A high carbon steel solid cylindrical piece having diameter 45 mm and height by 25% at room temperature using open die forging. Calculate the forging force at the end of stroke assuming the coefficient of friction as 0.15 and the work metal strength coefficient 'K' as 425 MPa and strain hardening exponent 'n' as 0.15.

2.b
A cylindrical riser for which diameter of the riser is equal to the riser is to be designed for a sand casting mould for the size of steel casting as 35 mm x 60 mm x 25 mm. The previous observations indicated the total solidification time for the said casting is 72 second. However, find the size of the riser to obtain total solidification time of 112 seconds.

6.b
A cup of internal diameter 40 mm, height 65 mm is to be drawn from a 1.6 mm cold rolled steel with ultimate tensile strength of 360 MPa. The corner radius for cylindrical cup is 1.2 mm. Percentage reduction pormitted in the first draw is 50% and in the second, third and fourth draw is 35%, 20% and 15% and 15% respectively. Consider trimming allowance of 3.2 mm for each 25 mm of cup diameter Find size of the blank number of draws required, punch and die dimensions and drawing pressure for each draw. Consider value of die constant 'c' as 0.7 and value of punch and die clearance as 1.15 times thickness of sheet.

8.b
A workpiece of 90 mm diameter is to be turned down to 82 mm diameter. The length of the workpiece is 124 mm. The maximum allowable depth of cut is 0.8 mm. Assume feed as 0.22 mm/rev and cutting speed as 250 m/min. If the approach length is 25 mm and ever travel is 15 mm then calculate the spindle revolution(RPM) and machining time for each pass if feed as 0.22 mm/rev and cutting speed as 250 m/min is kept constant for all the passes. Also, find the total machining time for all the passes.
