Note:

Metal pouring defects (mis run and cold shuts) are caused due to following

>>Lower fluidity of the molten metal; remedy: increase pouring temp

>>If the section thickness of the mould is too small; remedy: proper casting design

>>Castings with large surface area to volume ratio

>>Back pressure due to gases in the mould which are not properly vented

Hot tear is caused by unwanted cooling  stress(metals have low strength at high temp)leading to the rupture of the casting, usually caused by poor casting design

Hot spots are caused by chilling of the casting. Proper metallurgical control and chilling practices are essential for eliminating hot spots


syllabus of mech?

Casting:

The internal cracks in casting can be easily found by ultrasonic method

The surface and sub surface cracks in non-magnetic alloys can be easily located and detected by dye-penetratrant testing

The internal hot tear defects in castings can be inspected by radiography

Honey combing/sponginess refers to formation of number of cavities in close proximity in casting

Sand with high moisture content results in scab

Pin holes in casting can occur because of sand with higher moisture content

Rat tails are common in investment casting

Invar is the metal which has negative shrinkage allowance

In case of expendable pattern total casting allowance is P+Q

In case of metal pattern the total allowance is  P+Q+R-S

P:shrinkage allowance, Q:machining allowance, R:draft allowance, S:shake allowance

Silica gel is used in C02 moulding

Best process for mass production of small plastic components is injection moulding

Atomization is the stage , molten metal is used as input in powder metallurgy

The main purpose of chaplets is to support the cores

Investment casting is used for shapes which are very complex and intricate and cannot be cast by any other method

Slush casting: hallow castings like lamp shades

Dry sand moulding: cast iron shoe brake

Centrifugal casting: rain water pipes

What was isro 2015 cutoff for mechanical?

Any one having source for 2006-2012 answer key?

Plz solve

can any one provide key to isro 2006 to 2012

number of force acts on a rigid body each force is replaced by equal and parallel force acting through a fixed point together with a couple for a rigid body to be in equilibrium?  

  • both resultant force and couple must be zero
  • none of above need to be zero
  • the resultant force at fixed point must be zero
  • the resultant couple must be zero

Plz few of u provide exam pattern....subjectwise how much priority isro give to each subject??

also how to go for RAC & IC.couldn't attend classes for them
