Thermocouple: Principle,working,& types

Image
  The world is in twenty first century & this era is of technology.Heat is an energy and a fundamental need for lives.In this time of technology advancement every thing is works on specific parameters that's why it is necessary to know accurate values of every input and output.     Same thing applied in everything where hot work is going to be that is Temperature. To measure the temperature a sensor device is used known as Thermocouple     Thermocouple is a sensor or device which is used to measure the temperature.     Now the question arises that temperature can be measured by thermometer or mercury tube But they are used only for limited temperature range. To measure the temperature above and below the range of normal thermometer, thermocouple is used.     Thermocouple consist of two wires of different conducting (both electricity and heat) material joined in a loop making couple. So thermocouple is a couple made by two wires to measure the temperature. Thermocouple work on p

Forging process

Image
Forging: Manufacturing process Forging is a process of shaping or forming metals by using compressive force/pressure. Majority of forging is done by heating the metal which is called Hot Forging , but some times fishing is done on cold metals at room temperature called Cold Forging. Forging used to make from nuts and bolts to Ship propellers.       Forged parts are more stronger than cast one because in cast metals grains are random oriented but in forging , they are oriented in a same pattern. ● Normally metals are cold forged and alloys are hot forged.       Forging is used in manufacturing industries for making hardware product, automotive parts, aerospace parts, machine parts and equipment etc.    Operations in forging : 1. Fullering 2. Edging 3. Flatting 4. Swaging 5. Bending (V-bending,L-bending)    Classification of forging on the basis of temperature : 1. Cold forging : Cold forging is done when metal is already soft like aluminum. After cold forging metal needed to be annealed
