Essential Workshop Tools and Metalworking Techniques

1. Types of Chisels in Fitting Work

Chisels are cutting tools used in fitting work to remove excess metal and shape workpieces. They are typically made of high-carbon steel and used with a hammer.

  • Flat Chisel: Used for general cutting and smoothing surfaces.
  • Cross-cut Chisel: Used for cutting grooves and keyways.
  • Round Nose Chisel: Used for making semicircular grooves.
  • Diamond Point Chisel: Used for making V-shaped grooves and sharp corners.

8 Explain the working principle of Ultrasonic Testing (UT). Describe the differences between The Pulse-Echo Method and the Transmission Method in UT.

Working Principle of Ultrasonic Testing (UT)


 The fundamental principle of UT involves the use of high-frequency sound waves (ultrasonic vibrations) to probe the internal structure of a material.

Generation:


A pulser sends high-voltage electrical pulses to a transducer.

Conversion:


The transducer, containing piezoelectric crystals, converts this electrical

1. Instruments for Angular Measurement

The following four instruments are commonly used for angular measurement:

  • Bevel Protractor: Used for measuring angles between two surfaces with a vernier scale.
  • Sine Bar: Used in conjunction with slip gauges to measure angles accurately based on trigonometry.
  • Angle Gauges: Hardened steel blocks of precise angles used as reference standards.
  • Clinometer: A specialized version of a spirit level used for measuring angles of inclination or slope.

Engineering Metals and Alloys in Construction

Q1. Short Notes (5 Marks Each)

Copper Alloys and Their Properties

Copper alloys are formed by mixing copper with other metals to improve strength, corrosion resistance, and workability.

  • Brass (Cu + Zn): Good corrosion resistance and ductile. Used in fittings, sheets, and decorative items.

  • Bronze (Cu + Sn): Harder and stronger than brass. Used in bearings and statues.

  • Gunmetal (Cu + Sn + Zn): Highly resistant to corrosion and wear. Used in valves and pipes.

  • Cupronickel (Cu + Ni): High resistance to seawater

Q1. Difference Between AC and DC Supply

AC (Alternating Current) Supply: Alternating current is the type of electrical supply in which the magnitude and direction of current change periodically with time. The waveform of AC is usually sinusoidal. AC is used for power transmission because it can be easily stepped up or stepped down using transformers.
