The present invention discloses a Fluid End and its manufacturing method. The conventional fluid end manufacturing methods involve machining of all surfaces. This demands more input stock for manufacturing process and a lot of material wastage during machining process. In the conventional processes involving open die forging followed by machining result into only about 34 % utilization of material. In the present invention, fluid end component geometry is optimized. Assembly surfaces are machined whereas other or non-assembly surfaces are as- forged condition. The method of invention also results in significant reduction in machining time and chip removal. The present invention also discloses a process of manufacturing using a combination of open die and closed die forging, and machining. It involves the steps of cogging an ingot to form billet for closed die forging using open die forging, forging the billet in closed die using forging equipment, semi-finish/rough/partial machining, heat treatment, drilling and finish machining the component. Most of the non-assembly areas of the fluid end are left in as-forged condition.

The weight of the crankshaft is among the many factors that adversely influence the engine performance. Reducing the weight of the crankshaft without affecting its strength and balancing characteristics would improve the engine performance. The present invention provides a crankshaft and the process of manufacturing it such that its weight is reduced at least by 5-10% in contrast to conventionally manufactured crankshafts of comparable specification. This is achieved by reducing machining allowance which is provided during forging design, such that it does not adversely impact its strength and balancing ability. Moreover the additional aspect of kidney pocket inclusion into the combined area of web and counterweight profile reduces weight of crankshaft further at least 5%. A reduction in total machined area of the webs is also another aspect of the present invention.
A process to manufacture crusher hammers by forging used in coal granulator of thermal power plant is disclosed. It uses step-wise forging operation to achieve final shape of crusher hammers, followed by unique heat treatment. The process starts with a preform made from a round billet and follows through with a upsetting followed by finisher forging, flash trimming and piercing operation. The forged components are further heat treated to get improved mechanical properties (strength, wear resistant, hardness, toughness etc.) and longer life. The hammers made using conventional processes have low life due to high wear rate and it may increase cost of replacement in very early stage. This problem is solved by the hammers manufactured by the process of invention.
The present invention disclosed an ultra-high strength steel for structural components, a process of making such steel that has a desirable microstructure in the thermo-mechanically processed and differently cooled conditions that delivers high fatigue performance in service, and a process of making forged components using such steel. The steel and the process of its manufacturing enables manufacture of components that exhibit bainitic microstructure that impart ultra- high strength ranges with very high fatigue performance. The invention enables saving in alloying additives compared to hardened and tempered alloy steels and in addition avoid expensive heat treatment operations to achieve the desired range of mechanical properties. The steel of the invention is a suitable replacement for micro alloyed steel or heat treated steel bars used for structural component development. The steel can be used for applied as the hot rolled and air cooled long products that can be directly used for applications or it can be directly hot forged in open or closed die forging followed by controlled cooling to achieve the desired microstructure and range of mechanical properties.
The present invention discloses a modified process of die manufacturing which substantially improves the wear life of the dies. The process consists of introduction of shot blasting operation after the machining operation and before the nitrocarburising operation. The process increases the case depth of the surface hardened layer thereby increasing the wear life of the hot forging dies. Gaseous Ferritic Nitrocarburising (GFN) process is carried out on die steel material for increasing the surface hardness. Performance of the surface hardening process depends on surface preparation and its treatment. Surface preparation entails modifying roughness and residual stresses on the surface. The shot blasting step of the invented process introduces uniform roughness and compressive residual stresses on the surface, which helps to increase the hardening depth during GFN.

The present invention eliminates the rolling and/or cogging process from the complete crankshaft manufacturing cycle, by using continuously cast (ConCast) billets of the size required by the forging process, thus, eliminating the requirement of cross section reduction through rolling and/or cogging. Moreover, proper forging process design is done to take care of closure of internal porosities and centre looseness, breaking of as cast structure and required grain flow during the forging operation. Thus, the crankshaft produced by the invented process has properties - mechanical, metallurgical, fatigue- equivalent to those produced by the conventional process.

A FORGING PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURE OF ALUMINIUM ALLOY WHEEL DISC
A forging process to manufacture Aluminium wheel discs for heavy vehicles using small tonnage hammer is disclosed. It uses step-wise forging operation to achieve final shape of the alloy wheel. A minimal amount of machining is required. The process starts with a preform made from a round extruded billet and follows through with a pancaking and buster operations further followed by blocker and finisher operations. It is noted that grain flow lines in the product are continuous because the initial flow lines are present in extruded billet and it has greater material strength than the products manufactured with conventional processes that involve joints and welding.

AN APPARATUS FOR AND A METHOD OF TURNING DIFFICULT-TO-CUT ALLOYS
The present invention discloses high frequency vibration assisted turning apparatus and method for Ti alloy work pieces. The invention is also applicable to alloys that are hard to machine in general. It is a novel manufacturing technology, where high frequency vibrations are imposed on the conventional movement of the cutting tool. As an example frequency of 20 kHz and amplitude of 20 μm are provided to the cutting tool in the direction of feed given to tool holder. The method results in reduction of shear friction at the contact between the tool and the work piece, which in turn results in the reduction in shear band formation in this high frequency assisted turned chips. There are benefits which results in terms of improved chip mechanism and tool life. It is observed that the High Frequency Turning produces a better surface finish that the conventional methods.

A METHOD TO REDUCE END DEFECTS IN ROLLING OF SECTIONS
The present invention aims at reducing the cropping losses formed during reversible multi pass hot rolling of flat ended bloom into bars by designing the preform end shapes using finite element analysis and a method to provide the designed preform end shapes to the input blooms. A three dimensional simulation of the reversible multi pass hot rolling process with flat ended input bloom predicts the formation of defective end shapes after rolling and reverse material tracking is applied to finite element simulations to obtain desired preform end shapes of the input bloom and similar simulations on the bloom with preformed end shape shows considerable reduction in cropping losses.
