■ Procurement of material and Cutting of samples with Wire EDM or Laser cutting
process.
■ The samples will be prepared for welding and then welded.
■ The mechanical properties will be determined using different tests like UTS test,
Rockwell hardness tests and Optical Microscopy.
■ A comparative summary of different properties will be made in accordance with the
results from the tests as well as from the simulation results.
Methodology
The completion of project will involve following steps:-
■ The different types of tool steel plate , filler material used in welding, tungsten
electrode of suitable dimension will be selected for welding.
■ Installation of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding setup .
■ The required samples will be cut from sheet by either laser cutting or wire EDM.The
samples will be prepared for welding and then welded.
■ The mechanical properties will be determined using different tests like Izod impact
test ,UTS test, Rockwell hardness test etc.( As per availability)
■ A comparative summary of different properties will be made in accordance with the
results.

The progress in the minor project has been listed below
■ LITERATURE REVIEW
The literature review is being successfully conducted and the final selection of required
base papers is still under progress .
■ SELECTION OF MATERIAL AND PROCUREMENT
The required material for the experimentation has been selected and ordered as per the
requirement. The selected materials are:-
1. D2 steel – D2 is very wear resistant but not as tough as lower alloyed steels. The
mechanical properties of D2 are very sensitive to heat treatment. It is widely used
for the production of shear blades, planer blades and industrial cutting tools;
sometimes used for knife blades.
2. H13 Steel - DIN 1.2344 tool steel (also known as AISI H13 steel or just H13) is a tool
steel grade standardised for hot working. The main feature of this grade is the
combination of alloyed elements of chromium, molybdenum and vanadium, Cr-Mo-V,
which provides a high wear resistance to thermal shock. It is well known as for its great
strength, and heat resistance. It is heavily used for die casting in the cold heading field.
The presence of high vanadium in DIN 1.2344 can handle the abrasion at both low and
high temperatures. It always provides a uniform and high level of machinability. This tool
steel is mostly used for aluminium, magnesium and zinc die casting .
3. P20 Steel - P20 Mold Steel is a versatile, low-alloy tool steel that is characterized by
good toughness at moderate strength levels. The steel is commonly used for plastic
injection mold cavities and tooling and for die casting dies for zinc. P20 tool steels are
nitride or carburized. These steels are capable of being machined into complex and
large dies and molds. P20 steels are mostly used in the carburized condition. The
presence of chromium and nickel enhances the toughness and hardness of P20 steels.
■ INSTALLATION OF GTAW SETUP
The setup for Gas Tungsten arc welding has been installed at Automobile Lab, MAIT
Rohini. The machine that will be used has following specifications :
NAME TIG 250-A
■ INPUT PARAMETERS
1. LENGTH OF HAZ W.R.T WELD ZONE
2. TEMPRATURE ATTAINED DURING APPLICATION OF COOLING MEDIA
Simulation(Under progress)
■ Simulation for welded samples is under progress. The intial static study shows the
yield strength (820 N/MM2) for the designed sample of D2.
• Simulation for welded samples is under progress. The intial static study shows the
yield strength (742 MPa) for the designed sample of H 13.
