Process Diagrams Process diagrams are the most effective way of communicating information about a process. A process diagram consists of activities, events, and gateways, which a sequence flow puts in a flow sequence. Activities, events, and gateways are summarized under the term flow object. A process diagram is the key to the development and management …
Read MoreCondition Based Maintenance and CBM+ Management The growth of global competition has led to remarkable changes in the way industrial organizations operate. These changes have affected maintenance and made its role even more crucial for the organizational success. For remaining competitive, industrial organizations are to continuously increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the production processes. …
Read MoreRing Rolling Ring rolling is one of the metal-forming operations which decreases the thickness (cross section) and increases the diameter (circumference) of the work-piece by squeezing effect as it passes between two rotating rolls. It is an advanced technique, extensively used to produce seamless rings which are normally being used as flanges, pipe flanges, ring …

It is widely used in industry dealing with ferrous materials. An iron and steel …
Read MoreReliability Centered Maintenance and its Role in Maintenance Management Reliability centered maintenance (RCM) and variations thereof are used by several organizations world-wide to address a host of reliability issues in order to improve ‘overall equipment effectiveness’ (OEE) while controlling the ‘life-cycle cost’ (LCC) inherent with physical asset management. RCM techniques are applied to any machinery …
Read MoreHot Extrusion Process and its Application for Steel Extrusion is a compressive deformation process in which a block of metal is squeezed through an orifice or die opening in order to get a reduction in diameter and increase in length of the metal block. The resultant product has the desired cross-section. Extrusion involves forming of …
