CHAPTER 5

REFLECTION NOTES
We had done the internship in Aradhya Steel Pvt. Ltd., for the duration of 4 weeks.
The main production of Aradhya Steel Pvt. Ltd., is to manufacture the tyre bead wire which
are helpful for the strengthening of the tyres and the wire ropes which are used in the heavy
lifting of the objects in the crane. The main supplies of raw materials for this industry is
Jindal steel.

On the first day of the internship I had of the gone through the systematic procedure for the
manufacturing of tyre bead wire. The main procedure of the tyre bead wire consists of:
 Pre-drawing of the raw materials.
1. Loading of the coils.
2. Descaling of the wire is made in order make it free from scales.
3. Jet wash is been in order to improve the impurities.
4. Acid Bath is made with the help of the HCL acid.
5. Water rinsing.
6. Borax Coating is been done which acts as the lubricant and also neutralizes the
acid content in wire.
7. Drying.
8. Inspection and turning of the wire.
9. Storage.
 Pretending-1and Pretending-2 the heat treatment in order to increase the properties of
raw materials.
1. Heat treatment at the several zones that is zone 1 of 950°c,zone 2 of
1045°c,zone 3 of 1010°c,zone 4 of 990°c, zone 5 of 980°c.
2. Lead bath is made in order to cool the inner core.
3. Water cooling the cold water is used as the lubricants.
4. Acid bath using the HCL acid.
5. Water rinse which will wash the acid.
6. Phosphate Bath which is used for coating and lubrication proposes.
7. Water rinse which neutralizes from the phosphate bath.
8. Borax bath for the bonding the neutralizing proposes.
9. Dryer the hot air is been used.

10. Take up.

 Bead wire machining which consists of several types of the drums in order to reduce
the thickness of the wire from the 5.5-6.5mm to the 1.6-3mm. The several die are
been used in the decreasing order in several drums in order to decrease the thickness
of the wire.
 Rolling quality machining which also consists of the several types of the drums which
is helpful in reduction of the thickness of the wire from 1.6-3mm to 0.965-0.30mm.
 Tire Bead Coating is done in order to increase the properties and the surface finish of
the wires.
1. Lead bath of 445°c relieves the stress.
2. Charcoal is used to avoid the lead with wire.
3. Sand tray is used to avoid the lead and the charcoal.
4. Quench bath the water is been used to remove the dirt.
5. Alkali bath of caustic soda use for cleaning propose.
6. Water rinse to avoid the alkali content.
7. Acid bath of HCL having the 16% and 18% concentration.
8. Water rinse to avoid the acid.
9. Air wiper to dry the wire.
10. Activator bath the small amount of HCL is used.
11. Bronze Bath for the coating and the chemicals used are copper sulphate and
tin sulphate.
12. Temperature maintenance of 23° to 17°c.
13. Hot water bath of temperature 70°c.
14. Air wiper.
15. Dryer of temperature 145°c.

The main procedure for the manufacturing of the wire ropes:

 Pre-drawing of the raw materials.

 Wire draw is been made to reduce the thickness of the wire. It consists of two types of
machining:
1. Wet machining: Galvanized sized wire is been made by the draw wire with the
suitable die of 0.20mm and the water coolant is been used.

Dept.Of Mech Engg,JIT,Davanagere. Page 21

2. Standing machining: final rope is been made of 20mm having the inner rope
of 8.8mm.

I had allowed the several departments of the industry like HR department, Purchasing
department and the Maintenance department etc.

For the rest of the days I have asked to do the sketches of the several machinery parts
by using the solid edge software by taking the dimensions manually using the
instruments. The sketches of the machine parts are above mentioned.

CHAPTER 6

CONCLUSIONS

Organisation study at Aradhya steels PVT ltd., provided me a very good opportunity
to know about the organisational structure, formation and its working. It helped me to gain
practical knowledge about different functions of various departments of the company. All the
staffs in the company were very much co-operative and very keen to explain each aspect.
This study helped to acquire practical knowledge in this field. This study will be of great
benefit for my future career.
The main purpose of the study is to make the students acquainted with the practical
knowledge about the overall functioning of the organisation. It gives opportunity to study the
human behaviour and also makes one ready to face different situations, which normally
would come across while on work in the factory or office environment.
The study gave an opportunity to know about the industrial world. Being with the
company helped me to learn how the management theories and concept are applied in an
organisation. It gives an opportunity to see how few managers manage a number of
employees and machines to run the company with a profit. More over the company visit was
a good exposure to learn about the working conditions of the organization. It also helped to
know how the companies optimally utilize its assets, reduce its cost of production which well
helps them gain profits. Important aspects noticed in the company was the company has
maintained good discipline and even employees are very friendly and co-operative.
The functions and complex nature of work carried out at Aradhya steels Pvt Limited
was understood during the course of preparation of the project. I got the clear picture about
the company financial structure and how to manage all the department and the company
current financial position.
