INTRODUCTION TO INDIAN RAILWAYS

Railways serve the people of India since 1853. Indian Railways is the biggest
organization in our country, which is engaged in transportation. Indian Railways have
continuously influenced the social, economic, cultural and political life of the people.
Some important aspects of railways are together people from all casts, communities
and religions of trade and commerce, development of industries, influence on
literature, poetry, music, films etc. Indian Railways is giving employment to a big part
of population of India.

INDIAN RAILWAYS AT A GLANCE:

First train moved on:

First train run between:

First locomotive named:

April 16, 1853

Bombay to Thane
Lord Falkland

16th April, 1853...............The Beginning of the first railway on Indian sub-continent

ran over a stretch of 21 miles from Bombay to Thane. The idea of a railway to
connect Bombay with Thane, Kalyan and with the Thal and Bhore Ghats inclines first
occurred to Mr. George Clark, the Chief Engineer of the Bombay Government, during
a visit to Bhandup in 1843.
The formal inauguration ceremony was
performed on 16th April 1853, when 14 railway
carriages carrying about 400 guests left Bori
Bunder at 3.30 pm "amidst the loud applause
of a vast multitude and to the salute of 21
guns."
The first passenger train steamed out of Howrah station destined for Hooghly,
a distance of 24 miles, on 15th August, 1854. Thus the first section of the East Indian

Railway was opened to public traffic, inaugurating the beginning of railway transport
on the Eastern side of the sub-continent.
In south the first line was opened on 1st July, 1856 by the Madras Railway Company.
It ran between Veyasarpandy and Walajah Road (Arcot), a distance of 63 miles. In the
North a length of 119 miles of line was laid from Allahabad to Kanpur on 3rd March
1859.
The first section from Hathras Road to Mathura Cantonment was opened to traffic on
19th October, 1875. These were the small beginnings which is due course developed
into a network of railway lines all over the country. By 1880 the Indian Railway
system had a route mileage of about 9000 miles.
Indian railway is an industry engaged in the movement of persons and things from
one place to another. It comes into existence after independence and presently, it
constitutes the second largest railway network in the world, it has four gauges of

cutting is done on CNC section. After this the centre are drilled on centre drilling
machine. Bearing, thrust bearing and flange dia. Profiling is done on cylindrical
grinder. After this drilling and tapping is done on radial drill. After that cam shaft is
checked on magna flux for cracks. The main machines in this section are:

GUN DRILLING:
A gun drill is a single point end cutting tools used for drilling of deep holes. The
single tip design of gun drill incorporating bearing pads to support and guide the tool
forces the cutting edge to cut in a true circular pattern and maintain its position
throughout the length of the hole. To initially guide the tool an accurate pilot hole is
necessary. The type of arrangement in which work piece rotates and drill is stationary
tends to give aligned holes. The other machines in this section are: - stamping
machine, deep hole drilling machine, radial drill, centre lath, cam grinder.

CNC GUN DRILLING MACHINE (WIDMA)

M.I.E.T.

20

GEAR HOBBING MACHINE:

Hobbing is a process of generating a gear by means of a rotating cutter called a hob. It
is a continuous indexing process in which both the cutting tool and work piece rotate
in a constant relationship while the hob is being fed into work. A hob resembles a
worm with gashes made parallel to its axis to provide cutting edges.
In volute gears the job has essentially straight sides at a given pressure angle. The
faces of hob teeth are relieved radially to form clearance behind the cutting edge. The
hob is fed into gear blank to proper depth and both are rotated together as a mesh. The
teeth of hub cut into work piece in successive order and each in a slightly different
position. Gear Hobbing is faster than milling because several teeth are cut at a time
and because of continuous meshing process.
Milling requires that the cutter and work disengage before indexing can occur. The
hob or cutter may set with its teeth parallel to the axis of gear blank when spur gears
are to be cut. If helical gears are to be cut the axis of hob can be set an angle to
produce proper helix. For Hobbing helical gears, the rotation of workable is slightly
advanced or retarded in relation to rotation of axial feed screws by means of another
set of change gear called differential gears.

INTERNAL GRINDER:
It is used for the grinding of the bores of the gears. It is a NC machine. It can do
facing and grinding on all the gears except bull gear. Differential type of grinding

HEAT TREATMENT SHOP

Heat treatment is defined as an operation or combination of operations involving
heating and cooling of metal or metal alloys in its solid state with the objective of
changing the characteristics of the materials.

OBJECTIVE:

To improve machinability.
To change grain size.
To relieve the stress of the metal induced during hot or cold working.
To improve mechanical properties i.e. tensile strength hardness, ductility,
shock resistance etc.
To improve the electrical and magnetic properties.
To produce a hard surface on ductile interior.
To increase the resistance to wear heat and corrosion.

THEORY OF HEAT TREATMENT:

It is based on fact that a change takes place in the internal structure of steel at specific
temperature. Steel in its sample form is composed of pure iron to which small
percentage of change of carbon has been added. At normal temperature the steel
consists of pure iron known as Ferrite combined with carbide, which is called
cementite. The hard brittle iron carbide does not become fully combined with the iron
however until the temperature at approx. 800 degrees Celsius is reached. If the steel is
heated progressively it will found at this point, the temperature of the metal does not
increase although heat is for the time being used up in the bringing about a structural/
chemical change in the metal, when the change has take place the temperature
difference from 30 degree to 105 degree Celsius.
The heat treatment shop is divided into two parts:
1

INDUCTION HARDENING

CASE HARDENING

INDUCTION HARDENING:
Surface hardening of steel done by means of induction is known as induction
hardening. This method involves heating the component by an induced current to
temperature at which the rate of formation of austenite is very rapid and then
quenching it to transform the austenite to martensite. For the purpose of induction
heating from 50 Hz to 450 Hz. Induction hardening is mainly used for gears, cam
shaft, automobiles parts, lath beds, axles etc.

STEPS INVOLVED IN INDUCTION HARDENING:

Before going for the different processes we have to visually check the compounds,
which have been received for induction hardening. That proper deburning has been
done on parts to be induction hardening, no burning colour should be there because of
improper cooling during machining which is sometimes observe on cam shaft lobes,
physically visualizing the size/ shape of the components, proper contouring is to be
checked in case of cam shaft, body etc. which are supposed to be kept within both the
centers for the purpose of induction hardening.
After visualizing all above points we go for further processes as follows:

STRESS RELIVING:

This process is carried out on cam shaft and bull gears. This involves heating of 8 lots
10 numbers of cam shaft up to a temperature of 500 degree Celsius in pit furnace,
then soaking it from about 4 hours at the same temperature and then cool it down in
the furnace itself up to a temperature of about 180 degree Celsius and then it is
unloaded from the furnace and then it is allowed to cool down to ambient
temperature. This process takes about 3 hours to all.

QUENCHING:

It is method of rapid cooling of the metal in the bath of liquid during heat treatment, if
the piece of steel is heated above its critical temperature and plunged into water to
cool it on extremely hard, needle shaped structure known as martensite is formed.
Sudden quenching of steel increases its hardness. The degree of hardness, oil however
gives the best balance between hardness, toughness and distortion for standard steel.
Clear cold water is often used, while the addition of salt increases. The heating time
for certain steel and medium alloy steel should be from 25 to 30% more than for
carbon structural steels. The heating time for high alloy steel should be from 50 to
100% higher.

TEMPERING:

The process of tempering consists of heating quenched hardened steel in martensite

condition to some predetermined temperature between rim temperature and critical
temperature of steel for a certain length of time, followed by air cooling. The process
removes brittleness and improves toughness.

CASE HARDENING:
The process of surface hardening is based upon inductive hardening. A high
frequency current is first transformed from high to low voltage, and the heavy low
M.I.E.T.

26
voltage current is passed through the inductor block which surrounds the bearing
journal to be hardened without actually touching it. The inductor block current induce
a current in the surface of the metal which the block surround and it is this induced
current which heats the surface to be hardened. When the area in the question has
been subjected to an accurately controlled high frequency current for proper length of
time. The electrical circuit is open and simultaneously the heated surface is quenched
from a water jacket.

CARBURISING:
Carburizing is the process of adding carbon the surface of steel. The purpose of
carburizing is to obtain a hard surface with high wear resistance. This is
accomplishing by enriching the surface with carbon to the concentration of 0.8%
followed at low temp. Carburizing and subsequent heat treatment is called case
hardening.

CARBON BRUSH SHOP

INTRODUCTION:
Carbon brushes are mainly used for an electrical contact between the stationery and revolving
parts of dielectrically working machine.
CARBON BRUSHES:
Till the late 19th century, it was common practice to collect electric current from moving
material surface by brushing it with a band of wires or gauge. Copper however caused,
sparkling burning and heavy wear on the surface. It was also proof to melting and welding at
the high arising temperature experienced. The search for a better brush material therefore,
became critical and carbon was found to be answer.
USE OF BRUSHES:
The carbon brushes are extensively used in large size D.C motors in heavy engineering, dc
generator, ac synchronous and asynchronous machine, ac commutator machines, and low
voltage dc generator dc motors stator used in automobiles.
APPLICATION OF VARIOUS GRADES OF CARBON BRUSHES
The selection of suitable grade of brush for a particular application is very vital from
the point of view of reliability and trouble free service since the damage caused by a
wrong choice of brush ultimately may prove very costly.
The various grades of carbon brushes are listed as under:
1. HARD CARBON: Hard carbon brushes are used for fractional horsepower
machines, with flush mica, low and medium surface speeds and for moderate
brush current dimities..
2. CARBON GRAPHITE: Carbon graphite brushes are used for FHP machine
with under cut mica and for machines having copper slip rings.
3. ELECTRO GRAPHITE: These brushes are used for machines having
copper, bronze and steel slip rings and it gives good polished surface because
of its lubricating properties. It is also used for machines operating in
contaminated atmosphere.
4. METAL GRAPHITE: These brushes are used for slip rings, low voltage
machines, automobiles starters as earthen brushes i.e. where low contact
resistance is needed.
5. METAL IMPREGENATED GRAPHITE: These brushes are used for high
speed small motors of precision instruments, computer and electronic
instruments.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN COMPONENTS USED IN

POWER PACK
PISTON:
Piston used is of positive flow, oil cooled, trunk type made of aluminum. Lubricating
oil is delivered to the piston cooling grooves from the crankshaft by means of a hole
through the connecting rod and piston pin. Escorts Mahle supplies the pistons. A steel
cap is fitted on the piston.

PISTON PIN:
The piston pin has a floating fit in the piston and running fit in the steel backed,
bronze lined connecting rod bushing. A rolled sleeve is installed in the pin bore to seal
in the cooling oil. Special snap rings are provided at each end of the pin to hold it in
place.

CONNECTING ROD:
The connecting rod is a high strength alloy steel forging with the conventional rod
cap. Pressed into the piston end of the rod is steel backed bronze lined split piston pin
bushing. Joining both ends of the rod is a drilled passage for pressure fed lubrication.
The rod cap is aligned to the rod by a short and long dowel and is secured by nuts and
bolts.

PISTON RINGS:
The rings are wholly replaced. They maintain the compression in the cylinder piston
enclosure. Various types of rings are square, taper, and conformable and scarper.
Square and taper rings are cast.

CYLINDER LINER:
They fit in the cylinder block with a metal to metal fit. Each liner has a collar on its
upper end which seats in the cylinder block. One seal ring in a groove near the top of
the line and two seal rings in the groove near the bottom of the liner seal the fits
between the liner and cylinder block. Metal to metal joints of the flat type from the
compression seal between the liner and cylinder heads are there.

CYLINDER HEAD:
The cylinder head is secured to the cylinder block by 7 studs. Water jumpers from the
cylinder block to each cylinder head conduct water from the cylinder block to water
cooling passage in the cylinder heads. Each head has suitable chambers for two air
inlet valves two exhaust valves and a fuel injector nozzle.

M.I.E.T.

32

LUBE OIL PUMP:

It is a positive displacement helical gear pump. It is mounted on the free end of the
base and is derived by diesel engine crankshaft extension gear. The pump discharges
into external piping through a flange on the pump casing.

AIR ELBOW:
Individual air elbow conduct air from air passage in the cylinder block to the cylinder
head. A gasket is used for air elbow and cylinder block fitment.

FUEL INJECTION PUMP:

Micro fuel injection pump are of single acting constant stroke and plunger type with
the effective working stroke, however being adjustable. The pump consists of
primarily a housing, delivery valve, spring, delivery valve holder, element, a geared
of barrel and a plunger which are matched assembled to a very close tolerance. FIP
has got three basic functions:a). To raise the fuel oil pressure to a value this will efficiently atomize the fuel.
b). To supply the correct amount of fuel to the injection nozzle, compensating with
power and speed requirement of the engine.
c). To accurate time the delivery of the fuel for the efficient and economic operation
of engine.
The amount of the fuel delivered per stroke is controlled by rotating the plunger by
means of a control rod different position of the helix come in front of the inlet port,
thus varying the effective stroke of the plunger, the actual plunger travel remaining
constant. In the extreme angular position of the plunger the vertical groove comes in
contact with the inlet port and even when the plunger moves upwards no pressure is
built up and hence no fuel can be supplied.

FUEL INJECTION NOZZLE:

The fuel injection nozzle is closed hydraulically operated differential type consisting
of two parts- Nozzle body and Nozzle valve. Both of these are made out of special
heat treated alloy to minimum wear. The nozzle valve and nozzle body matched to
form an assembly. These parts should not be exchanged individual but replaced only
as an assembly. At the body of the nozzle body there are 9 spray holes through which
fuel passes through the combustion chamber. The spring loaded valve controls the
flow. Multi hole nozzle is used in order to mix the fuel properly. The holes are drilled
non symmetrically or symmetrically to meet certain specific requirements of the
combustion.

STRAINER:
The lube oil strainer is of the basket type with the oil entering the strainer at the
bottom shell connection of the oil. Oil flows up through a hollow tube and strainer

33
screen. The oil then passes through the fine mesh screen and out of the strainer shell.
The strainer screen is star shaped to provide maximum straining area.

LUBE OIL FILTER:

The filter tank consists of multiple elements. Each filter element may consist of a
metal cage with a paper filter with no cage. In baffle 6-11 pounds of long strand
cotton waster act as filter.

LUBRICATING OIL SYSTEM:

Following elements are present in the system circulating pump, regulating valves,
filter assembly, heat exchanger, associated piping. LOP on front end sucks from the
sump and gives the oil to the system. Relief valve at discharge side protect the pump
from high pressure and controls discharge pressure at 105-110 psi by passing a
portion of oil back to sump. Across the filter constant pressure is maintained from
filter to cooler, then to strainer and then into the main lubricating oil header. Two
branch lines from main headers supply oil to each bank of cylinder head valve
mechanisms, fuel pump lifters and camshaft gear. The oil supplied to the main
bearings flows through passages in the camshaft to the connecting rod bearing. The
oil passes through the relief drilled connecting rods to hollow full floating piston pins.
The oil then flows from the pin through passages to the piston to cool the piston
crown the oil eventually discharges from a hole inside the skirt of the engine sump.
The small line leads before the main header to the pressure gauge and the low oil
pressure switch.

FUEL OIL SYSTEM:

Fuel used is high speed diesel of IS1460-1974 specification. Cetane number is equal
to 42. Total sulphur percentage by mass maximum is equal to 1%. Low atmospheric
pressure and engines operating at high altitudes may require the use of fuels with
higher Cetane number.
System: All loco motive units have individual fuel oil system. Each loco has a fuel
supply tank located beneath the under frame, beneath the trucks, a fuel oil booster
pump drawn fuel from the fuel tank and distributes it throughout the system. The
suction side is between the tank and the booster pump. All fuel drawn from the tank
must pass through filter. The pressure side is between the booster pump and the
pressure regulating valve of
The oil flows. The system it first passes by a pressure relief valve set at 75 psi. Its
purpose is to protect the booster pump, motor and the system from the over loud. Oil
then passes through the primary and secondary filter into the right bank fuel header,
which feeds the Left bank fuel injection pumps. A line is connected to the pressureregulating valve, which feeds a fuel oil pressure gauge.

34

GOVERNOR:
Governor used are GE Electro-Mechanical or Woodward mechanical governor. As is
clear from the diagram there are two coils, speed coil & stabilizing. The stabilizing
coil has 475 mA constant current supplied to it. Speed coil gets its feeding current
from Techno generator. Depending upon the increase or decrease in the speed the
piston moves up or down under the varying magnetic effect of coil. The valve system
moves the slave piston up or down. This interns further meshing with piston which
interns further connected to a lever of the control shaft. Thus the control shaft control
the FIP rack and hence the fuel inlet.

CONTROL UNIT

TURBO SUPER CHARGER:

The turbo super charger is a self- contained unit composed of a gas turbine and a
centrifugal casing. The exhaust gas from the cylinder of the diesel engine is conveyed
to the exhaust manifold and then to the turbine, which utilizes some of the velocity
energy of the exhaust gas, otherwise wasted. This energy in the gas is used to drive
the blower. This blower furnishes all the air required by the engine, through the air
intake manifold at a pressure above atmosphere. The turbocharger unit is used in
conjunction with a multiple pipe or single pipe exhaust manifold.
In this system the compressed air delivered by the TC accomplishes two goals:
It scavenges the hot residual gases otherwise left in the cylinder at the end of
the exhaust stroke and replaces it with cooler fresh air.

It fills the cylinder with air charge of higher density during the suction stroke.
The provision of greater amount of fresh air permits the combustion of a
correspondingly greater amount of fuel and consequently a higher power out
put from a turbocharger engine is obtained as compared to an engine which is
not so equipped.
Scavenging the combustion space with cool air effects a considerable degree of
cooling of the cylinder heads, vales, walls and pistons, for this reason greater amount
of fuel can be burnt and greater power developed by a turbo charged engine without
harmful effects to the engine parts due to excessive heat.
No control over the turbo charger is required as the co-related activities of the turbine
and blower are entirely automatic. The speed of operation of the turbocharger varies
automatically and rapidly with variation in engine load and/or speed.

M.I.E.T.

36

DETAILS OF CONSTRUCTION OF TURBOCHARGER:

It consists of a single stage turbine wheel and a single stag centrifugal blower impeller
on a common shaft with necessary surrounding castings. The turbocharger rotor is
entirely independent of rotating engine parts. Engine exhaust gases are conducted to
the gas inlet casing by the exhaust manifold. The turbine nozzle ring is attached to the
center of the gas inlet casing the veins of the nozzle ring directing the exhaust gases to
the rotor disk blades at the proper angle.

By studying these processes one by one we have:

FRAME SECTION:
After the frame has been dismantled it is thoroughly cleaned in three stages. These are
as follows, first of all the mud from the frame is scraped off with the help of brush
and a scrapped thoroughly till the red color is seen. Then the frame is taken to the
water-cleaning tank where the frame is put inside the tank in which water is
maintained at a temperature of 80-90 C and up to the outlet level of the tank. In the
tank caustic soda is put in the correct ratio and the frame is kept in this tank for
cleaning for about 48 hours. Then after the cleaning the frame is dispatched to the
frame section
After these checks are made the frame is made free i.e. discarded off if there is major
crack present and if not the various cracks are filled up with welding. Then after this
all the bushes of the frame are changed or replaced and all the worn off plates are
changed. Then after this the levers are assembled with the frame i.e. the fitment of
