Introduction Coal may be black in color but it light’s up about 60% of our country. Coal has been a reliable source of energy for India from years. About 72% of the total coal extracted, goes into generating electricity in coal power plant and it is available in abundance at different locations of India. It
The pattern is the replica of the device which is the output of the casting process. This when molded in sand forms mold. After filling the mold with the molten metal there is a formation of casting. Patterns play a very important role in casting as they decide the quality as well as perfection in
During the casting of metals in the foundry shop we use sand for the preparation of mould. It is the moulding sand properties which improves the quality of the casting metal. If sand of suitable property is chosen, then it greatly minimises the casting defects that may be produced during the mould preparation and casting.
What is Casting Defects? It is an unwanted irregularities that appear in the casting during metal casting process. There is various reason or sources which is responsible for the defects in the cast metal. Here in this section we will discuss all the major types of casting defects. Some of the defects produced may be

Electrochemical machining (ECM) is a machining process in which electrochemical process is used to remove materials from the workpiece. In the process, workpiece is taken as anode and tool is taken as cathode. The two electrodes workpiece and tool is immersed in an electrolyte (such as NaCl). When the voltage is applied across the two
Ultrasonic Machining (USM) is a non-traditional machining process that utilizes high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations combined with an abrasive slurry to remove material from a workpiece. It is particularly useful for machining hard and brittle materials like ceramics, glass, and semiconductors, where conventional methods may be ineffective. This blog explores the working principle, components, advantages, limitations, and
