CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

SIWES was established by ITF in 1973 to solve the problem of lack of ade!ate

practical skills preparatory for employment in ind!stries by "i#erian #rad!ates

of tertiary instit!tions$

The Scheme e%poses st!dents to ind!stry based skills necessary for a smooth

transition from the classroom to the world of work$ It affords st!dents of tertiary

instit!tions the opport!nity of bein# familiari&ed and e%posed to the needed

e%perience in handlin# machinery and e!ipment which are !s!ally not

available in the ed!cational instit!tions$

'articipation in Ind!strial Trainin# is a well(known ed!cational strate#y$

)lassroom st!dies are inte#rated with learnin# thro!#h hands(on work

e%periences in a field related to the st!dent*s academic ma+or and career #oals$

S!ccessf!l internships foster an e%periential learnin# process that not only

promotes career preparation b!t provides opport!nities for learners to develop

skills necessary to become leaders in their chosen professions$

,ne of the primary #oals of the SIWES is to help st!dents inte#rate leadership

development into the e%periential learnin# process$ St!dents are e%pected to

learn and develop basic non(profit leadership skills thro!#h a mentorin#

relationship with innovative non(profit leaders$

9/23

Str!ct!ral sections from the rollin# mills may re!ire s!rface cleanin# to

remove mill scale prior to fabrication and paintin#$ Dand preparation0 s!ch as

wire br!shin#0 does not normally conform to the re!irements of modern paint

or s!rface protection system$ 4last cleanin# is the accepted way of carryin# o!t

s!rface preparation in a well(r!n fabrication shop$ brasive particles are

pro+ected on to the s!rface of the steel at hi#h speed by either compressed air or

centrif!#al impeller to remove r!st and ro!#hen the s!rface before applyin# the

coatin#$ 4y !sin# shot or sla# #rits0 both of which have an an#!lar profile0

s!rface o%ides are removed and a ro!#her s!rface is obtained to provide an

ade!ate key for metal sprayin# or special paint$

Flame cleanin# is another method of s!rface cleanin#$ In this method the

s!rface is cleaned !sin# an o%y(acetylene torch which works on the principle of

differential thermal e%pansion between steel and mill scale$ In another method

called the steel piece is immersed in a s!itable acid and the scale and r!st are

removed$

2.2.2 CUTTING AND MACHINING

Followin# s!rface preparation0 c!ttin# to len#th is always the first process to be

carried o!t0 and this is done by any of the followin# methods$

S!"#$%&' #&( )$*++%&'

10/23

Sections can be c!t to len#th or width by croppin# or shearin# !sin# hydra!lic

shears$ Deavy sections or lon# plates can be shaped and c!t to len#th by

specialist plate shears$ For smaller plates and sections0 machines feat!rin# a

ran#e of shearin# knives0 which can accept the differin# section shapes0 are

available$

F,#-" )//%&' *$ $&%&'

In this method0 the steel is heated locally by a press!rised mi%t!re of o%y#en

and a comb!stible #as s!ch as propane0 which passes thro!#h a rin# of small

holes in a c!ttin# no&&le$ The heat is foc!ssed on to a very narrow band and the

steel melts at 1=== ) when a +et of hi#h(press!re o%y#en is released thro!#h a

separate hole in the centre of the no&&le to blast away the molten metal in

#lob!les$ The desired c!ts are obtained !ickly by this process$ Dowever d!e to

a rapid thermal cycle of heatin# and coolin#0 resid!al stresses and distortion are

ind!ced and hence str!ct!ral sections that are fabricated !sin# flame c!ttin# are

treated specially in the desi#n of str!ct!ral steelwork$

A$) P,#-# C//%&'

In this method0 the c!ttin# ener#y is prod!ced electrically by heatin# a #as in an

electric arc prod!ced between a t!n#sten electrode and the work piece$ This

ionises the #as0 enablin# it to cond!ct an electric c!rrent$ The hi#h(velocity

10


11/23

plasma +et melts the metal of the work piece$ The c!t prod!ced by plasma +et is

very clean and its !ality can be improved by !sin# a water in+ection arc plasma

torch$ 'lasma c!ttin# can be !sed on thicknesses !p to abo!t 1= mm b!t the

process is very slow$

2.2.3 PUNCHING AND DRILLING

;ost fabrication shops have a ran#e of machines0 which can form holes for

connections in str!ct!ral steelwork$ The traditional drillin# machine is the radial

drill0 a man!ally operated machine0 which drills individ!al holes in str!ct!ral

steelwork$ 4!t this method has become too slow for primary line prod!ction$

Therefore0 lar#er fabricators have installed ")


12/23

6olled steel may #et distorted after rollin# d!e to coolin# process$ F!rther

d!rin# transportation and handlin# operations0 materials may bend or may even

!nder#o distortion$ This may also occ!r d!rin# p!nchin# operation$ Therefore

before attemptin# f!rther fabrication the material sho!ld be strai#htened$ In

c!rrent practice0 either rolls or #a# presses are !sed to strai#hten str!ct!ral

shapes$

a# press is #enerally !sed for strai#htenin# beams0 channels0 an#les0 and

heavy bars$ This machine has a hori&ontal pl!n#er or ram that applies press!re

at points alon# the bend to brin# it into ali#nment$ 8on# plates0 which are

cambered o!t of ali#nment lon#it!dinally0 are fre!ently strai#htened by rollers$

They are passed thro!#h a series of rollers that bend them back and forth with

pro#ressively diminishin# deformation$

;isali#nments in str!ct!ral shapes are sometimes corrected by spot or pattern

heatin#$ When heat is applied to a small area of steel0 the lar#er !nheated

portion of the s!rro!ndin# material prevents e%pansion$ 5pon coolin#0 the

s!bse!ent shrinka#e prod!ces a shortenin# of the member0 th!s p!llin# it back

into ali#nment$ This method is commonly employed to remove b!ckles in #irder

webs between stiffeners and to strai#hten members$ It is fre!ently !sed to

prod!ce camber in rolled beams$ press brake is !sed to form an#!lar bends in

wide sheets and plates to prod!ce cold formed steel members$

2.2.4 FASTENING METHODS

12


13/23

The stren#th of the entire str!ct!re depends !pon the proper !se of fastenin#

methods$ There are three methods of fastenin# namely boltin#0 rivetin# and

weldin#$ few decades back0 it was a common practice to assemble

components in the workshop !sin# bolts or rivets$ "owadays weldin# is the

most common method of shop fabrication of steel str!ct!res$ In addition to

bein# simple to fabricate0 welded connection considerably red!ce the si&e of the

+oint and the additional fi%t!res and plates$ Dowever0 there is still a demand for

str!ct!ral members to be bolted arisin# from a re!irement to avoid weldin#

beca!se of the service conditions of the member !nder consideration$ These

may be low temperat!re performance criteria0 the need to avoid weldin# stresses

and distortion or the re!irement for the component to be taken apart d!rin#

service e$#$ bolts in crane rails or bolted crane rails$ Weldin# is !sed e%tensively

for +oinin# metals to#ether and there is no do!bt that it has been a most

si#nificant factor in the phenomenal #rowth of many ind!stries$

welded +oint is made by f!sin# the steel plates or sections alon# the

line of +oint$ The metal melted from each member of the +oint !nites in a pool

of molten metal0 which brid#es the interface$ s the pool cools0 molten metal at

the f!sion bo!ndary solidifies0 formin# a solid bond with the parent metal$

When solidification completes0 there is a contin!ity of metal thro!#h the +oint$

There are five weldin# process re#!larly employed namely-

S!%",("( M"/#, A$) W",(%&' 5SMAW6

13


14/23

This is basically a semi(a!tomated or f!lly a!tomated weldin# proced!re$ The

type of weldin# electrode !sed wo!ld decide the weld properties$ Since this

weldin# is carried o!t !nder controlled condition0 the weld !ality is normally

#ood$

S-"$'"(7A$) 8",(%&' 5SAW6

This is f!lly mechanised process in which the weldin# head is moved alon# the

+oint by a #antry0 boom or tractor$ The electrode is a bare wire0 which is

advanced by a motor$ Dere a#ain0 since the weldin# is carried o!t in controlled

conditions0 better !ality welds are obtained$

M#&#, M"/#,7A$) 8",(%&' 5MMA6

This is the most widely !sed arc weldin# process and appears to be

advanta#eo!s for labo!r intensive Indian constr!ction practices$ s it is

man!ally operated it re!ires considerable skill to prod!ce #ood !ality welds$

Dence in the case of ;;0 strin#ent !ality control and !ality ass!rance

proced!res are needed$ In India0 the Weldin# 6esearch Instit!te0 4DE80 Trichy0

Tamil "ad!0 cond!cts periodical co!rses for welders and weld inspection

personnel$ Welders who are employed in act!al fabrication are in fact0 #raded

accordin# to their trainin# and skills ac!ired$

15/23

M"/#,7A)/%9" G# 8",(%&' 5MAG6

This process is sometimes referred to as ;etal(Inert as weldin#$ It is

also man!ally operated$ #as that does not react with molten steel shields the

arc and the weld pool$ This protection ens!res that a so!nd weld is prod!ced

free from contamination(ind!ced cracks and porosity$ "evertheless0 this

proced!re also depends on the skills of the welder$

S/( 8",(%&'

This is an arc weldin# process and is e%tensively !sed for fi%in# st!d shear

connectors to beam in the composite constr!ction$ The e!ipment consists of

#!n hand tool0 $)$ power so!rce0 a!%iliary contractor and controller$ The st!d

is mo!nted into the ch!ck of the hand tool and conical tip of the st!d is held in

contact with the work piece by the press!re of a sprin# on the ch!ck$ s soon

as the c!rrent is switched on0 the st!d is moved away a!tomatically to establish

an arc$ When a weld pool has been formed and the end of the st!d is melted the

latter is a!tomatically forced into the steel plate and the c!rrent is switched off$

The molten metal0 which is e%pelled from the interface0 is formed into a fillet by

a ceramic collar or ferr!le0 which is placed aro!nd the st!d at the be#innin# of

the operation$

This process offers an acc!rate and fast method for attachin# shear connectors0

with the minim!m distortion$ While it re!ires some skill to set !p the weld

relatively strai#ht forward$

2.2.: FINISHING

Str!ct!ral members whose ends m!st transmit loads by bearin# a#ainst one

another are !s!ally finished to a smooth even s!rface$ Finishin# is performed by

sawin#0 millin# or other s!itable means$ Several types of sawin# machines are

available0 which prod!ce very satisfactory finished c!ts$ ,ne type of millin#

machine employs a movable head fitted with one or more hi#h(speed carbide

tipped rotary c!tters$ The head moves over a bed0 which sec!rely holds the work

piece in proper ali#nment d!rin# finishin# operation$

4rid#e specifications re!ire that sheared ed#es of plates over a certain

thickness be ed#e planed$ This is done to remove +a##ed flame c!t ed#es and the

resid!al stresses at the ed#es$ In this operation0 the plate is clamped to the bed

of millin# machine or a planer$ The c!ttin# head moves alon# the ed#e of the

plate0 plannin# it to a neat and smooth finish$

The term finish or mill is !sed on detail drawin#s to describe any operation that

re!ires steel to be finished to a smooth even s!rface by millin#0 plannin#0

sawin# or other machines$

CHAPTER THREE

3.0 RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION

3.1 RECOMMENDATION

In as m!ch as ind!strial trainin# is worthy to be e%perienced0 there are some

problems that #o with it$ I thereby recommend the followin#B

• ITF and instit!tions sho!ld help and ens!re proper placement of

st!dents based on their field of st!dy so as to ens!re that o!r

#rad!ates will be f!lly baked so as to fit into the labo!r market to

help improve the co!ntry*s economy$

• ITF and instit!tion based s!pervisors sho!ld see that the st!dents

are visited re#!larly which will help them keep to attendance in their

21


22/23

places of attachment and also foc!s more on the trainin# so as to be

able to adopt a #ood workin# ethics$

• lso the senior staff sho!ld #ive the +!nior ones more task to carry o!t which will help them learn more and

also develop the attit!de of self(confidence$

• Employment of more !alified operators to lessen the load of work/

activities on the operators$

• Improvin# the maintenance department so as to be able to carry o!t

proper maintenance on materials0 tools and e!ipment !sed to carry

o!t vario!s +obs or activities$

• The overnment0 ITF and the instit!tions sho!ld or#ani&e a re(

orientation pro#rams for o!r ind!stries and prospective employees in re#ards to

en#a#in# IT st!dents$

3.2 CONCLUSION

From the trainin#0 I have no do!bt that the St!dents Ind!strial Work E%perience

Scheme had achieved the ob+ective for which it was established$ "ot

only had the trainin# e%posed me to so many plants/e!ipments0 b!t also to the

f!ndamental workin# principles of these plants0 which are the theories bein#
