Assuming that the distance between the 2 bearings is equal to twice the piston diameter D
Distance from the bearings to the piston axis = b1=b2 = b/2
Results:
t = 40 mm
w = 71 mm
Total stress on the crank web = Bending stress + Direct compressive stress =23.906 N/mm2
It is less than the limiting stress of 75 N/mm2. Hence the design is safe.

We know that due to the weight of the flywheel acting downwards, there will be two vertical
reactions at bearings
We have the vertical reactions V1 and V2 to be 3453 N (V1 and V2 are equal since the load is
distributed equally and assumed to act at the centre)
l1 = l2 = l3 = 2 (b/2 – lc/2 - t) = 56 mm
c = 56 + 30 = 86 mm
Allowing space for gearing and clearance, let us take c = 100 mm.
c1 = c2 = c/2 = 50 mm
On simplification we get, ds = 38 mm
Result:

In order to find the thrust in the connecting rod (FQ), we should first find out the angle of
inclination of the connecting rod with the line of stroke (i.e. angle φ). We know that
Fq = Fp / cos φ
dc = 49 mm
Since this value of crankpin diameter (i.e. dc = 49 mm) is less than the already calculated value
of dc = 52 mm, therefore, we shall take dc = 52 mm.
RESULT:
The resulting bending moment on the shaft will be same as calculated earlier, i.e.
MS = 172650 N-mm
We have ds = 33 mm
Since this value of Shaft diameter (i.e. ds = 38 mm – calculated on basis of Max. bending
moment) is greater than the calculated value of ds = 33 mm (Through maximum twisting
moment), therefore, we shall take ds = 38 mm.
RESULT:
Fig.2 Crank Shaft at maximum twisting moment
We also know that bending moment due to the radial component of FQ,
Shear stress = T/Zp (where Zp is the polar moment of Inertia given by wx t2 /4.5)
Since the maximum combined stress is within the safe limits, therefore, the dimension
w = 71 mm is accepted.

DIAMETER OF THE CRANK PIN = 52 mm
Crank shafts uses Medium carbon steel along with some alloying elements. Medium-carbon
steel alloys are composed of predominantly the element iron, and contain a small percentage of
carbon (0.25% to 0.45), along with combinations of several alloying elements, the mix of which
has been carefully designed in order to produce specific qualities in the target alloy, including
hardenability, surface and core hardness, ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, endurance limit
(fatigue strength), ductility, impact resistance and corrosion resistance. The alloying elements
typically used in these carbon steels are manganese, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, silicon,
cobalt and vanadium. Each of those elements adds specific properties in a given material. The
carbon content is the main determinant of the ultimate strength and hardness to which such an
alloy can be heat treated.
Crankshafts are formed by the Hot Forging process, in which a billet of suitable size is heated
to the appropriate forging temperature, typically in the range of 1050 - 1250°C, and then
successively pounded or pressed into the desired shape by squeezing the billet between pairs of
dies (Closed die forging) under very high pressure. These die sets have the concave negative
form of the desired external shape. Complex shapes and / or extreme deformations often require
more than one set of dies to accomplish the shaping.
After Forging, the flash formed is removed by Gas cutting.

Proposal by IE Team:
1. Initially a machine with a stroke speed of 30 sec per stroke was chosen with a tonnage of 200
tonnes. Since we are going for mass production IE team proposed a change in the machine tonnage of
500 tonnes and a stroke speed of 15 sec per stroke
After this the raw material is held in the chuck and facing is done on one
side. It involves moving the cutting tool at right angles to the axis of rotation of the
rotating work piece. This can be performed by the operation of the cross-slide (Radial
feed) as distinct from the longitudinal feed (turning).An allowance of about 5 mm is
given for facing on one side. After this the other side is also faced for about 5 mm along
the length. For both the processes, Lathe is used with the specification of distance
between centers more than 1000 mm.
After Facing, the centre drill is used and centering is done on both sides which will
enable to hold the work piece between centers

Facing:
Speed : 25 m/s
Proposal by IE Team:
1. IE team is satisfied with the machine to be used since we are using same machine for Rough
turning, finish turning and facing operations.
2. For Facing process IE team suggested a cutting speed of 25 m/s instead of 20m/s and the
cutting tool of High Speed Steel has the ability to perform machining at those speeds
After facing, the work piece is held between centers and turning is done. That is,
the part is rotated while a single point cutting tool is moved parallel to the axis of
rotation. Turning is done on all diameters. Turning allowance of 4 mm is provided on all
the diameters..

Proposal by IE Team:
After rough turning, Finish turning is done on a CNC lathe. Here the job is initially
held between centers. The CNC turning is similar to normal turning except that the
operations to be performed are already pre-programmed and the numerical controller
actuates and controls the process. Allowance of 1 mm is provided for this process

Oil holes deliver vital lubrication to contact points between piston connecting rods
and crankshafts in truck and car engines. For this, crankshaft in a horizontal position
and is mounted on a radial drilling machine since oil holes have to be drilled
perpendicular and at angles to the horizontal axis. Total of 8 oil holes (2 per Journal) of
diameter 4 mm are to be drilled at angles of 45 and 135 degrees. To drill the holes at
the angles (with respect to axis), the radial arm which can be swiveled about the vertical
axis is used.

1. Since the shape of the crank shaft is complex and the oil holes have to be drilled at an angle a
special jig has to be designed for the drilling process
Regarding the steel alloys typically used in high-grade crankshafts, the desired
ultimate (and hence yield and fatigue) strength of the material is produced by a ‘heat
treatment’.
The typical heat-treating process for carbon-steel alloys is first to transform the
structure of the rough-machined part into austenite crystalline structure by heating the
part in an oven until the temperature throughout the part stabilizes in the neighborhood
of 1550°F to 1650°F) in an Induction furnace for about 2 hrs (Hardening). Next, the part
is removed from the heating oven and rapidly cooled in a medium of oil (Quenching) to
extract heat from the part at a rate sufficient to transform a large percentage of the
austenitic structure into fine-grained martensite. The desired martensitic post-quench
crystalline structure of the steel is the high-strength, high-hardness, form of the iron-
carbon solution. The rate of cooling required to achieve maximum transformation varies
with the harden-ability of the material, determined by the combination of alloying
elements.
After quenching the alloy steel material has reached a very high strength and
hardness, but, it lacks sufficient ductility and impact resistance. In order to produce the
combination of material properties deemed suitable for a given application, the part is
placed in a ‘Tempering’ oven and soaked for a specific amount of time at temperature
of 800 to 900 degree Celsius in order to reduce the hardness to the desired level, hence
producing the desired strength, ductility, impact resistance and other desired
mechanical properties.

Black oxide layer formed during heat treatment process is removed by Shot blasting.
Shot blasting is a process that is often used to clean the surface of a material. The
process usually involves a gun that is used to shoot various types of media, or shot, at
the object being blasted. This is a particularly effective method for removing scale, rust,
paint, and minor surface flaws from metal objects. Also it helps to reduce the residual
stresses developed during the Heat treatment process.

Operation 8: Straightening
For straightening of Crank shafts at the seat of distortion / bent due to mechanical
and thermal stresses, Hydraulic press (of 2 Tonne capacity) is used. Crank shaft is
mounted on a V- Block and the dial indicator is moved along the length to check for any
bents. From the dial indicator reading it can be identified whether the crank shaft is bent
or not.

The crankshaft nose is placed into the head stock chuck and the crankshaft end
where the flywheel is to be mounted is held in the tail stock chuck. At this point the main
journals can be ground. The rod journals are ground after the grinding of the rod
journals. Grinding allowance of 50 microns is provided for the rough grinding process.
After this process the crank shaft is taken to CNC grinding machine. Process
and holding the Job is similar to the rough grinding except that process is more of a
finishing process rather the material removal process. Grinding allowance of 10 microns
is provided for finish grinding
