ENGINE DIVISION
FABRICATION OF ENGINE BLOCK
Steel plates of sizes up to 80 mm thick
are ultrasonically tested before being
precision cut by numerically controlled
flame cutting machines. Fabrication of
engine block is completed by submerged
arc welding using semi-automatic welding
machines. Down-hand welding is ensured
using specially designed petitioners.
Special fixtures are used for making
down-hand welding possible in
inaccessible areas. Critical welds are
subjected to radiographic examination. All
welders are periodically tested and re-
qualified for the assigned job
VEHICLE DIVISION
UNDERFRAMES & SUPERSTRUCTURES
Precision cutting and forming of sheet metal is
utilized for manufacture of superstructures
including drivers cab, engine hoods, and
compartments for housing electrical equipment.
All activities connected with pipes like pickling,
bending, cutting, forming and threading of
pipes of various sizes are undertaken in
another well-equipped work area. In yet
another work area, all electrical equipment is
assembled in the fabricated control
compartments and driver’s control stands.
Under frames are fabricated taking all due care
to ensure designed weld strength. Care is
taken to impart the requisite camber to the
under frame during fabrication itself. Wherever
required, welds are tested radio graphically.
Welder training and their technical competence
is periodically reviewed.
BOGIE MANUFACTURING
Large special purpose machines are
utilized for machining cast and
fabricated bogie frames. In the same
work area, axle and wheel disc
machining is undertaken on
sophisticated CNC machines. Inner
diameter of wheel discs are carefully
matched with the outer diameter of
axles before the wheel discs are
pressed onto axles, at designated
pressure, using a specially designed
wheel press. The complete truck
(bogie), including bogie frames,
wheels and axles, brake rigging and
traction motors is assembled before
being sent onwards for locomotive
assembly.
LOCOMOTIVE ASSEMBLY & TESTING
Assembled and tested engines are receive in
this Shop from Engine Division. Also, under
frames, assembled trucks, superstructures and
contractor compartments are received from
respective manufacturing and assembly shops
of Vehicle Division. Important alignments like
crank shaft deflection, compressor alignment
and Eddy Current clutch/radiator fan alignment
are done during assembly stage itself.
Electrical control equipments are fitted and
control cable harnessing is undertaken. The
complete locomotive is thus assembled before
being sent onwards for final testing and spray
painting.
Rigorous testing of all locomotive systems is
conducted as per laid down test procedures
before the locomotive is taken up for final
painting and dispatch.

ROTOR SHOP
This shop is deals with the manufacturing of Turbocharger.
Turbocharger is known as the Heart of Diesel Locomotive. Basically in this
section manufacturing of assembly & sub assembly of Turbocharger is
made. But the outer casing of Turbocharger is made up in Heavy Machine
Shop.
Turbocharger is use for the providing fresh air to the engine. Due to
this the efficiency & power generated by engine is increased. For the
running of Turbocharger we are not using any extra energy source like
generator, motor etc. For starting of Turbocharger generally we use exhaust
gasses.
Components of Turbocharger:--
For assembly of Turbojet following parts are manufactures in rotor
shop----
1. Impeller
2. Inducer
3. Nose piece
4. Stud Rotor
5. Nut
6. Washer
7. Thrust Washer
8. Key
9. Oil Slinger
10. Turbine Disc
11.Turbo Shaft
12. Lock plate
Assembly of Turbocharger:--
The assembly of turbocharger is done by dividing whole
turbocharger in three parts. These are as follows----
1. Rotor
2. Compressor
3. Casing
1. Rotor:--
Rotor is the inlet part of turbocharger which is comprises with
following parts. Turbo Disc, Rotor stud, Turbo shaft, thrust collar, Nose
disc, Washer & Nut.
Rotor is rotating at speed of 18000 rpm & working at high
temperature due to that the rotor is made of steel.
2. Compressor:--
Compressor is the combination of impeller & inducer. Impeller is
made up of Al-alloy. Impeller & inducer is use for sucking of fresh air
from environment.
3. Casing:--
Casing is made of M.S. & also a special type of coating is done. Due
to that coating it can easily resist the heat.
For the proper working & life of Turbocharger balancing of impeller,
inducer & turbine disc is done by help of Dynamics Balancing Machine.
Working of Turbocharger:--
Exhaust gasses are entering form inlet strikes onto the nozzle
disc. Then after it will strike onto the turbine blade. Due to this the
turbine starts rotating at a speed from 0-18000rpm. It will be transfer the
motion to compressor which is comprises with impeller & inducer. From
that rotation sucking of fresh air from environment is occurring. That air
is now entered in intermediate casing and blow from blower casing.
That air is contains some dust particles and also temperature of
that coming air is high. For removing heat and dust particles a special
arrangement will be done in between the blower casing and cylinder.
That special arrangement comprises with continuous flow of water.
For ALCO, simple turbocharger is use. In ALCO the power required
is less up to level of 2600-1350 HP i.e. there is not any arrangement of
starting of turbine. So initially when the engine is at starting position the
rich mixture enters into the cylinder. When exhaust gasses are generate
then the turbocharger is in working conditions.
For GM Loco, we are using self starting turbocharger. In this a special
arrangement will be done for starting of turbocharger. Main shaft is
connected to the crank shaft of main engine i.e. by this arrangement
initial starting problem is removed. And after that all the working of
turbocharger is same as ALCO. Here the sun & planet gear combination
is present which is come in slip position after achieving proper speed of
turbine blade.
In turbocharger, lubrication system is also provided for increasing life
of turbocharger’s subassembly.
Induction Section:-
In induction section, stress leaving & hardening of cam shaft, its
bearing & cam lobes is done at different temperatures. In induction type
hardening we are using copper coil for hardening.
Stress leaving is done below critical temperature. Cam shat is made
up of alloy steel i.e. we are doing stress leaving process at a temp 723°C.
After that hardening is done by induction coil. The major drawback of this
process is to decide what the exact temp is for stress leaving or hardening.
In induction method copper coils are heated due to this induction
current will generate. This induction current produces an electromagnetic
force. Which attracts the carbon particles to the surfaces due to this the bond
breaking energy is developed & that energy is causes heating of material. At
that we can’t does any arrangement for measuring the temp of work piece.
• Hardening—At temp 800°C
• Quenching—Water+8 to 10 %polymer quench
• Tempering—below critical temp
Furnace Section:-
In this section we are using different type of furnaces for all the heat
treatment process will be done. For hardening carbon must be present up to
0.5%.Hardening is done in furnace at 920°C here thermocouple are attach
for measure exact temp of hardened material.
Quenching:-
Quenching is done after hardening of material. In this air
cooling is done. When our job is come at 100°C then other heat treatment
process is done.
Carburizing:-
Carburizing is process for those materials which has low
percentage of carbon. Carburizing is done in a special machine. Carburizing
is done by two methods first one is Wet & second is Gas. For wet, liquid
calcium carbonate is use.
Tempering:-
Tempering is done below critical temp to release stress
between hardened & unhardened zone to increase the life of job.
After that we are checking the hardness of job on Brinell Hardness
Machine. This is done on gauge room.
