NCTS/TTTI/1
  Introduction To Casting Deffcts
   

This is a curtain raiser for the series. Dr. P.K. Basutkar and
Mr. D.V. Paranjpe
are in conversation on the following:

      System approach to control defects,
      Documentation and display of the process,
      Process parameters,
      Five case studies and outcomes,
      Suggested reading material for reference,
      Introduction to the series, and
      Contribution by NCTS Pune of the Institute of Indian Foundrymen
Calcutta and TTTI Bhopal.
 
NCTS/TTTI/2
  Blow Holes
   

Expert: Mrs. S.S. Kharkhanis

 

Blow hole is the common defect. At times this defect is confused
with other defects which appear similar to Blow Holes.
This leads to faulty diagnosis.
The programme illustrates this
defect and instructs to distinguish Blow Holes from other defects
such as a sand holes, slagholes, and shrink holes.
Other contents are

      Locating blow holes,
      Characteristic features of blow holes,
      Genesis of the defect, and
      Remedial measures.
 
 
NCTS/TTTI/3
  Shrinkage
   

Expert: Prof. S.K. Paknikar

 

The programme deals with the following:

      Characteristic features of appearance of the defect.
      Classification into open, internal and corner shrinkages.
      Genesis of the defect.
      Causes leading to shrinkages and
      Remedial measures.
 
 
NCTS/TTTI/4
  Inclusions
   

Expert: Mr. P.S. Godbole

 

Inclusions in foundries form a significant part of total rejections and are
required to be attended seriously.

The programme encompases

      Identification of inclusions.
      Classification into sand, dirt, slag and slag like matter.
      Causes viz. Design, Patterns, Pattern equipment, moulding
boxes, gating and running, moulding sand, core practice,
moulding practice, Metal composition, Melting practice,
Pouring Practice etc.
      Remedies.
 
 
NCTS/TTTI/5
  Scab
   

Expert: Mr. A.K. Abhyankar

 

The programme deals with the following:

      Appearance of defect.
      Clasification into expansion scab and erosion scab.
      Causes leading to scabs.
      Remedial measures.
 
 
NCTS/TTTI/6
  Discontinuties
   

Expert: Mr. S.A. Joshi

 

Discontinuity appears due to lack of fusion of metal in castings.

      The defect may be Cold lap, Cold shut, Misrun, inadequate
fusion of chapters etc.
      Causes of the defect and
      In foundry practice we can not take remedial steps in
isolation. This point is dealt with through live action, graphics
and voice over narration.
 
 
NCTS/TTTI/7
  Pinhole Porosity
   

Expert: Mr. R.D. Chavan

 

The objectives are:

      To identify the defect
      To state different causes
      To list preventive measures
      To describe corrective methods
  This programme has animation to support the theory on displacement of gas.
    Outline
      Behaviour of Aluminium Melt
      Identification of Pinhole Porosity
      Causes of the defect  
      Preventive and corrective measures
