PROJECTION WELDING - STUD WELDING AND ITS PROCESS

Projection welding is a modification of spot welding. The current and pressure are localized at the weld section by the use of the embossed, machined or coined projections on one or both pieces of the work. The flattening out of these projections under pressure results in good welds at all points of contact. 

Projection welding applies to nearly all the metal combinations that can be spot welded, but the design  must be strong enough to support the projection. Annular, or ring projections are often used on screw machine parts such as bosses and studs which are to be welded to sheets up to approximately 3 mm thick. For thicker sheets a dome type of projection seems to work out better. 

Only clean, scale free surfaces should be used in projection welding. A dirty substance will cause much variation in the resistance between the parts being joined, with resulting variation in current flow and weld strength.

Line projection welds are recommended over a point welds when sections are subject to heavy static and dynamic loads. 

Projection for welding is made on sheet metal, cast, forged or machined parts. A variation is called stud welding. A stud with its ends rounded is held in one electrode and pressed against its mating while current flows to heat the weld. The effect of projection welding is obtained with crossed wires, such as might be welded together into a grill.

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...
