ABSTRACT
The Engine cylinder is one of the major automobile components, which is subjected to
high temperature variations and thermal stresses. In order to cool the cylinder, fins are provided
on the cylinder to increase the rate of heat transfer. By doing thermal analysis on the engine
cylinder fins, it is helpful to know the heat dissipation inside the cylinder.
The principle implemented in this project is to increase the heat dissipation rate by using
the invisible working fluid, nothing but air. We know that, by increasing the surface area we can
increase the heat dissipation rate, so designing such a large complex engine is very difficult. The
main purpose of using these cooling fins is to cool the engine cylinder by any air.
In this project a parametric model of the cylinder fin body is created. For manufacturing
this pressure die casting is used. we are designing mould base for the cold chamber Furness.
Core and cavity are extracted and total mould base is designed for the manufacturing of cylinder
fin body.
CNC Program is to be generated for both core and cavity using roughing and finishing
processes. This is also done in manufacturing module in Pro/Engineer.
Modeling, core-cavity extraction and die design is done by using Pro/engineer software.
(i) It should remove only about 30% of the heat generated in the combustion chamber. Too much
cooling reduces the thermal efficiency of the engine.
(ii) A good cooling system should remove heat at a faster rate when the engine is hot. During
starting, the cooling should be very slow.
The components in the cylinder must be reasonably hot (250°C).
Over-cooling of the engine results in insufficient vaporization of fuel, loss of power, high fuel
consumption, higher emissions, starting troubles, excessive formation of sludge, lower thermal
efficiency and greater wear and tear of parts.
Methods of cooling
There are two methods of cooling an l.C. engine. They are:
1. Air cooling or Direct cooling.
2. Water cooling or Indirect cooling
In air cooling, air is circulated around the cylinder block and cylinder head, fins are provided
outside the cylinder and on the cylinder head. Fins increase the surface area exposed to the
atmosphere and the heat radiation from the surface also increases. More air passes over the fins
and comes contact with the cylinder, thus the engine heat is removed efficiently.
The use of fins increases the heat transfer surface by 5 to 10 times its original value (i.e. without
the use of fins). The high velocity of air required for cooling is obtained by the forward motion
of the engine (vehicle) itself. In stationary engine, air circulating fan is provided.
Application
The engine design is much simpler and lighter in weight than water cooling engine. These types
of cooling are used for small industrial engines and small capacity engines such as motor cycle
engine and scooter engine.
1. Air cooling is not as effective as water cooling and efficiency of the engine is reduced.
2. Engine parts are not uniformly cooled. The front portion of the engine which faces the air
is cooled more than the rear portion. This results in slight distortion.
3. Not suitable for multi-cylinder engines. This requires a separate fan for circulation.
4. Fans used for a stationary engine consumes 5% of engine power.
5. Such engines are suitable only for low horsepower engines.
Water cooling (Indirect cooling)
In this system, water is circulated around the cylinder and cylinder heat to carry away the heat.
The water passes through a passage called “water jacket” There are two methods of water
cooling;
(i) Natural circulation of water.
(ii) Forced circulation of water.
The cooling by natural circulation of water is also known thermo-syphon cooling. The principle
that water becomes less dense ‘ heating is the basis of this method of cooling. The radiator is
connection the water jacket at the top and bottom ends. As the water gets heat moves up and
travels through the radiator. There it gets cooled by the radiator fins and travels downwards.
The word radiator is not the correct word. In a radiator the transfer of heat from coolant to the air
is by conduction and forced convention and not radiation.
A drain tap is provided for removing water periodically.
The water pump draws cold water from the radiator. This cold water is forced into the water
jackets of the cylinder. The rate of circulation of water is increased. Thus the engine parts are
cooled efficiently. After circulating, the hot water enters the radiator top. The hot water in the
radiator flows from top to bottom. The heat from the water is cooled by the radiator fins and it
gets circulated again by the water pump. A fan also be provided near the radiator for rapid
transfer of heat from radiator to the outside air.
Since water is circulated by a pump it may become very cold. The water temperature should not
go below 75°C, since this will cause corrosion and acid formation which attack the cylinder
barrel. A temperature controller thermostat valve is provided to control the cooling of water. If
the temperature below 75°C, water is bypassed and when temperature reaches 75°C or above
thermostat valve opens, hot water flows through the radiator and get cooled.
A drain tap is provided at the bottom of the radiator for the removal of water periodically.
Application
This system is used in light and heavy duty vehicles. It is general in automobile engines such as
buses, lorries, cars and trucks.
Disadvantages of water-cooling
Computer-aided design (CAD), also known as computer-aided design and drafting (CADD),
is the use of computer technology for the process of design and design-documentation. Computer
Aided Drafting describes the process of drafting with a computer. CADD software, or
environments, provide the user with input-tools for the purpose of streamlining design processes;
drafting, documentation, and manufacturing processes. CADD output is often in the form of
electronic files for print or machining operations. The development of CADD-based software is
in direct correlation with the processes it seeks to economize; industry-based software
(construction, manufacturing, etc.) typically uses vector-based (linear) environments whereas
graphic-based software utilizes raster-based (pixelated) environments.
CADD environments often involve more than just shapes. As in the manual drafting of technical
and engineering drawings, the output of CAD must convey information, such as materials,
processes, dimensions, and tolerances, according to application-specific conventions.
CAD may be used to design curves and figures in two-dimensional (2D) space; or curves,
surfaces, and solids in three-dimensional (3D) objects.
CAD is an important industrial art extensively used in many applications, including automotive,
shipbuilding, and aerospace industries, industrial and architectural design, prosthetics, and many
more. CAD is also widely used to produce computer animation for special effects in movies,
advertising and technical manuals. The modern ubiquity and power of computers means that
even perfume bottles and shampoo dispensers are designed using techniques unheard of by
engineers of the 1960s. Because of its enormous economic importance, CAD has been a major
driving force for research in computational geometry, computer graphics (both hardware and
software), and discrete differential geometry.
The design of geometric models for object shapes, in particular, is often called computer-aided
geometric design (CAGD).
Current computer-aided design software packages range from 2D vector-based drafting systems
to 3D solid and surface modellers. Modern CAD packages can also frequently allow rotations in
three dimensions, allowing viewing of a designed object from any desired angle, even from the
inside looking out. Some CAD software is capable of dynamic mathematic modeling, in which
case it may be marketed as CADD — computer-aided design and drafting.
CAD is used in the design of tools and machinery and in the drafting and design of all types of
buildings, from small residential types (houses) to the largest commercial and industrial
structures (hospitals and factories).
CAD is mainly used for detailed engineering of 3D models and/or 2D drawings of physical
components, but it is also used throughout the engineering process from conceptual design and
layout of products, through strength and dynamic analysis of assemblies to definition of
manufacturing methods of components. It can also be used to design objects.
CAD has become an especially important technology within the scope of computer-aided
technologies, with benefits such as lower product development costs and a greatly shortened
design cycle. CAD enables designers to lay out and develop work on screen, print it out and save
it for future editing, saving time on their drawings.
2D CAD
Two-dimensional, or 2D, CAD is used to create flat drawings of products and structures. Objects
created in 2D CAD are made up of lines, circles, ovals, slots and curves. 2D CAD programs
usually include a library of geometric images; the ability to create Bezier curves, splines and
polylines; the ability to define hatching patterns; and the ability to provide a bill of materials
generation. Among the most popular 2D CAD programs are AutoCAD, CADkey, CADDS 5, and
Medusa.
3D CAD
Three-dimensional (3D) CAD programs come in a wide variety of types, intended for different
applications and levels of detail. Overall, 3D CAD programs create a realistic model of what the
design object will look like, allowing designers to solve potential problems earlier and with
lower production costs. Some 3D CAD programs include Autodesk Inventor, CoCreate Solid
Designer, Pro/Engineer SolidEdge, SolidWorks, Unigraphics NX and VX CAD, CATIA V5.
Solid Modeling
Solid modeling in general is useful because the program is often able to calculate the
dimensionsof the object it is creating. Many sub-types of this exist. Constructive Solid Geometry
(CSG) CAD uses the same basic logic as 2D CAD, that is, it uses prepared solid geometric
objects to create an object. However, these types of CAD software often cannot be adjusted once
they are created. Boundary Representation (Brep) solid modeling takes CSG images and links
them together. Hybrid systems mix CSG and Brep to achieve desired designs

Die casting is a versatile process for producing engineered metal parts by forcing molten metal
under high pressure into reusable steel molds. These molds, called dies, can be designed to
produce complex shapes with a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. Parts can be sharply
defined, with smooth or textured surfaces, and are suitable for a wide variety of attractive and
serviceable finishes.
Die castings are among the highest volume, mass-produced items manufactured by the
metalworking industry, and they can be found in thousands of consumer, commercial and
industrial products. Die cast parts are important components of products ranging from
automobiles to toys. Parts can be as simple as a sink faucet or as complex as a connector
housing.
Die casting is a method of producing alloy castings by injecting molten metal into metallic mold
under pressure. Die casting process can be classified into
a) Hot Chamber Process
b) Cold Chamber Process
The basic die casting process consists of injecting molten metal under high pressure into a steel
mold called a die. Die casting is an efficient, economical process offering a broader range of
shapes and components than any other manufacturing technique. Parts have a longer service life
when compared to plastic, and may be designed to complement the visual appeal of the
surrounding part. Die casting provides complex shapes within closer tolerances than many other
castings can be produced before additional tooling is required. Die casting produces parts that are
durable and dimensionally stable, while maintaining close tolerances. Die cast parts are stronger
than plastic injection moldings having the same dimensions. Thin-wall castings are stronger and
lighter than those possible with other casting methods. Plus, because die castings do not consist
of separate parts welded or fastened together, the strength is that of the alloy rather than the
joining process. Die castings provide integral fastening elements, such as bosses and studs. Holes
can be cored and made to tap drill sizes, or external threads can be cast. Die cast parts can be
produced with smooth or textured surfaces, and they are easily plated or finished with a
In this technique, the mould is generally not destroyed at each cast but is permanent,
being made of a metal such as cast iron or steel. There are a number of die casting processes, as
summarized in Figure 2. High pressure die casting is the most widely used, representing about
50% of all light alloy casting production. Low-pressure die casting currently accounts for about
20% of production and its use is increasing. Gravity die casting accounts for the rest, with the
exception of a small but growing contribution from the recently introduced vacuum die-casting
High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) is a large volume, high productivity process for the
production of complex, thin walled near net shape castings, with part weights ranging from a few
grams to more than 15 kg. It has traditionally been utilized in the production of housings etc, but
this has changed. Presently, feasible products are automotive front end structures and instrument
panels in magnesium alloys and B-pillars in aluminium alloys. However, for HPDC to be
competitive for extended automotive applications and attractive for new market segments, the
crash worthiness and fatigue properties must be improved and a scientific comprehension of the
process and metal behavior is required. Doehler was the first to patent die casting-related
technology in 1910. The initial machines produced aluminium castings in reusable metal molds,
where a human powered pull bar transmitted the force required to fill the mold. In 1927 the
horizontal cold chamber die casting machine was developed, which represents the basics of
today’s technology.
A schematic view in Figure 2 shows the main parts constituting a classical mould for
gravity die-casting. Cores (inner parts of the mould) are generally made of bonded sand. Gravity
die-casting is suitable for mass production and for fully mechanized casting.
Low Pressure Die casting:
As schematized in Figure 3, the die is filled from a pressurized crucible below, and
pressures of up to 0.7 bar are usual. Low-pressure die-casting is especially suited to the
production of components that are symmetric about an axis of rotation. Light automotive wheels
The principle is the same as low-pressure die-casting. The pressure inside the die is
decreased by a vacuum pump and the difference of pressure forces the liquid metal to enter the
die. This transfer is less turbulent than by other casting techniques so that gas inclusions can be
very limited. As a consequence, this new technique is specially aimed to components, which can
subsequently be heattreated.
Squeeze Casting:
Liquid metal is introduced into an open die, just as in a closed die forging process. The
dies are then closed. During the final stages of closure, the liquid is displaced into the further
parts of the die. No great fluidity requirements are demanded of the liquid, since the
displacements are small. This process can cast thus forging alloys, which generally have poor
The four principal metals, with different alloy compositions, that are commonly hot- or cold
chamber die cast are aluminium, zinc, magnesium and copper-base alloys. The injection system
in the hot chamber machines is immersed into the melt and the pressure is therefore limited. The
In the cold chamber process, the metal reservoir is separated from the injection system. The
metal is filled into the steel shot sleeve, as shown in Figure 1. The shot sleeve is typically 200-
300oC.
The hydraulic energy is provided by a computerized system that permits control of metal,
position, velocity and plunger acceleration to optimize the flow and the pressure during filling
and solidification. The die cavity may be evacuated to reduce air entrapment during die filling,
and high integrity die castings can therefore be produced by utilizing vacuum systems.
Alternatively semi-solid metalworking (SSM) can be used to reduce turbulence. Contrarily, the
quality of conventionally produced die castings has been ensured by the effort and experience
A short die filling time and thin walls result in high cooling rates, (typically 1001000 Ks-1). This
promotes a fine grain size which provides decent mechanical properties. However, the properties
can be improved by intimate interrelationship between product and process design through
amended metal handling, accurate process control, and optimized runner and die design.

Die-casting machines
All die-casting machines have one of the two different metal pumping systems;
Hot chamber system
Cold chamber system
If the metal being cast melts at a low temperature and thus does not attack the injection
pump material, the pump can be placed directly into the molten bath (Hot chamber machines).
If the molten metal attacks the pump material at casting temperature, the pump cannot be
placed in the metal bath and a cold chamber machine has to be used.
Hot chamber machines
In this die casting machine, the molten metal is forced under pressure (from 280 - 700
kg/sq.cm) into a permanent mold or die made of steel. The chamber where the high pressure
produced is contained in a molten metal bath. The pressure chamber (shot chamber) is heated to
the melting temperature of the metal to be processed. Generally, a plunger is applied to exert
pressure. Compressed air or some other gas under high pressure is also used.
The low temperature alloys of zinc, lead, tin do not attack the injection chamber material,
the chamber (pump or shot cylinder) can be placed directly in the molten metal bath. The
machine having this type of arrangement is known as hot chamber machine.
The hot chamber machine, in addition to the pressure chamber (cylinder), gooseneck,
plunger and nozzle are typical of hot chamber injection system. The gooseneck containing the
pressure chamber and plunger is submerged in the molten casting metal and is at a temperature
of the metal bar. This allows the metal to be injected into the cavity in a minimum time and
minimum loss of temperature. The furnace is very much a pat of the machine.
When the plunger is in up position the molten metal flows from the pot into the pressure
cylinder through the inlet port. With the die closed and locked, the shot cylinder is actuated to
move the plunger downward. As the plunger moves down, it seals off the inlet port and the
molten metal is forced through the gooseneck channel and the nozzle into the die casting die.
After the metal solidifies in the die cavity, the power cylinder is actuated in reverse direction
pulling the plunger up. This uncovers the inlet part allowing metal to flow from the pot into the
pressure cylinder. The machine is now ready for the next cycle as the two halves of the die are
closed.
The term ‘goose neck machine’ sometimes is also applied to this type of machine because
of its hollow ‘U’. These machines are also known as submerged plunger machine.
Casting up to 25 kgs. Could be produced in hot chamber machines. These machines
generally operate at 50 to 500 shots per hour. The shot cylinder is usually provided with liners to
provide for different shot capacities.
Fig no.1
Cold chamber machines
The metal is heated to pouring temperature in separate holding furnaces and transferred
to the shot cylinder by ladling. The metal injection chamber is separated from the melting pot
and is not heated to the melting temperature of the alloy. These machines are also called plunger
casting machines.
These cold chamber machines are subdivided into two types based on the position of the
injection chamber as
Horizontal cold chamber machines
Vertical cold chamber machines
Horizontal cold chamber machines
The shot chamber is mounted horizontal with pouring hole at the top of the chamber wall.
The operating cycle of the horizontal cold chamber shot system starts with the die closed
and locked and the cylinder plunger in retarded position. The molten metal is loaded through the
pouring hole of the shot chamber. Then the injection cylinder is actuated moves the plunger
forward. The plunger tip first closes off the pouring hole and then forces the metal into the die.
After solidification of the metal in the cavity, the die is opened and the plunger moves in the
direction of initial travel to complete its full stroke. This final forward travel of the plunger tip
forces the casting from the cover die. The plunger retracts the casting, which is ejected from the
ejector die. The machine is ready for next cycle after the two halves of the die are closed and
locked. In the shot cylinder of the horizontal injection machine, the plunger tip should be
adjusted to be very near the pouring hole. Most plunger tips are made of beryllium or nitrided
alloy steels. Shot chambers are generally made of H13 tools steel or nitriding alloy steel to resist
heat and wear.
Fig.no-2
HORIZONTAL COLD CHAMBER SYSTEM
Vertical cold chamber machines
In this machine the injection system consists of a vertical shot chamber connected
directly to the cover die half by a sprue bushing. There are two plungers. The lower plunger
covers the bushing hole in the vertical cold chamber while metal is being ladled into the chamber
from above. After the metal has been ladled, the upper or shot plunger is actuated. As the
pressure builds up, the lower plunger retracts, uncovering the sprue bushing into the die. After
dwell cycle for metal solidification, the upper plunger is withdrawn while the lower plunger
raises and shears off the remaining slug of metal and ejects it.
The molten metal in a vertical chamber machine moves in a compact mass as the plunger
advances. This minimizes metal turbulence and castings of low porosity could be produced.
Castings with high-density specifications, or where the use of inserts is required and the parts
that can best be made with center gating and better finishing the die-castings are recommended
to be made in vertical machines. Some examples of castings for which gating is most convenient
or most effective are those having thick center hubs and thin outer sections, such as fans, wheels
and blower impellers.
Advantages
1. Very high surface hardness of the order of 1150 VPN / 65 HRC may be obtained.
2. Since nitrided parts are not quenched, this minimizes distortion or cracking.
3. Good corrosion and wear resistance.
4. Good fatigue resistance.
5. Whereas in a carburised part, hardness begins to fall at about 2000C, a nitrided part
retains hardness up to 5000C.
6. No machining is required after nitriding.
7. Some complex parts which are not carburized satisfactorily can be nitrided without
difficulty.
8. The process is economical when large numbers of parts are to be treated.
Disadvantages:
1. Long cycle times (40 to 100 hours.)
2. Only special alloy steels (containing Al, Cr, V) can be satisfactorily treated.
3. High cost of the nitriding process.
4. Technical control is required.
5. If a nitrided component is accidentally over heated, the surface hardness will be lost
completely and the component must be nitrided again.

CAD
The acronym, CAD/CAM refers to general application of computers in graphic design,
programmed machining, structural engineering, and even factory wide process planning. But
CAD/CAM as it applies to die casting design and machining is fast becoming a specialized
discipline.
On the CAD side, CRT screens linked to computers now provide three dimensional
representations of parts and companion tooling, generate new size and shape variations at the
touch of few keys, and permit exact replication of complex cores and cavities. New computer
graphics capabilities include “solid modeling”. Rather than just displaying a “wire-frame” three
dimensional representation or isometric image as in old software. Some CAD system permit the
part or the cavity being designed to be shown as it would appear in reality-complete with shades
and contour. Specialized CAD software is also being refined to optimize metal flow in the tool
as well as die cooling. Minimizing the material consumption by shortening runners, simplifying
debugging of difficult dies, and trimming die-cooling times are the primary benefits provided by
the metal flow analysis software.
CAM
The CAM portion of computer aided design and manufacturing is somewhat mature than
CAD graphics. Computerized numerical control (CNC) of milling machines is quickly
becoming common place and permits far more accurate tolerances than with manual milling.
Programmed through punched tape, CNC machines follow computer controlled machine paths
with upto five axis milling and automatic cutter changing capabilities. The latest technological
stride in computerized machining involves dispensing with punched tapes altogether.
“Distributed” CNC employs a coaxial cable between main frame computer and CNC milling
machine to control cutter paths from the computer memory.
Computer controlled electrical-discharge machining (EDM) is another growing
technology, which many feel eventually replace most mechanical machining of core and cavities.
Using CNC equipment to machine complex electrodes, mold makers are producing intricate
cavity details with tight tolerances not possible with standard equipment. Wire feed EDM is also
gaining acceptance for machining cavities for gears and other parts with geometries that allow
cutting completely through the mold plate involved. In operation, a continuously fed wire
electrode travels between spool above and below the plate, Precise shapes are burned by
computers controlled movement of the table holding the steel rather than by manipulating the
wire electrode. The next EDM advance reportedly will be the machine with multiple electrodes
in different shapes and sizes that will follow computerized cutting paths in much the same way
as CNC milling equipment.

Mold Layout Creation
About Mold Layout
The Mold Layout application provides a dynamic environment for designing and assembling
single or multi-cavity tooling in an assembly. Mold Layout also provides efficient tools for fast
and robust design of single or multi-cavity molds. You can easily populate your assembly with
cavity subassemblies, a mold base assembly, standard components, and an injection molding
machine. You can also create some mold-specific features.
The Mold Layout application is mold functionality that is accessible from Assembly mode. You
create or open a regular assembly (.asm) file to use this application.
You can switch from working on a multi-cavity mold assembly to working on an individual
cavity. To do this, use a regular assembly structure where the multi-cavity mold assembly model
is a top level assembly and each cavity model is a subassembly. These cavity subassemblies are
represented by Mold or Cast assemblies
You can make changes in one cavity assembly model appear in all cavity assembly models in the
multi-cavity mold assembly.
The cavity population tool allows flexible patterning of the cavities according to rectangular,
circular, and user defined pattern rules. You can add, remove, move, or reorient each cavity
pattern member individually, or even replace any cavity model with a family table instance.
Other functions specific to Mold Layout are as follows:
Selecting and placing mold bases with the Mold Base Selection dialog box
Selecting and placing Injection Molding Machine models
Creating runners at the assembly level

materials (BOMs) with or without balloon notes
Use of drawing templates
By Scaling—Allows you to shrink the part geometry by scaling it with respect to a coordinate
system. You can specify different shrinkage ratio for the X-, Y-, and Z-coordinates. If you apply
shrinkage in Mold (Cast) mode, it applies only to the reference model and does not affect the
design model.
Pro/ENGINEER uses two formulae to calculate shrinkage. The formula 1/(1–S) allows you to
specify a shrinkage factor that is based upon the final geometry of the reference part once
shrinkage is applied. The formula 1+S uses a pre-calculated shrinkage factor that is based upon
the original geometry of the part.

Tooling options cover specialty tools for molding, die-casting and progressive tooling design.
Manufacturing lets you set up and run NC machines, create assembly process sequences, create
bills of material, and generate inspection programs for Coordinate Measuring Machines
(CMMs).
Use the Manufacturing area is about streamlining the NC programming process for production
milling of prismatic parts and multisurface three-axis milling. Manufacturing shows you how to
program and set up your NC machines, create process flows that cover the NC operations as well
as other operations, and define CMM inspection programs that probe manufactured parts.

CONCLUSION
In our project we have modeled a cylinder fin body for 150cc engine and die set for
manufacturing.
In the next step we have done Die calculations for the casting tool.
From the above caliculations we have prepared the mould set parts and prepared core and cavity
using pro/engineer.
Total force acting on the die plate is 88.09Tons. So we selected 250Tons Machine. Plunger dia is
98mm and shot volume is 9.2kg.
Fill time for Aluminum is 0.182secs and heat to be removed is 7560 cm3/sec.
We have done manufacturing processes for the two cavities and side insert and generated CNC
Program.
We conclude that we can produce megnisium and aluinium fin bodys on the same mould by
modifying cooling chanels without any additional investment.
