CAMSHAFT IS AN IMPORTANT PART IN ENGINE ASSEMBLY

Abstract

Acamshaftis a shaft to which acamis fastened or of which a cam forms an integral part.A camshaft is generally manufactured by Casting Process.Castingis a manufacturing process in which a liquid material is usually poured into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The solidified part isalso known as acasting andthe process is known as Casting Process. Camshaft plays an important role in the engine assembly. So the camshaft should undergo the specified machining and subsequent operations.Some defects in camshafts like pinhole, extra metal, shrinkage or mainly found defect is a Bend are considered the most common problems in manufacturing of camshafts. The bent camshafts may cause an Engine Failure. So Bend is the natural phenomena due to which the percentage rejection of camshaft foundry plays a big role.The aim of this project was to study all the reasons which contribute for bend and find the operative and serviceable remedies to minimize the percentage rejection. The Bend may be reduced by some effective methods like changing the squeezing pins layout, shell mold thickness, changingthe width of the shell or the shell geometry. The miniature working remedies we suggested and it helped us achieve good results. The remedies suggested are affordable to the industry and applicable in some processes.
