Experiment 1
Aim
To study the foundry shop and various casting processes.
Apparatus/Tools
Sand, moulding box, pattern, ladle, crucible, tongs.
Theory
Casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is poured into a mould cavity and allowed to
solidify. Common casting methods include sand casting, die casting, and investment casting.
Procedure
1. Prepare the sand mould using pattern.
2. Assemble the moulding box.
1
3. Pour molten metal into the cavity.
4. Allow it to cool and solidify.
Result
The casting process and foundry tools were studied successfully.
Experiment 2
Aim
To study pattern making tools and different types of patterns.
Tools
Single piece pattern, split pattern, match plate pattern.
Theory
Patterns are replicas of the final product used to prepare mould cavities.
Result
Various types of patterns and their applications were understood.
Experiment 3
Aim
To study welding shop and different welding processes.
Theory
Welding is a joining process where metals are fused by heat with or without pressure.
Types of Welding
• Gas Welding
• Arc Welding
• TIG and MIG Welding
Result
Different welding processes and equipment were studied.
