing and then after the final

    finishing operation.

    $eometric dimensions of castings are chec&ed by means of measuring tools such as plug and snap

    gauges, template gauges, mar&ed out plates and special alliances, to establish whether the dimensions of the

    casting conform to the drawing or not and to ma&e certain that the pattern and core bo%es are correct. )he

    deviations of dimensions should not e%ceed the permissible limits.

    '. !eta))urgica) ontro)

    2nder this the chemical composition and the mechanical and other properties are determined in a

    laboratory.

    )he chemical composition of castings is chec&ed by the methods of chemical and spectral analysis.

    9or this, the test pieces are commonly cast on test bars, that is, cast integral with the casting, or separately

    cast test specimens prepared for chec&ing strength properties.

    )he strength or mechanical tests include test in bending, tension, hardness, compression shear and

    creep.

    *. Pressure Testing

    )his test is carried out on those castings to be used for conveying li+uids or gases. )he castings are

    chec&ed for pressure tightness or impermeability and lea&age. )he tests include water or air pressure tests.

    #n water pressure test, the casting is held under a certain pressure of water, the test pressure depends

    on the conditions under which the casting has to function. )he outer surface of the casting must be dry,

    otherwise it will not be possible to detect the traces of lea&age, if any.

    #n the air pressure test, a soap solution is applied to the surface of the casting. !hen the casting is

    subHected to air pressure testing, bubbles will appear on the surface showing the place of lea&age, if any.

    -. Radio graphica) Testing

    #nternal defects in a casting such as crac&s, voids, cavities and porosity etc., as well as surface crac&scan be revealed by radiographic inspection using %rays and rays.

    #n %ray testing ;figure< short wave length rays from an %ray tube are passed through a casting andrecorded on a special film held against the opposite face of the casting. #f the casting has an internal defect,

    the density of the material at that spot will be less as compared to the surrounding material. )his area will

    allow more penetration of the rays, that is, the sections of the casting with crac&s cavities will absorb a

    smaller amount of %rays as compared to fully dense material. )his will result in the appearance of a dar&

    shadow on the %ray tube is a high voltage source 66 &/ for casting thic&ness upto 76 mm and ( million

    volts for thic&ness form 76 to (G6 mm.

    ray testing is used for chec&ing heavy walled casings since these rays are more penetrating and less

    scattering as compared to %rays. ray radiate from 0adium or its salts contained in a capsule. Another

    source can be radio active element CoD6.

    /. !agnetic Testing

    #n this method, the casting to be tested is magnetized and then place between the poles of an

    electromagnet or in the magnetic field of a solenoid coil. )he energized coil is now moved along the casing.

    #f the coil comes across a defect on its way, the magnetic flu% changes its direction and induces an emf in

    the coil turns, the value of which shows up on the galvanometer.

    )he method can detect defects ;crac&s< on the surface or slightly below the surface of a casting.

    )hus, it supplements the radiographical methods which ordinarily can not detect small crac&s. owever, the

    method can be applied to castings made from ferromagnetic metals.

    %. !agnetic Partic)e testing

    )his method of inspection is a procedure used to determine the presence of defects at or near the

    surface of ferromagnetic castings.

    )he method is based on the principle that, if an obHect is magnetized, surface crac&s and voids in the

    material, which are at an angle to the magnetic lines of force, interrupts the magnetic field which gets

    distorted. )hat is, there is an abrupt change in the path of a magnetic flu% lea&age field and hence

    interference with the magnetic lines of force. )he magnetic lines spread out in order to detour around the

    interruptions, figure. )his interference is detected and hence the shape and size of the crac& or void isrevealed, by the application of a fine powder of magnetic material, which tends to pile up around and bridge

    over the discontinuities. A surface crac& is indicated by a line of the fine particles following the outline of

    the crac&.

    )he magnetic powder may consist of fine iron filings, but 9eB4is preferred which is ground to pass

    a (66mesh sieve. A variation of the method is that the magnetic particles are prepared with a fluorescent

    coating. #nspection will be carried out under 2./. light to intensify the effect. 1very crac& will be mar&ed

    by a glowing indication.

    !hen the plain magnetic powder is used, the trade name of the method is *Magnaflu%, but when

    magnetic particles with a fluorescent coating are used, the method is called *Magnaflow or *Magnaglo.

    )he powder may be applied dry or wet. 9or the dry method, the powder is applied in the form of a

    cloud or spray. #n the wet method, the powder is suspended in a low viscosity, noncorrosive fluid such as

    &erosene oil ;(66 g of magnetic powder in about 7( of 3.oil

    which is supplied with a high fre+uency current. #t induces an electric field in the casting. )he field

    changes in the presence of surface or near surface defects. )hese changes show up on instruments.

    :. (iquid penetrant Inspection

    )his method can reveal surface defects only but can be used for any material. )he surface of thecasting is thoroughly cleaned and dried. )hen the li+uid penetrants are applied as sprays or by immersion.

    )he penetrant li+uid contains either a material which will fluoresce under blac& light or a dye that can be

    visually detected. )he li+uid penetrant will be readily drawn into e%tremely small surface crac&s. )he

    surface is cleaned and dried. )hen, a powder material called a *developer is sprayed on the surface. )he

    penetrant trapped in defects bleeds out due to blotting action and delineate defects during development. )he

    penetrant e%tent of the discontinuity in the casting surface will be proportional to the amount of penetrant

    bleeding out. #f a fluorescent penetrant is used, defects show up as glowing yellow green dots or lines

    against a dar& bac& ground. #n dye penetrants, defects are revealed as red dots or lines against a white

    bac&ground.

    1-. ;p)ain the different t"pes of pattern materia)s and their ad7antages and disad7antages.

    a& Wood. )he wood used for pattern ma&ing should be properly dried and seasoned. #t should not contain

    more than (6@ moisture to avoid warping and distortion during subse+uent drying. #t should be straight

    coats of water proof varnishes and paints.

    )he following types of wood are commonly used for pattern ma&ing

    ;i< White Pine. #t is the most widely used wood, because of its straight grain and light weight and

    because it is soft, easy to wor& and unli&ely to wrap.

    ;ii< !ahogan". #t is harder and more durable than white pins. Can be wor&ed easily if straight

    "uffing is a final operation to improve the polish of a metal and to bring out the ma%imum luster.

    "uffing is a fre+uent operation prior to plating.

    #n buffing, the rubbing action is more gentle than the vigorous and aggressive cutting action

    employed in polishing.

    "uffing removes negligible amount of metal. )he size of the wor& is changed very little, sometimes,

    6.667 to 6.66:7 mm.

    "asically, buffing flows or smears the surface metal. #t ta&es the pea&s and flows them into valleys.

    )his gives a mirror E li&e polish.

    "uffing does not maintain flatness or roundness. #t is used only to obtain very smooth reflective

    surfaces.

    "uffing is usually confined to the non E ferrous metals, such as aluminum, copper, brass and zinc

    alloy die castings, stainless steel, chromium and nic&el plate, etc.

    ;v< )he safety rules should not be so broad or general in nature than they have no real meaning to

    employees.

    Bnce the above points are given due consideration in the formation of safety rules and realizing that

    the safety rules have a substantial impact on the safety of an individual or the entire wor& force and that a

    single violation might place the safety of many employees in Heopardy, the necessary disciplinary action

    should be ta&en against those who brea& these rules.

    Some of the general safety rules are listed below which have been formulated not as restrictive

    measures but as guides to wor&ers and supervisors in their cooperative efforts to prevent accidents.

    ;i< Smo&ing should be strictly prohibited.

    ;ii< Acts li&e running, tripping others intentionally, throwing things, directing compressed air at others,

    or such acts which may startle or distract other employees should not be tolerated.

    ;iii< Personal protective e+uipment such as safety glasses and respirators, provided on certain Hobs

    1. 3ot 4ipping< ot dipping coatings can be used for coating signaling point metals such as iron and

    steel, zinc, tin, lead and an alloy of lead and tin called terne.

    )he coating metal should be of such a composition that it forms an alloy at the interface between the

    base metal and the coating. #f the coating does not form an alloy, precoating with a metal which alloys both

    with a base and the principal coating can be used.

    2. a)7anising. #t is the name given to the coating of zinc by hot dipping. )he +uality of the coating is

    directly related to its thic&ness which is measured in gms.8mof surface for all products e%cept sheet

    where it is measured in gms.8mof sheets (2 sides).

    Heavy coatings of zinc are most easily applied by hot dipping than electrolytically. The purity of

    zinc affects its bonding property and the appearance of the coating, and besides that it has no effect. So

    here bonding does not matter, lo grades of zinc be used.

    !t is mainly used in roofing, ire fencing for gardens, etc., buc"ets an ater cans, steel pipes and for

    struggle purposes e#posed to atmosphere.

    '. Tin P)ating. Tin plating has a pleasing appearance, good corrosion in resistance and it solders ell.

    $opper ire is very often tin%plated to increase its suitability for soldering. This coating is usually

    applied by hot dipping before the ire has been dran don to final diameter and the subse&uent

    operations dra don the copper and tin coating together.

    The various applications of tin plating include tin cans for food, biscuit%tins, "itchen utensils, copper

    ire, copper tube used in refrigerator.

    *. (ead oating< The lead coatings for hot dipping process contain 2 '2 tin and 2 of antimony, thepresence of hich strengthens the coatings considerably. The coatings used generally are thic"er than

    terms but thinner than zinc. To compensate for the dra bac" of poor adhesion of coatings lead has

    decided advantage because it does not alloy ith steel. The steel is not embrittled and can be used for

    deep draing etc. !t ta"es paints and solders ell. To obtain the best possible adhesion, the steel

    must be perfectly cleaned before coating.

    ;ii< All clamping and binding devices should be as +uic& acting as possible.

    ;iii< #n selection of locating points, it must be ensured that two component parts of a machine can be

    Locating elements help in placing the wor&piece in essentially, the same position every time again

    and again. )hese provide a reference point from which all sizing or spacing can be accomplished. )hese

    establish desired relationship between wor&piece and Hig and fi%ture. )he purpose of the locators is to

    restrict the three degrees of freedom of translation and the three degrees of freedom of rotation in order to

    provide points of reference. )he surface condition of the wor&piece to be located e%erts a great a great

    influence on the form of the locator, e.g. finished surfaces can be located on a plane but a rough surface is

    located on a few points of contact as deemed necessary for ability of the part. owever, a plane is generallynot used even though a highly finished and true surface is available as a reference surface because of the

    danger of misalignment due to minute chip particle or dust, 2sually parts are located on three points which

    form a plane, the introduction of more points though offers greater stability , but may introduce the ris& of

    unevenness with the lane formed by three points.

    )he type of locator selected for a particular application is largely a function of the shape of the

    wor&piece and more particularly the shape of the reference surface. )he various type sof locators are

    described below.

    large e%tent, determines the form , placement and magnitude of the clamping force employed. #f the entire

    top surface is to be machined then a side clamp must be used which e%erts both the horizontal and vertical

    forces in order to assure a firm holding action. !or&pieces of fragile nature limit the magnitude of the

    clamping force. 0ough surfaces permit the either holddown pins that dig into the wor& or serratedfaced

    clamps that gives more positive holding action.

    important that screws should not be used to perform double function of locating and holding.

    !here several pieces are to be placed in a fi%ture or Hig, they should be located independently

    and not against the other.

    ;iv< Wear #t further adds to variations. As far as possible, wearresistant materials should be

    used for parts subHect to wear on fi%tures Hig, etc. #n the design , wearing surfaces should be

    &ept as small as possible without sacrificing too much durability. !ear consideration

    demands bigger locating surfaces but locating surfaces should have small area which results

    in advantages of less time for cleaning, reduced change of lodgment of chips or dirt,

    providing more realistic approach to the mean plane of a rough surface, saving in material

    and labour . Sliding over the locators during clamping should be avoided. As far as possible,

    provisions must be made to overcome variations due to wear. )he wear allowance is madeon gauges also.

    ;v< 4ef)ection./ariations in materials, speeds and feeds bring about changes in deflection which

    results in varaiation of wor&pieces. 'eflection cannot be eliminated but it can be reduced to

    minor proportions to obtain wor&piece dimension within tolerance. 9orces causing deflection

    may come from handling, clamping or cutting action. Positive measure must be ta&en to

    protect against deflection. 9or this purpose, claps should rever be applied on an

    overchanging section of the wor&piece and should bear directly over fi%ed locating resets or

    stops. Btherwise the clamping forces should be opposed by adHustable supports. )he devices

    employed as reinforcements against deflection themselves should not introduce additional

    supports. )he device employed provide ade+uate provisions to limit operator from applying

    e%cessive force in applying the support. Supports should be designed to directly oppose the

    forces. Ade+uate holding devices should be arranged so that deflection including forces are

    transmitted to rigid basic members. All clamping strain should be ta&en care of within a

    fi%ture and not transmitted to the table of the machine.

    ;vi< Therma) e;pansion. #t can affect variations and occurs due to heat generated during cutting

    operation. #t effect is more pronounced when two dissimilar metals are involved. )he

    temperature differential should be minimized by adopting sharp tools of proper shape,

    including provisions for heat dissipitation from tools and machine and employing and

    employing controlled room temperature.

    ;vii< 4irt@ chips and burrs.)hese directly interfere with wor&piece location, positioning and

    gauging. 9or this, sharp corners should be avoided between locating surface as they catchdust and are hard to clean. Locating surface should be free for cleaning purpose.

    ;viii< 3uman deficiencies. Many devices have been developed to multigate the effects of human

    deficiencies. -igs and fi%tures should be designed to provide means of achieving desired

    accuracy with least s&ill and effort on part of operator.
