The manufacturing of any system involves a series of mechanical process.
Each part is manufactured using a different mechanical process such as
casting, machining, drawing, joining etc. After the parts are manufactured,
they must be sent for various hardening process annealing, carbonizing etc.
depending on the material used.
Various mechanical processes involved
Casting
In this process the new part is formed from the melting of the metal, and
then it is subjected to flow into the mold cavity where it takes the required
shape and is allowed to solidify.
Parts such as vanes, casing and shafts in the draft fans are manufactured
by this process.
The metal formed in this process is usually of the uniform characteristics.
The metal grains are uniformly distributed in the metal.
Machining
In this type the already existed part of a system or a part that is taken from
the casting process is used in order to make a new part.
Machining process uses various machine tools such as lathe, planer,
shaper, milling machine etc. and they require electric power.
The ends and corners of the draft system are to be chambered in order to
prevent any cuts to the human.
Some parts of the system such as vanes of the fan are machined in order
to maintain or remove the excess material on the vanes.
Joining
This process is of two types permanent joining or temporary joining.
Temporary joining involves nuts and bolt fitting whereas permanent
joining includes riveted joints, weld joints etc.
In draft system bolt and nut joints are seen in removable or frequent
replaceable parts. For foundation support of the system, we use eye bolt.
Welds are used for permanent joining. Parts which are broken or very big
in size are welded together to get a single unit.
Riveted joints serve the same purpose as the welded joints. But in riveted
joints a piece of the metal is used which combines the two distant pieces
in a single shape by the application of pressure. This is done with casing
when it comes in two different parts.
Metal hardening process
There are many metal hardening processes such as annealing, carbonizing
etc. The final outputs of the casting process may not have good strength
so these processes will provide the necessary hardening support to the
parts.
We use different hardening processes with different metals.
Parts of the draft system which are made of steels under go annealing
process.
The parts such as casing are made of steel which are to be annealed
The manufacturing process of the parts is important because the use of an
accurate process will make it easy for understanding which type of repair is
appropriate for the given part of the system.
