CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
SIWES was established by ITF in 1973 to solve the problem of lack of ade!ate
practical skills preparatory for employment in ind!stries by "i#erian #rad!ates
of tertiary instit!tions$
The Scheme e%poses st!dents to ind!stry based skills necessary for a smooth
transition from the classroom to the world of work$ It affords st!dents of tertiary
instit!tions the opport!nity of bein# familiari&ed and e%posed to the needed
e%perience in handlin# machinery and e!ipment which are !s!ally not
available in the ed!cational instit!tions$
'articipation in Ind!strial Trainin# is a well(known ed!cational strate#y$
)lassroom st!dies are inte#rated with learnin# thro!#h hands(on work
e%periences in a field related to the st!dent*s academic ma+or and career #oals$
S!ccessf!l internships foster an e%periential learnin# process that not only
promotes career preparation b!t provides opport!nities for learners to develop
skills necessary to become leaders in their chosen professions$
,ne of the primary #oals of the SIWES is to help st!dents inte#rate leadership
development into the e%periential learnin# process$ St!dents are e%pected to
learn and develop basic non(profit leadership skills thro!#h a mentorin#
relationship with innovative non(profit leaders$

Str!ct!ral sections from the rollin# mills may re!ire s!rface cleanin# to
remove mill scale prior to fabrication and paintin#$ Dand preparation0 s!ch as
wire br!shin#0 does not normally conform to the re!irements of modern paint
or s!rface protection system$ 4last cleanin# is the accepted way of carryin# o!t
s!rface preparation in a well(r!n fabrication shop$ brasive particles are
pro+ected on to the s!rface of the steel at hi#h speed by either compressed air or
centrif!#al impeller to remove r!st and ro!#hen the s!rface before applyin# the
coatin#$ 4y !sin# shot or sla# #rits0 both of which have an an#!lar profile0
s!rface o%ides are removed and a ro!#her s!rface is obtained to provide an
ade!ate key for metal sprayin# or special paint$
Flame cleanin# is another method of s!rface cleanin#$ In this method the
s!rface is cleaned !sin# an o%y(acetylene torch which works on the principle of
differential thermal e%pansion between steel and mill scale$ In another method
called the steel piece is immersed in a s!itable acid and the scale and r!st are
removed$
2.2.2 CUTTING AND MACHINING
Followin# s!rface preparation0 c!ttin# to len#th is always the first process to be
carried o!t0 and this is done by any of the followin# methods$

Sections can be c!t to len#th or width by croppin# or shearin# !sin# hydra!lic
shears$ Deavy sections or lon# plates can be shaped and c!t to len#th by
specialist plate shears$ For smaller plates and sections0 machines feat!rin# a
ran#e of shearin# knives0 which can accept the differin# section shapes0 are
available$

In this method0 the steel is heated locally by a press!rised mi%t!re of o%y#en
and a comb!stible #as s!ch as propane0 which passes thro!#h a rin# of small
holes in a c!ttin# no&&le$ The heat is foc!ssed on to a very narrow band and the
steel melts at 1=== ) when a +et of hi#h(press!re o%y#en is released thro!#h a
separate hole in the centre of the no&&le to blast away the molten metal in
#lob!les$ The desired c!ts are obtained !ickly by this process$ Dowever d!e to
a rapid thermal cycle of heatin# and coolin#0 resid!al stresses and distortion are
ind!ced and hence str!ct!ral sections that are fabricated !sin# flame c!ttin# are
treated specially in the desi#n of str!ct!ral steelwork$

very clean and its !ality can be improved by !sin# a water in+ection arc plasma
torch$ 'lasma c!ttin# can be !sed on thicknesses !p to abo!t 1= mm b!t the
process is very slow$
2.2.3 PUNCHING AND DRILLING
;ost fabrication shops have a ran#e of machines0 which can form holes for
connections in str!ct!ral steelwork$ The traditional drillin# machine is the radial
drill0 a man!ally operated machine0 which drills individ!al holes in str!ct!ral
steelwork$ 4!t this method has become too slow for primary line prod!ction$
Therefore0 lar#er fabricators have installed ")

d!rin# transportation and handlin# operations0 materials may bend or may even
!nder#o distortion$ This may also occ!r d!rin# p!nchin# operation$ Therefore
before attemptin# f!rther fabrication the material sho!ld be strai#htened$ In
c!rrent practice0 either rolls or #a# presses are !sed to strai#hten str!ct!ral
shapes$
a# press is #enerally !sed for strai#htenin# beams0 channels0 an#les0 and
heavy bars$ This machine has a hori&ontal pl!n#er or ram that applies press!re
at points alon# the bend to brin# it into ali#nment$ 8on# plates0 which are
cambered o!t of ali#nment lon#it!dinally0 are fre!ently strai#htened by rollers$
They are passed thro!#h a series of rollers that bend them back and forth with
pro#ressively diminishin# deformation$
;isali#nments in str!ct!ral shapes are sometimes corrected by spot or pattern
heatin#$ When heat is applied to a small area of steel0 the lar#er !nheated
portion of the s!rro!ndin# material prevents e%pansion$ 5pon coolin#0 the
s!bse!ent shrinka#e prod!ces a shortenin# of the member0 th!s p!llin# it back
into ali#nment$ This method is commonly employed to remove b!ckles in #irder
webs between stiffeners and to strai#hten members$ It is fre!ently !sed to
prod!ce camber in rolled beams$ press brake is !sed to form an#!lar bends in
wide sheets and plates to prod!ce cold formed steel members$
2.2.4 FASTENING METHODS
12
8/19/2019 Nwankwo Obi Report
13/23
The stren#th of the entire str!ct!re depends !pon the proper !se of fastenin#
methods$ There are three methods of fastenin# namely boltin#0 rivetin# and
weldin#$ few decades back0 it was a common practice to assemble
components in the workshop !sin# bolts or rivets$ "owadays weldin# is the
most common method of shop fabrication of steel str!ct!res$ In addition to
bein# simple to fabricate0 welded connection considerably red!ce the si&e of the
+oint and the additional fi%t!res and plates$ Dowever0 there is still a demand for
str!ct!ral members to be bolted arisin# from a re!irement to avoid weldin#
beca!se of the service conditions of the member !nder consideration$ These
may be low temperat!re performance criteria0 the need to avoid weldin# stresses
and distortion or the re!irement for the component to be taken apart d!rin#
service e$#$ bolts in crane rails or bolted crane rails$ Weldin# is !sed e%tensively
for +oinin# metals to#ether and there is no do!bt that it has been a most
si#nificant factor in the phenomenal #rowth of many ind!stries$
welded +oint is made by f!sin# the steel plates or sections alon# the
line of +oint$ The metal melted from each member of the +oint !nites in a pool
of molten metal0 which brid#es the interface$ s the pool cools0 molten metal at
the f!sion bo!ndary solidifies0 formin# a solid bond with the parent metal$
When solidification completes0 there is a contin!ity of metal thro!#h the +oint$
There are five weldin# process re#!larly employed namely-
S!%",("( M"/#, A$) W",(%&' 5SMAW6

8/19/2019 Nwankwo Obi Report
14/23
This is basically a semi(a!tomated or f!lly a!tomated weldin# proced!re$ The
type of weldin# electrode !sed wo!ld decide the weld properties$ Since this
weldin# is carried o!t !nder controlled condition0 the weld !ality is normally
#ood$
S-"$'"(7A$) 8",(%&' 5SAW6
This is f!lly mechanised process in which the weldin# head is moved alon# the
+oint by a #antry0 boom or tractor$ The electrode is a bare wire0 which is
advanced by a motor$ Dere a#ain0 since the weldin# is carried o!t in controlled
conditions0 better !ality welds are obtained$
M#&#, M"/#,7A$) 8",(%&' 5MMA6
This is the most widely !sed arc weldin# process and appears to be
advanta#eo!s for labo!r intensive Indian constr!ction practices$ s it is
man!ally operated it re!ires considerable skill to prod!ce #ood !ality welds$
Dence in the case of ;;0 strin#ent !ality control and !ality ass!rance
proced!res are needed$ In India0 the Weldin# 6esearch Instit!te0 4DE80 Trichy0

personnel$ Welders who are employed in act!al fabrication are in fact0 #raded

This process is sometimes referred to as ;etal(Inert as weldin#$ It is
also man!ally operated$ #as that does not react with molten steel shields the
arc and the weld pool$ This protection ens!res that a so!nd weld is prod!ced
free from contamination(ind!ced cracks and porosity$ "evertheless0 this
proced!re also depends on the skills of the welder$
S/( 8",(%&'
This is an arc weldin# process and is e%tensively !sed for fi%in# st!d shear
connectors to beam in the composite constr!ction$ The e!ipment consists of
#!n hand tool0 $)$ power so!rce0 a!%iliary contractor and controller$ The st!d
is mo!nted into the ch!ck of the hand tool and conical tip of the st!d is held in
contact with the work piece by the press!re of a sprin# on the ch!ck$ s soon
as the c!rrent is switched on0 the st!d is moved away a!tomatically to establish
an arc$ When a weld pool has been formed and the end of the st!d is melted the
latter is a!tomatically forced into the steel plate and the c!rrent is switched off$
The molten metal0 which is e%pelled from the interface0 is formed into a fillet by
a ceramic collar or ferr!le0 which is placed aro!nd the st!d at the be#innin# of
the operation$
This process offers an acc!rate and fast method for attachin# shear connectors0
with the minim!m distortion$ While it re!ires some skill to set !p the weld

relatively strai#ht forward$
2.2.: FINISHING
Str!ct!ral members whose ends m!st transmit loads by bearin# a#ainst one
another are !s!ally finished to a smooth even s!rface$ Finishin# is performed by
sawin#0 millin# or other s!itable means$ Several types of sawin# machines are
available0 which prod!ce very satisfactory finished c!ts$ ,ne type of millin#
machine employs a movable head fitted with one or more hi#h(speed carbide
tipped rotary c!tters$ The head moves over a bed0 which sec!rely holds the work
piece in proper ali#nment d!rin# finishin# operation$
4rid#e specifications re!ire that sheared ed#es of plates over a certain
thickness be ed#e planed$ This is done to remove +a##ed flame c!t ed#es and the
resid!al stresses at the ed#es$ In this operation0 the plate is clamped to the bed
of millin# machine or a planer$ The c!ttin# head moves alon# the ed#e of the
plate0 plannin# it to a neat and smooth finish$
The term finish or mill is !sed on detail drawin#s to describe any operation that
re!ires steel to be finished to a smooth even s!rface by millin#0 plannin#0
sawin# or other machines$

3.0 RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION
3.1 RECOMMENDATION
In as m!ch as ind!strial trainin# is worthy to be e%perienced0 there are some
problems that #o with it$ I thereby recommend the followin#B
• ITF and instit!tions sho!ld help and ens!re proper placement of
st!dents based on their field of st!dy so as to ens!re that o!r
#rad!ates will be f!lly baked so as to fit into the labo!r market to
help improve the co!ntry*s economy$
• ITF and instit!tion based s!pervisors sho!ld see that the st!dents
are visited re#!larly which will help them keep to attendance in their
21

22/23
places of attachment and also foc!s more on the trainin# so as to be
able to adopt a #ood workin# ethics$
• lso the senior staff sho!ld #ive the +!nior ones more task to carry o!t which will help them learn more and
