| Abstract [eng] |
Nowadays the most common material which is used in Two-wheeler bikes for the exhaust system is mild steel. The main cause for the exhaust system failure is due to corrosion, fatigue or both combined. About 70% of the failure is due to corrosion and remaining is due to fatigue. This final project deals with the exhaust system parts manufacturing processes. The main aim is to analyse and select the material suitable for exhaust system in two-wheeler motorcycles. TIG welding are considered. CATIA models of the specimens are made and analysis is accomplished using ANSYS software. The welded specimens of stainless steel, mild steel and combined stainless-mild steel specimens were made and tensile tests were carried out. The specimen are taken for microstructure analyses followed by hardness test to ensure the quality of the weld and material. Obtained results may be useful while selecting the material and manufacturing technology for the exhaust system parts. Conclusions of the research are given. |
