the incoming radiation into two beams. A moving
mirrors various the lengths of one beam. So that when
they are brought together they produce an
interference pattern. Analysis of the pattern reveals
the different wavelength that is present. The
interferometer method has the advantages of
detecting the entire wavelength one pass.

Spectroscopy can use to identify the elements present

in the sample of material. Like chrome, molly and
carbon.Spectroscope test use for verification of
chemical grade.

INTRODUCTION:
Now a day, there is a lot of competition in the market. so there is need Of Developing a
new method or process for effective manufacturing. That Process or methods should
fulfil the requirement about accuracy productivity etc. It is necessary to reduce cycle time
& reduce fatigue of the operator effectively. In Mass Production or at working time. Time
criteria is very important. Within a small time, a single unit job has to be completed for
minimizing the cycle time optimization & accuracy level was achieve & verified.

Spark and Spectral testing it is practically volley divided into two Parts.

1) Spark generation
2) Spark Inspection

Both Operations depend on to each other. But the equipment Divided into four parts. &
effective working is depending on the Performance of all these four units. We have
basically introduced this inspection method to avoid Material mix up in manufacturing
forging industries.

A sponsor using a lot of material grades to manufacture forging item like crankshaft,
conrod, and rocker etc. Material mix up at various stages is not possible to avoid 100%.
So this test is done at end of all operation that is at dispatch end.

In this test chrome, molly, and carbon element are used to segregate the material mix up.
In metascopic language, different colour codes are used for chrome, molly and carbon.
This colour identification is used in this testing machine to inspect the components. This
is one step forward towards new technology considering the base of Metascope. In some
cases in manufacturing industries, material mix up process is done with the help of a
grinding machine. Spark is generated by conventional grinding machine & test is carried
out on the judgment of the operator, so we have done this testing machine. With the
concept of the sponsor with our ideas &thoughts. This will definitely help to sponsor to
improve productivity to reduce cycle time with quality standard.

OBJECTIVE:
1) To study procedure of Material Testing.
2) To avoid a material mix-up.
3) To study of working of Special Purpose Machine.
4) To understand how to manufacturing a Special Purpose Machine.
5) To study machine design Procedure.
6) To study manufacturing procedures used for the machine design.

RESULT:
While the testing of material we identified the elements in the material by the line shown
in below the pointer. there are various line shown depending upon the material but we
required lines only for molybdenum and chromium. Which shown only green line. but
differences between the representation of molybdenum and chromium is that the single
dark line shown below the pointer indicate molybdenum present in steel and the line absent
that indicate the molybdenum not present in steel.

The representation of chromium is same as molybdenum but there are two lines are present
below the pointer. This differences because of the properties of the material and their
wavelengths.

Molybdenum Present

In the above image, we can see there is a number of the green lines. The dark single green
line below the pointer represents molybdenum present in steel.

Molybdenum Absent

Representation of Molybdenum Absent in Steel

In the above image, we can see there is a number of the green lines. The faint single green
line below the pointer represents molybdenum absent in steel.

Chromium Present

In the above image, we can see there is a number of the green lines. The dark double green
line below the pointer represents Chromium present in steel.

Chromium Absent

Representation of Chromium Absent in Steel

In the above image, we can see there is a number of the green lines. The faint double
green line below the pointer represents Chromium absent in steel.
