What is Impression Die - forging ?

 More Complex Shape of greater accuracy cannot be formed by open - die forging techniques. Commonly known as die forging or drop forging, impression - die forging makes use of cavities in special prepared dies to produce forged shapes in large quantities, the finished forged being commercially negatives or duplicates of each other. 

Since the die is not fully closed, it should properly be called an impression die. The term closed-die forging, is nevertheless, often applied, while the term drop forging is sometimes used to denote forging conducted upon a hammer ; but this distinction has no particular merit. 

The die cavity , however, must be filled without defects of material flow, such as could occur when the parts of the workpiece material are punched , folded down or sheared through. A complex shape cannot be filled simply by forging a round or a rectangular bar into the die cavity, and some performing steps are necessary.

The operations may be so close together that it is unnecessary to heat between them. The number of forging steps necessary to produce the finished forging in the impression die is dependent on the size and shape of the forged part, on production quantities, and on the kind of the material being forged.

Generally, when large quantities of identical forgings of greater accuracy are required as is necessary in mass production, impression - die forgings are commonly employed, and where forgings can be made by either of the several methods, the quality is comparable, and the choice is made for economic crisis.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration System :

 Advantages Of  Air Refrigeration : 1. The refrigerant used namely air is cheap and easily available. 2. There is no danger of fire or toxic effects due to leakages. 3. The weight to ton of refrigeration ratio is less as compared to other systems. Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration : 1. The quantity of  Refrigerant used per ton of refrigeration is high as compared to other systems. 2. The COP of the system is very low. Therefore running cost is high. 3. The danger of frosting at the expander valves is more as the air contains moisture content. 

ELECTRICAL COMPARATORS AND ITS WORKING

Electrical Comparators are used as a means of  detecting and amplifying small movements of a work contacting elements. An electrical comparator consists essentially of  a pick-up head or transducer for converting a displacement into a corresponding change in current and a meter or recorder connected in the circuit to indicate the electrical change, calibrated to show in terms of displacement. Generally, an amplifier is needed to provide the requisite sensitivity and to match the characteristics of different parts of  the circuit. Electrical comparators can be classified according to the electrical principle used in the pick-up head. Most of the comparators use either a differential transformer, an inductance bridge, a strain gauge or a capacitor as a means of detecting movement of the gauging element. There are different types of  electrical comparators. One kind called an electrolimit gauge is used to check or measure the outside diameter of a  roll. The objec...

SIMPLE CARBURETOR - CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING

CONSTRUCTION OF SIMPLE CARBURETOR :  The main Components of Simple Carburetor are : Float Chamber, float, nozzle, venturi, throttle valve, inlet valve, and metering jet . In the float chamber, a constant level of petrol is maintained by the float and a needle valve.  The float chamber is ventilated to atmosphere.  This is used to maintain atmospheric pressure inside the chamber. The float which is normally a metallic hollow cylinder rises and closes the inlet valve as the fuel level in the float chamber increases to certain level. The mixing chamber contains venturi, nozzle and throttle valve. The venturi tube is fitted with the inlet  manifold. This tube has a narrow opening called venturi. A nozzle is provided just below the centre of this venturi. The nozzle keeps the same level of petrol as that of the level in the float chamber. The mixing chamber has two butterfly valves.  One is to allow air into the mixing chamber known as choke valve. The other is to al...
