SSCJE ‘examination has been a reference test considering all the junior engineer level recruitment examinations hence making itself a one of the top priority ‘examinations forthe students preparing for junior engineer recrutments. SSC has given the scheme of examination as given below. B. Singh (& IES) Papers ‘Mode of Examination | Subjects Max. Marks | Duration Stage ComputerBase Mode | (i) General intelligence &Reasoning | S0Marks | 2hours Papert: Objective type (i) General Awareness 50 Marks (iGenerat Engineering (Mechanical) | 100 Marks Stage2: Written Examination | General Engineering (Mechanical) | 300Marks | 2hours Paper ti Conventional Type Note: n Paper every question carries one mark. Negative marking of 1/4 marks wil be applied for every wrong answer. Candidate shortlisted in Stage 1 are calle for Stage 2.The final merit willbe based on combined score of. Stage 1 and Stage 2. This book contains previous year Objective and Conventional solved papers of SSC-JE (2007-2015). The topicwise segregation will help the students in learning the particular topic/subject. Special focus has been given to make the solutions/explanations in detailed and stepwise manner with lucid language so that any candidate can Understand easly Apart from SCE, this book is also highly recommended to the students preparing for State Level JE examinations, OMRCJE Examination ete The readers are suggested to attempt the problems and analyze the solutions thoroughly because nowadays many questions are being repeated in papers in the same format or just with minor modification of the language of the questions. MADE EASY team has taken utmost cae inthe designing of frst edition ofthis book, further suggestions from the readers are heattiy invited, Ihave true desire to serve the student community by using my best ablities to provide them quality guidance and learning material in possible forms. hope this book will act as @ teacher and an important tool to make you succeed in the SSCJE and other engineering competitive examinations With Best Wishes B.

Bw Excellent dimensional accuracy Smooth cast surfaces Thinner walls can b@ cast compared to sand and permanent mold casting, Inserts can be cast in such as threaded inserts, hating eloments, and high strength bearing surfaces Reduces or eliminates secondary machining operations 6. Rapid production rates The chiot advantage is high production rates are possible Hw Uniform sand hardness is obtained through out the mould by sand slinger, Sand slinging is done by throwing sand into the flask rapidly and with ‘great force. This process develops uniform high mould hardness. The process is vory fast and gives high uniform sand ramming. The sand should be uniformly sprayed into the mould by moving the nozzle through the entie area of the flask, Also it is necessary that the sand be sprayed in layers to achieve uniform hardness. 4. The advantage of shell moulding are: Better surface finish Better dimensional tolerances Reduced machining Less foundary space requ Low labour costs Can be easily automated for mass production 7. High productivity 8. Complex shapes can be made as there is no need to withdraw the patt 9. Very fine details and thin sections can be obtained But main advantage is that high production rate ss possible. Eo In sand moulding, the bottom most part of the asks called crag, the uppermost ones called cope and any intermediate between cope and drag is called cheek Ge In order to ram the sand soften on the pattern face and harder at the back of the mould, squeeze ramming is used. In squeeze ramming a plate slightly smaller than the inside dimensions of the moulding flask is fited into the flask already fitted with the moulding sand uniform pressure is applied onthe plate, which compacts the sand uniformly. The sand next to the plate rams hardest while the sand belon (‘ace of pattern) is progressively less hard Bw The taper provided on pattern for its easy and loan withdrawal from the mould is called draft allowance, Bw Extusion is not Bw Pattern colour coding practice is followed inthe foundary in order to give the necessary information tothe mould maker. 1, Red or Orange : Surface is not to be finished but lott as cast 2. Yellow : Surface is to be machined 3. Black : Core prints for unmachined openings 4. Yellow strips on black : Core prints for machined openings. 5. Green : Loose pieces or loose core prints. ie In order to facilitate the withdrawal of pattern, draft is provided on pattern, At the time of withdrawing the pattern from the sand mould, the vertical faces of the pattern are in continuous contact with the mould wall, which may damage the mould c: casting process vity, To avoid this, the vertical faceMechanical Engineering Paper-l: Objective + Production Engineering lau are always tapered from the parting plane.

They are made of steel and are relatively long and narrow. * Riddle tool is a screen or sieve used to romove small pieces of motal and foreign particles from the moulding sand Taw The vertical passage for bringing molten metal to mould cavity is called sprue. Hae The process of pouring molten metal in the cavity of a metallic mould by gravity is called permanent mould casting. Generally two halves of amould are made from materials such as cast ron, steel, bronze, graphite or refractory metal alloys.

[Gy Metals ike aluminium, brass, castiron are used for making patterns. The dimensional accuracy ishigh but the limitation is that a wooden pattern has to be first made to cast the metal pattern thus expensive, Henee itis used only for higher production rates, Ew Binders are added to give cohesion to moulding sand. It provides strength to the moulding sand and enable it to retain its shape as mould laxity. So, synthetic sand consisting of silica sand is added with bentonite and water which provide bonding strength toi. Ew The shape and size of the sand grains affects various moulding sand properties. The size can bbe coarse or fine and the shape can be round or angular. Coarse grains increase permeability and fine grains provide surface finish, Thus porosity of sands determined by the shape and size of the sand grains. Ew Coreals are added to the moulding sand to improve green strength, The moulding sand containing moisture is termed as green sand, The green sand should have enough strength so that the constructed mould retains its shape.Contents Section-B : Conventional Paper si.
