 Selection of materials in manufacturing Bevelgear

The selection of materials for manufacturing bevel gears is a critical aspectthat directly affects the performance, durability, and reliability of the gears.Several factors should be considered when choosing the appropriatematerials for bevel gears, including mechanical properties, wear resistance,heat treatment characteristics, cost, and manufacturability.

1. Mechanical Properties:

The mechanical properties of the material used for bevel gears are of utmostimportance to ensure their strength, load-carrying capacity, and resistance tofatigue. Key mechanical properties to consider include:

- Strength: The material should have sufficient strength to withstand theapplied loads without deformation or failure. High-strength materials such asalloy steels or specialized gear steels are commonly used for bevel gears.

- Hardness: A suitable hardness level is necessary to resist wear andmaintain the gear's tooth profile integrity. Hardened materials such ascarburized or nitrided steels provide enhanced surface hardness.

- Toughness: The material should possess good toughness to withstandimpact loads and prevent brittle failure. Toughened steels or alloy steels withappropriate tempering can enhance toughness.

2. Wear Resistance:

Bevel gears undergo sliding contact during operation, which can lead to wearand surface damage. Selecting materials with high wear resistance ensureslonger gear life and improved performance. Materials with good wearresistance include case-hardened steels, alloy steels, or materials withsurface treatments like nitriding or carbonitriding.

3. Heat Treatment Characteristics:

Heat treatment plays a crucial role in enhancing the mechanical properties ofbevel gears. The selected material should have good heat treatmentcharacteristics, allowing for proper hardening, tempering, and case-hardening processes. Materials like alloy steels, tool steels, or specialty gearsteels are commonly used due to their excellent heat treatment response.

Cost:

The cost of materials is an important consideration in gear manufacturing.It is essential to strike a balance between material performance and cost-effectiveness. Some high-performance materials may be expensive, whileothers offer a good combination of properties at a lower cost. Material costshould be evaluated in relation to the specific requirements of theapplication.

Manufacturability:

The selected material should be easily machinable and forgeable toenable efficient and cost-effective manufacturing processes. Factors suchas machinability, formability, and forgeability need to be considered duringmaterial selection. Common materials used for bevel gears, such as alloysteels or specialized gear steels, are generally machinable and readilyavailable.

Environmental Factors:

Consider the operating conditions and environmental factors that thebevel gears will be exposed to. For example, if the gears will be used incorrosive environments, materials with good corrosion resistance, such asstainless steels or specialty alloys, may be required.

MINOR DISORDERS OF NEW BORN AND ITS MANAGEMENT - NURSING ASSIGNMENT

-
INTRODUCTION         Neonatal health problems are frequently found ranging from minor physical or physiological peculiarities to the serious life threatening illnesses. Minor problems should not be ignored lightly without adequate assessment of the conditions. Early diagnosis and management of the serious problems help to overcome life long disability and to reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality. Nurses are responsible to manage the minor problems and to detect the serious problems for early and prompt management along with appropriate nursing interventions and support to the mother. MINOR DISORDERS OF NEW BORN 1. VOMITING         Vomiting is one of the common manifestations in the neonates. Regurgitation after feeds should not be confused with vomiting. Mucus vomiting often hinged with blood is quite common soon after birth. It is due to irritation often gastric mucosa by the swallowed materials during birth. Causes: ·         Dietic ·         Over feeding

KANGAROO CARE - NURSING ASSIGNMENT

-
INTRODUCTION         Caring low birth weight baby is a great challenge for the neonatal care unit and the family. Number of low birth weighs baby is still for beyond the expected target in our country. The cost of the quality management of these babies is increasing day by day. Kangaroo care is low cost approach for the care of low birth weight baby. This method of care was introduced and popularized by Dr.Edger Ray, Dr.Martinez and Dr.Charpak in late 1970s. DEFINITION         Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a special way of caring low birth weight infants by skin to skin contact if promotes their health and welling by effective thermal control, breast feeding and bonding. KMC is initiated in hospital and continued at home. COMPONENTS OF KMC         In KMC, the infant is continuously kept in skin contact by the mother and breastfed exclusively to the utmost extent.         The two components of KMC are; 1.    Skin to skin contact is provi
