In the present study, the mechanical and metallographic properties of camshafts produced from chilled cast iron were examined experimentally and numerically relating with the solidification, cooling rate and metal flow. First of all, with the help of the 3-dimensional drawing and design programs the whole casting methodology was planned. This planning was analyzed with casting simulation software. After that camshafts were produced experimentally at the foundry. Chill material was used in order to get rapid cooling. The phases, dendrite structure and dendrite arm spacing on the lobes of camshaft were examined with an optic microscope and XRD. The Brinell, Rockwell and Vickers hardness tests were carried out on surfaces of lobes and camshafts. On the rapid cooling areas, the ledeburitic phase and high hardness values, on the slow cooling surfaces, rosette like graphite in pearlitic and low ferrite phase and low hardness values were examined. On the chill areas 2-15 lm DAS (dendrite arm spacing) were measured.

IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering, 2014
The camshaft and its associated parts control the opening and closing of the two valves. The associated parts are push rods, rocker arms, valve springs and tappets. This shaft also provides the drive to the ignition system. The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft through timing gears. Cams are made as integral parts of the camshaft and are designed in such a way to open the valves at the correct timing and to keep them open for the necessary duration. In this project, a camshaft is designed for a two wheeler engine by using theoretical calculations. Cam profile is designed by using the calculations. A 3D model of the Camshaft is created using modeling software Pro/Engineer. For manufacturing cam shaft following manufacturing method are used by Machining, Casting and Forging. From above processes we selected casting processes because it's used for bulk production. For the manufacture of Camshaft Core and Cavity is to be extracted from the model using manufacturing module in Pro/Engineer. Total Mould base is to be designed for the camshaft which is ready to go for production. CNC Program is to be generated for both core and cavity using roughing and finishing processes. This is also done in manufacturing module in Pro/Engineer. Total cost required for the manufacturing of die is estimated. From this project we will learn a manufacturing method for camshaft. Pro/ENGINEER is the standard in 3D product design, featuring industry-leading productivity tools that promote best practices in design.
IRJET-DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF CAM SHAFT FOR MULTI CYLINDER ENGINE
The cam shaft and its associated parts control the opening and closing of the two valves. The associated parts are push rods, rocker arms, valve springs and tappets. It consists of a cylindrical rod running over the length of the cylinder bank with a number of oblong lobes protruding from it, one for each valve. The cam lobes force the valves open by pressing on the valve, or on some intermediate mechanism as they rotate. This shaft also provides the drive to the ignition system. The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft through timing gears cams are made as integral parts of the camshaft and are designed in such a way to open and close the valves at the correct timing and to keep them open for the necessary duration. A common example is the camshaft of an automobile, which takes the rotary motion of the engine and translates it in to the reciprocating motion necessary to operate the intake and exhaust valves of the cylinders. In this work, a camshaft is designed for multi cylinder engine and 3D-model of the camshaft is created using modeling software pro/Engineer. The model created in pro/E is imported in to ANSYS. After completing the element properties, meshing and constraints the loads are applied on camshaft for three different materials namely aluminium alloy 360, forged steel and cast iron. For that condition the results have been taken has displacement values and von misses stresses for the static state of the camshaft. After taking the results of static analysis, the model analysis and harmonic analysis are done one by one. Finally, comparing the three different materials the best suitable material is selected for the construction of camshaft.

DESIGN ANALYSIS OF CAM SHAFT USING Al-SiC COMPOSITE
2021
A cam and follower are subjected to very high stresses which cause wear of the cam. Owing to the eccentricity of the cam, high dynamic stresses are developed which results in noise, vibration and cyclic loading on the bearing of the camshaft and hence produce a reduction in bearing life. The work will report on studies of Al-SiC as a possible alternative material for the camshaft. (AlSiC) Metal matrix composite offers outstanding properties for a number of automotive components. In the present work, camshaft is designed in Creo Parametric 2.0 software. An attempt is made to study static and thermal analysis of the cam. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is performed to see the stress variations at critical locations using ANSYS 14.0 software on camshaft periphery by applying the boundary conditions.

In this study, it was essential to analyze a vehicle camshaft, considering the in-service failure it undergoes due to multi-translated non-proportional loading conditions. The auto camshaft component was modelled and simulated using SOLIDWORKS software, 2020 version. Three materials were considered in the modelling and simulation process viz AISI 1020 Steel (Cold Rolled), AISI 4130 Steel (annealed at 865 o C) and Ti-5Al-2.5Sn Annealed (SS), and the results indicated maximum Von-mises stresses of 576, 268 and 176.3 MPa as well as yield strength values of 356, 463 and 744.6 MPa. Maximum static displacement of 0.07924, 0.03725 and 0.003495 mm were obtained for AISI 1020 Steel (Cold Rolled), AISI 4130 Steel (Annealed at 865 o C) and Ti-5Al-2.5Sn Annealed (SS). In the same vein, maximum static strain obtained from the same set of materials were 0.0005628, 0.00005238 and 0.00005387 respectively. From the aforementioned results, AISI 1020 Steel (Cold Rolled) had not satisfy the failure distortion-energy theory, and may not be feasible for camshaft application in actual scenario because the Von-mises stress obtained had exceeded the material yield strength due to multiple translated non-proportional loading conditions which outweighed the load bearing capacity of the material. However, AISI 4130 Steel (annealed at 865 o C) despite the weight constrain (but still less heavier than AISI 1020 Steel Cold Rolled), was observed to produce optimum Von-mises stress, strain and displacement which indicated that it still had relevance in auto camshaft applications. Of all the materials examined in this study, it is evidently clear that Ti-5Al-2.5Sn Annealed (SS), the material with highest yield strength, also had the lowest Von-mises stress, static displacement and strain as well as the lowest density which makes it a better material for camshaft applications. For maintenance cost savings and improved fuel economy, lightweight materials are highly recommended. These factors could ultimately improve the overall vehicle performance and fuel efficiency.

Crankshaft is one of the critical components for the effective and precise working of the internal combustion engine. In this paper a dynamic simulation is conducted on a crankshaft from a single cylinder 4- stroke petrol engine. A threedimension model of petrol engine crankshaft is created using SOLID WORKS software. Finite element analysis is performed to obtain the variation of stress magnitude at critical locations of crankshaft. The dynamic analysis is done using FEA Software called ANSYS. This load is applied to the FE model in ANSYS, and boundary conditions are applied according to the engine mounting conditions. The overall objective of this paper is to evaluate and compare the stress analysis and deformation in different loads of two competing manufacturing technologies for automotive crankshafts, namely forged steel and composite material.
