Introduction

Brake drum castings are made up of S.G. cast iron which has high strength, ductility, shock and wear resistance, good castability, excellent machinability and overall durability of the component.

Market Potential

With the start of the automobile revolution in the country the brake drum castings are expected to increase manifold in future. The S.G. brake drum castings are replacing even forgings. The brake drum casting units have good scope in small scale industries due to the excellent technical base available at the small foundry units.

Basis and Presumptions

1. The scheme has been prepared on the basis of 75% efficiency on two shifts of 8 Hrs each considering 25 working days in a month.

2. The rate of interest in the scheme has been worked out on the basis of 12% on an average; however this figure is likely to vary depending on the financial outlay of the project as well as location of the unit.

3. The costs of machinery and equipment as indicated are approximate ruling locally at the time of preparation of the scheme.

4. The rates quoted in respect of salaries and wages for workers and others are the minimum rates in the state/neighbouring states.

5. Margin money required is minimum 25% of the projected investment.

Technical Aspects

Process of Manufacture

The scrap and pig-iron in the required proportion are melted in the electric induction furnace. When the molten metal attains the pouring temperature, the hot metal is transferred from furnace to the ladle and then poured in the mould already prepared and kept ready. After cooling, the castings are knocked out, fettled, inspected and despatched to the customer.

Quality Control and Standards

The Brake drum castings are manufactured under the following Indian specifications:

1. IS-1865-1974 Indian standard specification for Iron Castings with spheroidal or nodular graphite.

2. IS-5789-1970 Indian standard specification for S.G. Iron Castings for low temperature use.

3. IS-5788-1970 Indian standard specification for Iron Castings with spheroidal or nodular graphite for use at elevated temperatures.
