MANUFACTURING PROCESS - REVERBERATORY FURNACE


REVERBERATORY FURNACE

A FURNACE OR KILN IN WHICH THE MATERIAL UNDER TREATMENT IS HEATED INDIRECTLY BY MEANS OF A FLAME DEFLECTED DOWNWARD FROM THE ROOF. REVERBERATORY FURNACES ARE USED IN OPPER, TIN, AND NICKEL PRODUCTION, IN THE PRODUCTION OF CERTAIN CONCRETES AND CEMENTS, AND IN ALUMINUM. REVERBERATORY FURNACES HEAT THE METAL TO MELTING TEMPERATURES WITH DIRECT FIRED WALL-MOUNTED BURNERS. THE PRIMARY MODE OF HEAT TRANSFER IS THROUGH RADIATION FROM THE REFRACTORY BRICK WALLS TO THE METAL, BUT CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER ALSO PROVIDES ADDITIONAL HEATING FROM THE BURNER TO THE METAL. THE ADVANTAGES PROVIDED BY REVERBERATORY MELTERS IS THE HIGH VOLUME PROCESSING RATE, AND LOW OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE COSTS. THE DISADVANTAGES OF THE REVERBERATORY MELTERS ARE THE HIGH METAL OXIDATION RATES, LOW EFFICIENCIES, AND LARGE FLOOR SPACE REQUIREMENTS.  



INDUCTION HEATING IS A HEATING METHOD. THE HEATING BY THE INDUCTION METHOD OCCURS WHEN AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL IS PLACED IN A VARYING MAGNETIC FIELD. INDUCTION HEATING IS A RAPID FORM OF HEATING IN WHICH A CURRENT IS INDUCED DIRECTLY INTO THE PART BEING HEATED. INDUCTION HEATING IS A NON-CONTACT FORM OF HEATING. 

THE HEATING SYSTEM IN AN INDUCTION FURNACE INCLUDES:
  1. INDUCTION HEATING POWER SUPPLY,
  2. INDUCTION HEATING COIL,
  3. WATER-COOLING SOURCE, WHICH COOLS THE COIL AND SEVERAL INTERNAL COMPONENTS INSIDE THE POWER SUPPLY.
THE INDUCTION HEATING POWER SUPPLY SENDS ALTERNATING CURRENT THROUGH THE INDUCTION COIL, WHICH GENERATES A MAGNETIC FIELD.  INDUCTION FURNACES WORK ON THE PRINCIPLE OF A TRANSFORMER. AN ALTERNATIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD INDUCES EDDY CURRENTS IN THE METAL WHICH CONVERTS THE ELECTRIC ENERGY TO HEAT WITHOUT ANY PHYSICAL CONTACT BETWEEN THE INDUCTION COIL AND THE WORK PIECE.   THE FURNACE CONTAINS A CRUCIBLE SURROUNDED BY A WATER COOLED COPPER COIL. THE COIL IS CALLED PRIMARY COIL TO WHICH A HIGH FREQUENCY CURRENT IS SUPPLIED. BY INDUCTION SECONDARY CURRENTS, CALLED EDDY CURRENTS ARE PRODUCED IN THE CRUCIBLE. HIGH TEMPERATURE CAN BE OBTAINED BY THIS METHOD. INDUCTION FURNACES ARE OF TWO TYPES: CORED FURNACE AND CORELESS FURNACE. CORED FURNACES ARE USED ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY AS HOLDING FURNACES. IN CORED FURNACE THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD HEATS THE METAL BETWEEN TWO COILS. CORELESS FURNACES HEAT THE METAL VIA AN EXTERNAL PRIMARY COIL. 


ADVANTAGES OF INDUCTION FURNACE
  • INDUCTION HEATING IS A CLEAN FORM OF HEATING
  • HIGH RATE OF MELTING OR HIGH MELTING EFFICIENCY
  • ALLOYED STEELS CAN BE MELTED WITHOUT ANY LOSS OF ALLOYING ELEMENTS
  • CONTROLLABLE AND LOCALIZED HEATING
DISADVANTAGES OF INDUCTION FURNACE
  • HIGH CAPITAL COST OF THE EQUIPMENT
  • HIGH OPERATING COST

  1. Use of electric furnace is the preferred method of heating, since it runs more clean gas than oil or gas heating devices. You can visit this pages for more info.

  2. Reverberatory Furnace is not another sensation. Its first known requisition was recorded in 1672.

APRON MECHANISM IN LATHE

APRON MECHANISM IN LATHE Apron Mechanism: Apron is attached to the carriage and hangs over the front side of the lathe bed. It is useful in providing power and hand feed to both carriage and cross-slide. It is also used to provide power feed to the carriage during thread cutting through two half nuts. The construction of apron is shown in Fig. Fig - Apron Mechanism Construction Power is transmitted from the spindle to the lead screw and feed rod through the spindle gear and tumbler gear arrangement. A worm is mounted on the feed rod by a sliding key. The worm meshes with a worm gear on whose axis another gear G1 is attached. Gear G1 is attached to a small gear G2 by a bracket as shown in the diagram. Gear G4 is positioned to be in mesh with the rack gear always. Another gear G3 is mounted on the same axis of gear G4. The carriage hand wheel meant for longitudinal feed is attached to the gear G5 on the same axis. The gears G3 and G5 are always in mesh. The gear G

Boiler Mountings - Dead Weight Safety Valve

DEAD WEIGHT SAFETY VALVE Function:- A valve is placed upon a valve seat that is fixed upon a long vertical pipe having a flange at the bottom for fixing at the top of the boiler. Suspended at the top of the valve is the weight carrier that carries cast iron rings. The total weight must be sufficient to keep the valve on its seat against the normal working pressure. When the steam pressure exceeds the normal limit, it lifts the valve with its weight & the excess steam escape through the pipe to the outside. This valve is used only with stationary type of boilers. It is the most elementary type of safety valve. The objection to dead weight safety valve is the heavy weight that has to be carried.

SCOPE OF CAD/CAM/CAE

SCOPE OF CAD/CAM/CAE Integrated CAD/CAM/CAE Software like Pro/Engineer, I-DEAS & CATIA help manufacturers optimize product concept early in Design process, enabling them to significantly improve product quality, while reducing product development time and cost. Moreover people having 3D CAD/CAM/CAE knowledge have better chances of growth, immediate employability after completion of course, graduation and chances of jobs abroad. As the market economy opens more and more it has become extremely competitive and with this state of economy, skilled people play the most important role in organization. Hence it becomes imperative on the part of top Tool Room Training centers and Engg. Colleges to especially look for new initiatives towards improving the skills and knowledge of students. An emerging trend of Engg. Education in Tool Room and the world is the rapid incrementation of CAD/CAM/CAE software as an essential part of curriculum. Pic - Scope of CAD/CAM/CAE The prim
