INDUSTRIAL EXPOSURE TO PRESS WORKING AND WELDING PROCESSES UNDER INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.

The industrial training at Inspire Metal Engineering, Ahilyanagar MIDC provided valuable practical exposure to press working and welding processes. The training helped in understanding the actual implementation of manufacturing principles studied during mechanical engineering education. The study of press working provided knowledge about sheet metal operations, press machines, punches, dies, tooling, production sequences, and quality requirements. Exposure to welding operations helped in understanding welding equipment, joint preparation, welding parameters, fabrication practices, defects, and inspection. The training also emphasized the importance of workplace safety, quality control, productivity, proper material handling, and process discipline. Overall, the industrial exposure helped bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical industrial requirements and contributed to the development of technical and professional skills required for mechanical engineering students.
