Assignment-VI (Spring 2022)

Program/Class: BSME/B1- (A, B) Submission Date: June 22, 2022


Subject: Manufacturing Processes Course Code: MEE-312
Total Time Allowed: 10 Days Maximum Marks: 40

Question 1 [CLO-2, PLO-7, C2] (10 Marks)

Two flat copper sheets (each 1.0 mm thick) are being spot-welded by the use of a current of 7000 A and a current flow
time of 0.3 s. The electrodes are 4 mm in diameter. Estimate the heat generated in the weld zone for sustainable
manufacturing. Assume that the resistance is 200 𝜇𝛺.

Question 2 [CLO-3, PLO-8, C3] (20 Marks)

Write a brief answer to the following questions.


a) Explain why safety considerations for the welding process are so important in the manufacturing process?
b) If expanded honeycomb panels were to be machined in a form-milling operation, what list precautions would
you take to keep the sheet metal from buckling due to tool forces?
c) Explain the significance of the stiffness of the components being welded on both weld quality and part shape.
d) Why do manufacturing processes produce parts with a wide range of tolerances? Explain, giving several
examples.

Question 3 [CLO-4, PLO-12, C2] (10 Marks)

A slab-milling operation will take place on a part 300 mm long and 40 mm wide. A helical cutter 75 mm in diameter
with 10 teeth will be used. If the feed per tooth is 0.2 mm/tooth and the cutting speed is 0.75 m/s, determine the
machining time and metal-removal rate for removing 6 mm from the surface of the part for the innovative slab-milling
process.
