(f) A 400mm thick slab is to be cold rolled. The roll dia is 800mm and (c) With the help of neat sketch explain the working of Cupola furnace.

= 0.08. Determine the maximum possible reduction.

3. Attempt any Two of the following questions: 10 x 2 = 20

(a) Draw a neat sketch of a die punch assembly with accessories
parts/components. Also, explain how cutting operations such as
blanking or piercing differ from deep drawing operation.
(b) How can the cutting force be reduced in blanking operation?
Estimate the blanking force to cut a blank of 25mm wide and 30mm
long from a 1.5mm thick metal strip. if the ultimate shear stress of
the material is 40 N/mm 2. Also determine the work done, if the
percentage penetration is 25% of the material thickness.
(c) What is the role of clearance in blanking and piercing operations?
How are clearances provided on punch and die?
