Acknowledgement
It is great pleasure to present this report, which will vouch for prolific and
invaluable training at M/s LARSEN AND TOUBRO. I consider it an honored privilege to
have undergone in plant training in a highly reputed and diversified company like M/s Larsen
& Toubro Ltd. The training period of 23 weeks besides enhancing my scope of thinking, has
enriched me with invaluable experience of the industrial culture of the highest repute.
I would like to thank Mrs. Pooja Acharekar (HR-CORPORATE) and Mrs.
Nishita Boricha (HR-HEIC) for giving me this unique opportunity to get trained in such an
advanced dept. and enhance my training knowledge.
I am deeply grateful to Mr. Rakesh Deodhar my organization training
supervisor, for providing me with freedom and encouragement to participate in various
projects involving production planning and productivity improvement analysis.
I would also thank Mr. Alok Tanawade & Mr. Vijaykumar Yadav who
zealously guided me at every juncture of need. Their altruistic co-operation, help and advice
were found to be invaluable in most crucial stages of my training. I will remember their
advice and ideas for future progress.
My special thanks to Dr. Hari Vasudevan (Principal and HOD-Production
Engineering Department) for giving me a chance to learn and enhance my knowledge. I
would like to thank my college supervisor, Mr. E Narayanan for his valuable advices,
motivation and engender in me an impetus for innovations and a quest for learning more,
whose invaluable guidance and timely suggestion and constructive encouragement inspired

Abstract
The project titled Titanium Welding as Technical Project and Packing and Dispatch of
Equipments as Managerial Project accounts for the successful full-time Industrial training
for a period of five months towards a partial fulfillment of the degree of B.Tech. Mechanical
Engineering. Sequentially the work introduces company profile, Titanium heat exchanger and
its parts, Titanium Fabrication, Welding and Forming process.

It is then followed by description of Titanium Welding, Its precaution, procedure and

cleanliness while welding Titanium, Weld colour specification, Tube to tube sheet welding,
Titanium welding specification and Arc Voltage controller machine.

The other half is based on Nozzle Fabrication in one piece from Titanium plate without any
crack formation, buckling and misalignment. It is based on Fabrication technique, forming die
and designing a new Guiding fixture. It also contains the problem faced while forming
nozzles earlier in one piece, reasons of that problem and limitations of the current used
method (Nozzle forming in two pieces). This project includes solution for this method by
designing a guiding fixture.
Finally, the report concludes displaying the improvements achieved by the fabrication process
and design modifications and replacing the older method by the new designed fixture, and the
desired results were achieved successfully. Also the Work carried out, initiated and executed by
me while working in Larsen & Toubro Heavy Engineering is concluded in this report.
