Figure 2. 1 Diesel Engine In Railway
In machine shop section different types of machines are used to machine different
parts according to need. After casting the work pieces are machined to convert them
into various parts according to part structure. Various types of machines are available
in at Loco shop of railway industry to machine different parts according to part
specification (part drawing). Operations to be performed and time to make that part
are mentioned on work order. Operations are performed according to the sequence
mentioned on work order.
In foundry shop different types of parts are produced using casting process. After
casting the work pieces are machined to convert them into various parts according to
part structure. Various types of furnaces are available in at Loco shop of railway
industry to cast different number of parts according to demand. Operations to be
performed and time to make that part are mentioned on work order. Operations are
performed according to the sequence mentioned on work order.

In this shop all parts related to diesel engine are prepared and machined
here:
Springs are flexible machine element used for controlled application of force or
torque or for storing and release of mechanical energy. Flexibility (elastic
deformation) is enabled due to cleverly designed geometry or by using of flexible
material.

Figure 2. 3 Spring Shop
The diesel engine produces mechanical energy by converting heat energy derived
from burning of fuel inside the cylinder. For efficient burning of fuel, availability of
sufficient air in proper ratio is a prerequisite. In a naturally aspirated engine, during
the suction stroke, air is being sucked into the cylinder from the atmosphere. The
volume of air thus drawn into the cylinder through restricted inlet valve passage,
within a limited time would also be limited and at a pressure slightly less than the
atmosphere. The availability of less quantity of air of low density inside the cylinder
would limit the scope ofburning of fuel. Hence mechanical power produced in the
cylinder is also limited An improvement in the naturally aspirated engines is the
super-charged or pressure charged engines. During the suction stroke,pressurized
stroke of high density is being charged into the cylinder through the open suction
valve. Air of higher density containing more oxygen will make it possible to inject
more fuel into the same size of cylinders and produce more power, by effectively
burning it. A turbocharger, or turbo, is a gas compressor used for forced-induction
of an internal combustion engine. Like a supercharger, the purpose of a turbocharger
is to increase the density of air entering the engine to create more power. However, a
turbocharger differs in that the compressor is powered by a turbine driven by the
engine's own exhaust gases.
Wheel shop is the sub shop of machine shop. The maintenance of wheel is
taking into the machine shop. The couple of axle and dick is called wheel.
The wheel is enter into the wheel shop .the dick is dismount from the
axle .different operation are used to machine and maintain the axle and
disk.

2.9 LIFTING SHOP
The lifting section deals with the repair of coaches and their related arts.
It is called as lifting section because the parts of coaching cannot be
repaired without lifting them. There are three main sections of lifting.
In engine block shop block of engines are made and prepared here. The
cylinder block is an integrated structure comprising the cylinder(s) of a reciprocating
engine and often some or all of their associated surrounding structures (coolant
passages, intake and exhaust passages and ports, and crankcase). The term engine
block is often used synonymously with "cylinder block".
The engine block is the collective term that refers to the crankcase and all the
components that fill it, including gaskets, valves, and seals. The cylinder block is the
portion of the engine between the cylinder head and sump (oil pan) and is the
supporting structure for the entire engine. All the engine parts are mounted on it or in
it and this holds the parts in alignment. Large diameter holes in the block-castings
form the cylinder bores required to guide the pistons. These holes are called bores as
they are made by boring. The cylinders are provided with a web or bulkhead to
support the crankshaft and head attachments. Each main bearing bulkhead supports
both a cam bearing and a main bearing. The bulkhead is well ribbed to support and
distribute loads applied to it. This gives the block structural rigidity and beam
11
stiffness. The cylinders are surrounded by cooling passages. The block has drilled
passages for the flow of coolant and lubricating oil separately. The head, pan, and
timing cover are fixed to the block with sealed joints for eliminating leakage. Gaskets
are used in the joints to take up machining irregularities and to absorb variations due
to pressure and temperature extremities.
It is basically maintenance or repairing in the loco shop as well as all over Pakistan.
Any part which is not working or out of order or any part is out of working, they
claim for the part to the mill wright shop. If the work is done on the spot they done it
there and if not they take the problem part to their shop and after repairing they install
in again. If the part is not repairable then they make a new part of that.
Tool shop is responsible to provide cutting tools of machines and different types of
dies for railways workshops, e.g. drills, shanks for tips, dies & punches etc. there are
3 precious machines and also 1 engraving machine

Chapter 4
Different types of lathe machine are used in this shop for various
operations
The lathe is a machine tool used principally for shaping articles of metal (and
sometimes wood or other materials) by causing the workpiece to be held and rotated
by the lathe while a tool bit is advanced into the work causing the cutting action. The
basic lathe that was designed to cut cylindrical metal stock has been developed further
to produce screw threads. tapered work. Drilled holes. knurled surfaces, and
crankshafts. The typical lathe provides a variety of rotating speeds and a means to
manually and automatically move the cutting tool into the workpiece. Machinists and
maintenance shop personnel must be thoroughly familiar with the lathe and its
operations to accomplish the repair and fabrication of needed parts.
Lathes can be divided into three types for easy identification: operator can
accomplish more machining jobs with the engine lathes, turret lathes, and special
purpose lathes. Small engine lathe than with any other machine tool. Turret lathes
lathes can be bench mounted, are lightweight, and can be and special purpose lathes
are usually used in production ortransported in wheeled vehicles easily. The larger
lathes are job shops for mass production or specialized parts.
1. Centre lathe
15
Figure 4. 1 Centre Lathe
2. Bench lathe
3. Turret lathe
The turret lathe is a form of metalworking lathe that is used for
repetitive production of duplicate parts, which by the nature of their
cutting process are usually interchangeable. It evolved from earlier lathes
with the addition of the turret, which is an indexable toolholder that
allows multiple cutting operations to be performed, each with a
different cutting tool, in easy, rapid succession, with no need for the
operator to perform set-up tasks in between, such as installing or
uninstalling tools, nor to control the toolpath. The latter is due to the
toolpath's being controlled by the machine, either in jig-like fashion, via
the mechanical limits placed on it by the turret's slide and stops, or
via electronically-directed servomechanisms for computer numerical
control lathes.

1. Vertical mill
18
Figure 4. 3 Vertical Milling
A horizontal mill has the same sort but the cutters are mounted on a
horizontal spindle (see Arbor milling) across the table. Many horizontal
mills also feature a built-in rotary table that allows milling at various
angles; this feature is called a universal table. While endmills and the
other types of tools available to a vertical mill may be used in a horizontal
mill, their real advantage lies in arbor-mounted cutters, called side and
face mills, which have a cross section rather like a circular saw, but are
generally wider and smaller in diameter. Because the cutters have good
support from the arbor and have a larger cross-sectional area than an end
mill, quite heavy cuts can be taken enabling rapid material removal rates.
These are used to mill grooves and slots. Plain mills are used to shape flat
surfaces. Several cutters may be ganged together on the arbor to mill a
complex shape of slots and planes. Special cutters can also cut grooves,
bevels, radii, or indeed any section desired. These specialty cutters tend to
be expensive. Simplex mills have one spindle, and duplex mills have two.
It is also easier to cut gears on a horizontal mill. Some horizontal milling
machines are equipped with a power-take-off provision on the table. This
allows the table feed to be synchronized to a rotary fixture, enabling the
milling of spiral features such as hypoid gears.
20
Figure 4. 4 Horizontal Milling Machine
The universal machine can be fitted with various attachments such as the
indexing fixture, rotary table, slotting and rack cutting attachments, and various
special fixtures The basic difference between a universal horizontal milling
machine and a plain horizontal milling machine is the addition of a table swivel
housing between the table and the saddle of the universal machine. This
permits the table to swing up to 45° in either direction for angular and helical
milling operations.

Figure 4. 6 Grinding Machine
A
grinding machine, often shortened to grinder, is any of various power
tools or machine tools used for grinding, which is a type
of machining using an abrasive wheel as the cutting tool. Each grain of
abrasive on the wheel's surface cuts a small chip from the workpiece via
shear deformation. Grinding is used to finish workpieces that must show
high surface quality (e.g., low surface roughness) and high accuracy of
shape and dimension. As the accuracy in dimensions in grinding is of the
order of 0.000025 mm, in most applications it tends to be a finishing
operation and removes comparatively little metal, about 0.25 to 0.50 mm
depth. However, there are some roughing applications in which grinding
removes high volumes of metal quite rapidly. Thus, grinding is a diverse
field .

It is even possible to do work that might now be done by wire
EDM in some cases. Starting from a drilled or cored hole, a planer
with a boring-bar type tool can cut internal features that don't lend
themselves to milling or boring (such as irregularly shaped holes
with tight corners)

as it solidifies. A metal casting is created. Although this seems rather
simple, the manufacturing process of metal casting is both a science and
an art. First, molds can be classified as either open or closed. An open
mold is a container, like a cup, that has only the shape of the desired part.

Figure 5. 5 Tilting Furnace
The cupola is the most widely used furnace in the foundry for
melting ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys. A cross-section of a
cupola is shown. A cupola is a shaft furnace of cylindrical shape erected
on legs or columns. The cupola shell is made of steel plate 8 or 10 mm
thick. The interior is lined with refractory bricks to protect the shell from
37
getting over-heated. The charge for the cupola consists of metallic
material, fuel and fluxes.
First of all, the waste material dumped on the floor under the
furnace after the previous heat must be cleared away. The cupola repair
man enters the cooled furnace and cleans out the slag and refuses on the
lining and around the tuyeres from the previous run. Any bad spots or
broken bricks are repaired with a refractory material to return the lining to
its original shape .Then the bottom doors are swung into the position and
the prop placed under them .all cracks are closed with fire clay and a layer
of black molding sand is placed on bottom .This sand is rammed down and
given aslope towards the spout.

Spring Shop
1n this shop all types of springs are prepared and manufactured here.
6.1 Spring
40
There are three class of spring
1-coile spring/helical spring
2-leaf springs
3-spiral springs
1. Coil spring
A coil spring, also known as a helical spring, is a mechanical device,
which is typically used to store energy due to resilience and subsequently
release it, to absorb shock, or to maintain a force between contacting
surfaces. They are made of an elastic material formed into the shape of a
helix which returns to its natural length when unloaded .

Valve assemblies in engines
It has some means of transferring the load from the support to the
body by means of some arrangement. The wire is coiled in a sequence that
the turn is at right angles to the axis of the spring.

6.2.1 Coiling
46
Figure 6. 9 Coiling
For extension or torsion springs, the ends are bent into the desired loops,
hooks, or straight sections after the coiling operation is completed.
2 Hot winding . Thicker wire or bar stock can be coiled into springs if the
metal is heated to make it flexible. Standard industrial coiling machines
can handle steel bar up to 3 in (75 mm) in diameter, and custom springs
have reportedly been made from bars as much as 6 in (150 mm) thick. The
47
steel is coiled around a mandrel while red hot. Then it is immediately
removed from the coiling machine and plunged into oil to cool it quickly
and harden it. At this stage, the steel is too brittle to function as a spring,
and it must subsequently be tempered.
6.2.2 Hardening
Heat treating. Whether the steel has been coiled hot or cold, the process
has created stress within the material. To relieve this stress and allow the
steel to maintain its characteristic resilience, the spring must be tempered
by heat treating it. The spring is heated in an oven, held at the appropriate
temperature for a predetermined time, and then allowed to cool slowly.
For example, a spring made of music wire is heated to 500°F (260°C) for
one hour
6.2.3 Finishing
4 Grinding. If the design calls for flat ends on the spring, the ends
are ground at this stage of the manufacturing process. The spring is
mounted in a jig to ensure the correct orientation during grinding,
48
and it is held against a rotating abrasive wheel until the desired
degree of flatness is obtained. When highly automated equipment is
used, the spring is held in a sleeve while both ends are ground
simultaneously, first by coarse wheels and then by finer wheels. An
appropriate fluid (water or an oil-based substance) may be used to
cool the spring, lubricate the grinding wheel, and carry away
particles during the grinding.
5 Shot peening. This process strengthens the steel to resist metal
fatigue and cracking during its lifetime of repeated flexings. The
entire surface of the spring is exposed to a barrage of tiny steel
balls that hammer it smooth and compress the steel that lies just
below the surface.
49
Figure 6. 12 Different Types of springs
There are three basic types of grinding machines used for spring end grinding, ‘crash’
grinders, ‘crush’ grinders and single end grinders. The first two types, crash and
crush, grind both ends of the spring simultaneously and are the most common.
Crash grinders pass the springs between two rotating disc grinding wheels on a
rotating table. The grinding wheels are a fixed distance apart from each other and the
springs are compressed slightly by entrance guides as they enter the wheels.
The upper grinding wheel is adjusted to have a wider gap between the wheels at the
point where the spring enters the wheels. This gap is typically set to be somewhere
between ¼ and ½ the wire diameter of the spring. The springs are passed only once
between the grinding wheels. Machines are available in a variety of sizes, employing
different diameter grinding wheels. Typically, larger machines with larger diameter
wheels are used to grind larger diameter wire springs.
For springs that require two passes through the grinding wheels to remove all of the
stock necessary, some machines come with two sets of heads. The springs are passed
between both sets of heads, the first set usually referred to as ‘roughers’ and the
second set as ‘finishers’.
50
Figure 6. 13 Crash Grinder Process
The springs are feed into the machine by means of a rotary table with bushings to hold the
springs. It is important that the springs are carried across the entire face of the wheel. If
the grinding wheels have a center hole, the springs should break into the center by
approximately ¼ of the spring diameter. If the springs do cross the entire grinding wheel
face, the wheel will not wear evenly and develop a high center. This will require frequent
dressing and will cause problems keeping the springs square.
At times, only a single end of the spring needs to be ground, or the spring is
too large to fit between a conventional spring grinder’s wheels. A single spindle end
grinder is most often used in this case.
These machines typically have a horizontal spindle. The springs are clamped into a
fixture that is rotated across the face of the grinding wheel.
51
6.4.1 Tempering
Tempering is a heat treatment technique applied to ferrous alloys,
such as steel or cast iron, to achieve greater toughness by decreasing
the hardness of the alloy. The reduction in hardness is usually
accompanied by an increase in ductility, thereby decreasing
the brittleness of the metal. Tempering is usually performed
after quenching, which is rapid cooling of the metal to put it in its hardest
state. Tempering is accomplished by controlled heating of the quenched
work-piece to a temperature below its "lower critical temperature". This is
also called the lower transformation temperature or lower arrest (A 1 )
temperature; the temperature at which the crystalline phases of the alloy,
called ferrite and cementite, begin combining to form a single-phase solid
solution referred to as austenite. Heating above this temperature is
avoided, so as not to destroy the very-hard, quenched microstructure,
called martensite.
Precise control of time and temperature during the tempering process is
crucial to achieve the desired balance of physical properties. Low
tempering temperatures may only relieve the internal stresses, decreasing
brittleness while maintaining a majority of the hardness. Higher tempering
temperatures tend to produce a greater reduction in the hardness,
sacrificing some yield strength and tensile strength for an increase
in elasticity and plasticity. However, in some low alloy steels, containing
other elements like chromium and molybdenum, tempering at low
temperatures may produce an increase in hardness, while at higher
temperatures the hardness will decrease. Many steels with high
concentrations of these alloying elements behave like precipitation
hardening alloys, which produces the opposite effects under the conditions
found in quenching and tempering, and are referred to as maraging steels
In carbon steels, tempering alters the size and distribution of carbides in
the martensite, forming a microstructure called "tempered martensite".
Tempering is also performed on normalized steels and cast irons, to
increase ductility, machinability, and impact strength. [3 ] Steel is usually
tempered evenly, called "through tempering," producing a nearly uniform
hardness, but it is sometimes heated unevenly, referred to as "differential
tempering," producing a variation in hardness [ 5 ]
52
imparted to the steel, it may bend elastically (the steel returns to its
original shape once the load is removed), or it may bend plastically (the
steel does not return to its original shape, resulting in permanent
deformation), before fracturing. Tempering is used to precisely balance
the mechanical properties of the metal, such as shear strength, yield
strength, hardness, ductility and tensile strength, to achieve any number of
a combination of properties, making the steel useful for a wide variety of
applications. Tools such as hammers and wrenches require good resistance
to abrasion, impact resistance, and resistance to deformation. Springs do
not require as much rigidity, but must deform elastically before breaking.
Automotive parts tend to be a little less rigid, but need to deform
plastically before breaking.
Except in rare cases where maximum rigidity and hardness are needed,
such as the untempered steel used for files, quenched steel is almost
always tempered to some degree. However, steel is sometimes annealed
through a process called normalizing, leaving the steel only partially
softened. Tempering is sometimes used on normalized steels to further
soften it, increasing the malleability and machinability for
easier metalworking. Tempering may also be used on welded steel, to
relieve some of the stresses and excess hardness created in the heat
affected zone around the weld.
53
strength than toughness, such as tools, are usually not tempered above
205 °C (401 °F). Instead, a variation in hardness is usually produced by
varying only the tempering time. When increased toughness is desired at
the expense of strength, higher tempering temperatures, from 370 to
540 °C (698 to 1,004 °F), are used. Tempering at even higher
temperatures, between 540 and 600 °C (1,004 and 1,112 °F), will produce
excellent toughness, but at a serious reduction in the strength and
hardness. At 600 °C (1,112 °F), the steel may experience another stage of
embrittlement, called "temper embrittlement" (TE), which occurs if the
steel is held within the TE temperature range for too long. When heating
above this temperature, the steel will usually not be held for any amount
of time, and quickly cooled to avoid temper embrittlement

the armature to the axle.
Allow the bogie to be lifted by crane without any need to tie chains or
ropes around the frame.
7.3.8 Motor:
Normally, each axle has its own motor. It drives the axle through the
gearbox. Some designs, particularly on tramcars, use a motor to drive two
axles.
Where a Wheel Slide Protection (WSP) system is fitted, axle boxes are
fitted with speed sensors. These are connected by means of a cable
attached to the WSP box cover on the axle end.
The motor circuits are connected to the traction equipment in the car or
locomotive by flexible leads shown here.

Chapter 8
The exhaust gas discharge from all the cylinders accumulate in the
common exhaust manifold at the end of which, turbo- supercharger is
fitted. The gas under pressure there after enters the turbo- supercharger
through the torpedo shaped bell mouth connector and then passes through
the fixed nozzle ring. Then it is directed on the turbine blades at increased
pressure and at the most suitable angle to achieve rotary motion of the
turbine at maximum efficiency. After rotating the turbine, the exhaust gas
goes out to the atmosphere through the exhaust chimney. The turbine has a
centrifugal blower mounted at the other end of the same shaft and the
60
rotation of the turbine drives the blower at the same speed. The blower
connected to the atmosphere through a set of oil bath filters, sucks air
from atmosphere, and delivers at higher velocity. The air then passes
through the diffuser inside the turbo- supercharger, where the velocity is
diffused to increase the pressure of air before it is delivered from the
turbo- supercharger.
Pressurizing air increases its density, but due to compression heat
develops. It causes expansion and reduces the density. This effects supply
of high-density air to the engine. To take care of this, air is passed through
a heat exchanger known as after cooler. The after cooler is a radiator,
where cooling water of lower temperature is circulated through the tubes
and around the tubes air passes. The heat in the air is thus transferred to
the cooling water and air regains its lost density. From the after cooler air
goes to a common inlet manifold connected to each cylinder head. In the
suction stroke as soon as the inlet valve opens the booster air of higher
pressure density rushes into the cylinder completing the process of super
charging.
The engine initially starts as naturally aspirated engine. With the increased
quantity of fuel injection increases the exhaust gas pressure on the turbine.
Thus the self-adjusting system maintains a proper air and fuel ratio under
all speed and load conditions of the engine on its own. The maximum
rotational speed of the turbine is 18000/22000 rpm for the Turbo
supercharger and creates max. Of 1.8 kg/cm 2 air pressure in air manifold
of diesel engine, known as Booster Air Pressure (BAP). Low booster
pressure causes black smoke due to incomplete combustion of fuel. High
exhaust gas temperature due to after burning of fuel may result in
considerable damage to the turbo supercharger and other component in the
engine.

Future Recommendations about Pakistan railway
workshops
I would like to give some recommendations to improve the quality of work
and save time along the health of the workers because during our visit we
observed that the workers are not playing with their own lives which are a
great loss of man power.
Motivation comes for any work, from within and heavily depends on
individual consideration, which are bound to be different for each human
positiveness of character makes him/her flexible, tolerant and sound in any
specific consideration. The positiveness heavily depends on the
individual’s education and curiosity
Pakistan railway workshop mughalpura Lahore is the best place where you
can learn many things about related to mechanical works. This is the
Asia’s largest mechanical workshop here you can see all operations and
mechanical practical’s.
