【 摘 要 】

The present work highlights the outcomes of the case study that investigate the reduction in through put time of drum shell manufacturing, which earlier employed a double-V butt welding configuration for joining the ends of the plates after rolling the plates into cylindrical form, while the proposed method makes use of single-V type configuration to fabricate the drum shells with ceramic backing strip arrangement. The proposed work eliminates some redundant operations like inside welding, back grinding and other side edge preparations thereby reducing the production time of drum shell manufacturing. 38% improvement in production rate of drum shells was observed by proposed method compared to the earlier method.
