ADVANCED MANUFACTURING P ROCESS

Time : Three hours Answer any five questions. 1. a) What is etching process ? With the help of heat sketches explain the isotropic and anisotropic etching processes. b) A deep hole of 5 mm diameter and 100 mm depth is to be produced is a Si substrate by DRIE. Estimate the time required to machine the hole. Assume the machining to be continuous one, though in reality it is in steps of about 1015s duration. 2. 10+10 Full Marks : 100

a) Briefly discuss about diamond micromachining. Give relevant sketches. b) Explain the steps of inspection procedure. c) A human inspector has inspected a batch of 100 parts and reported a total of 12 defects in the batch. One careful examination, it was found that there were four false alarms and six misses. What is the inspectors accuracy in this instance ? 10+5+5

3.

a) Explain the Operating characteristic curve of sampling length with suitable sketch. Indicate all the important features of the curve on the sketch. [ Turn over

[2] b) Discuss about final inspection and distributed inspection. Give necessary diagrams. c) A batch of 10,000 units is processed through ten operations, each of which has fraction defect rate of 0. 05. How many defect-free units and how many defects are in the final batch? 4. 8+8+4 7. a) Write the advantages of CMM over manual inspection method. 8. b) With the help of neat sketches, explain the basic function of a machine vision system. c) What is optical triangulation technique ? Explain with suitable sketch (es). d) A video camera has a 640  440 pixel matrix. Each pixel must be converted from an analog signal to the corresponding digital signal by an ADC. The analog-to-digital conversion takes 0. 1 ms ( 0 1 10 -6 s). to complete, a) Injection Moulding b) Transfer Moulding c) Polymerization d) Thermoforming 6.

What are the different types of ceramic materials and its industrial applications and Biomedical applications in detail. 20 Write short notes (Any two) 102=20

including the time to move between pixels. How long will it take to collect the image data for one frame, and is this time compatible with processing at the rate of 30 frames per seconds ? 5+5+5+5 5. a) What are metal matrix composites ? In which way it is different from non-metal matrix composites ? b) Write down the manufacturing process of Metal Matrix Composites through Liquid Metallurgy technique.
