Carburization

Gas Carburizing Processis a surface chemistry process, which improves the case
depth hardness of a component by diffusing carbon into the surface layer to improve
wear and fatigue resistance.

Initially the low carbon row material contains around 0.15% carbon. During
carburization the carbon % is increased up to 1.2%. The process takes place in Gas
Carburizing Furnace where the row material comes into contact with CP mixture at
940 to 980c for about 9 to 10 hours. i.e. for adding 0.9% carbon the row material is
exposed to the gas mixture for 8 + 1 hours for the last 1 hours the gas mixture is lean.

There are total 7 GC machines 2 out of which are automatic. Blowers are used to cool
down the carburized material.

Face Grinding

Two grinding wheels rotating in opposite directions with same speed so that both the
faces can be grounded simultaneously.

A diamond point tool is used for dressing the grinding wheel as it wears out due to
continuous working and looses its shape. A coolant is used to prevent the heat
generation due to grinding.

Track Grinding

IZUMI KN 312 is used for track grinding of inner race. A large diameter grinding
wheel, having proper shape for track grinding, rotates at high speed. Inner race is fed
through a channel in the machine and clamped in magnetic chuck. Grinding wheel
then moves towards the race and grounds it. After grinding, grinding wheel moves
back and race comes out through another channel.

Grinding on surface is maintained through a MARPOSS GAUGE. A skilled operator sets

this electric gauge according to the required finished size. It consists of a thin
resistance wire which is connected to a diamond point tool. After rough grinding of
the job surface, this tool comes automatically in surface contact. As the metal is
removed continuously by grinding wheel, this diamond point tool moves in the
direction of Depth of Cut and this movement increases the length and resistance of
wire as well, related to the number appeared on the screen, shows the limit of
grinding. Machines are connected with PLCs for automatic control.

Bore Grinding

The bore of the inner race is also grounded in the similar fashion. The diameter of
grinding wheel is slightly less than that of bore. Rest is similar to outer race track
grinding.

Bore Grinding

Track Honning

It is the process super finishing the surface of the tracks. Types of

stones are used for rough and final finishing. They are made of
aluminium oxide and chromium oxide respectively. These stones
rub the surface of the track giving it a polished look.

The job is held against the face of grinding wheel by the combination of
supporting rest and a regulating wheel. Both wheels rotate in the same direction,
but the speed of regulating wheel is very less than grinding wheel. Grinding
wheel rotates about its horizontal axis during working process. The work piece is
supported on a work rest blade and regulating wheel which hold it against the
horizontal force of action controlling its size. Relational and longitudinal feed are
given to the races. The edge of the work rest blade is beveled, so it makes a v
formation with the regulating wheel, when races are set. A roller of very small
diameter compared to its length is provided for loading of the races. This rotates
at very slow speed in the same direction of rotation to that of regulating wheel.
Work pieces are loaded manually on this roller.

Track Grinding

CINCINNATI MILACRON machine consists of a grinding wheel smaller in

diameter than outer race track diameter. Initially, race is clamped in a
chuck through a channel and then wheel enters into race according to
feed. Race is supported by bush and backing plate. Now wheel reciprocates
along the direction of its axis.

Track Honning

It is the process super finishing the surface of the tracks. Types of stones are used for
rough and final finishing. They are made of aluminium oxide and chromium oxide
respectively. These stones rub the surface of the track giving it a polished look.

Assembly

INSPECTION AND CHECKING PROCESS: - The inner and outer races of bearing
job are inspected by the respective automation control machine for outer
diameter, track (inner and outer diameter). After this process the outer and inner
parts of bearing are matched properly and inner is placed inside the outer part of
the bearing.

BALL FILLING PROCESS: - The balls are filled in between the inner and outer part of
bearings by a ball filling machine.

CAGE ASSEMBLING:- During this process the plane and RI is assembled with the help of
riveting machine

DEMAGNETIZATION OPERATION: - The bearing so obtained is passed through a

demagnetor which reduces the magnetic effects of the job.

WASHING PROCESS: - The bearing is washed with white kerosene oil washing machine.

CHECKING OF VISUAL FAULTS: - The berating is now checked for defaults like black
face, bad riveting, double stamping, pin missing etc.

REWASHING PROCESS: - The bearing is again washed with white kerosene oil so as two
removed the dust particles.

ITCHING OPERATION: - The tag or name of company can be printed by the itching
machine through laser light.

LUBRICATING PROCESS: - The bearing is now lubricated with grease.

PACKING PROCESS: - Finally the bearing is packed with some poly material.

5-S PLAN

WHAT IS 5-S

Many people think house keeping should be done by house wives at

home and cleaners at the workplace. They do not realize that they too
play an important role in keeping their houses/workplaces clean. More
importantly, they do not know how much they can gain themselves by
just practicing, good house keeping. The 5-S extra the virtues of
tidiness orderliness and cleanliness at all times and at every place.
These account for the clinically clean shop floors and also in their
personal habits. It is the practice of good house keeping.

The term 5S represents 5 Japanese words

1. Seiri

2. Seition

3. Seiso

4. Seiketsu

5. Shitsuke

5-S PLAN

Let us look at each word, understand what it means, and how it can apply to us.

SEIRI

Take out unnecessary items and throw them away.

SEITON

Arrange necessary items in a proper order so that

they can be easily picked up for use.

SEISO

Clean your work place completely so that there is no

dust anywhere

SEIKETSU

Maintain a high standard of house keeping and work

place organization at all times

SHITSUKE

Train people to follow good house keeping disciplines

independently.

The factory is very much planned. All sections can work independently by with the unmark able
mutual co-operation.

What I Learned

MAINTENANCE & ELECTRICAL

The name of this section itself suggests that the purpose of this is to maintain the
machines in the proper running position. In this section, damaged or broken parts are
either repaired or replaced by new ones produced in the shop itself. For this purpose
section is equipped with various types of machines. For making any part of machine first
blue prints are made and then experienced skilled persons manufacture it on these
machines.

The various types of maintenance are as follows

Preventive maintenance
Running breakdown maintenance

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
It is general checking of the machine in which all defects of the machine, due to which it is not
running properly, are eliminated.
The following defects of the machine are observed
Cleaning
Lubrication Oil level, lubrication line to check and repair, oil line to all points
Pneumatic system air filter to be cleaned, lubrication to be checked
Checking of brakes, slides, gears, belts etc.

RUNNING BREAKDOWN MAINTENANCE

When any machine stops suddenly, it is required to eliminate the defect instantly, and for this
purpose running breakdown maintenance is done.

Learnings In Industrial Training

Industrial Training is definitely a place where we learn things that

will prepare us for working life.

How to apply what we have learned in practical terms.

We learn soft skills and people skills too.

Learn to handle people and work pressure.

Learn to cope the daily routine working lifestyle.

We think that we really need to learn to shut up and speak only of

the necessary

We met to the people from the company and what do the

conversations revolve around? Work work work.
