Local auto industry is constantlyinvesting in the country amid criticaleconomic turmoil in Pakistan whileother industries pulled out Governmentshould formulate policies that supportthe industry to create more employmentopportunities This was stated by IndusMotor Company CEO Mr Parvez Ghiaswhile addressing concluding ceremonyat Pakistan Auto Parts Show 2011He said that the auto industry is fullydocumented pays bills and taxesregularly and doesnrsquot demand anythingfrom the government apart from stableand long term policies to help developthe engineering base in the country forthe sake of localisationMr Ghias said that auto industry is agrowth driver in several countries likeUSA Japan Korea Thailand and nowIndia In Pakistan too he said itprovides jobs to millions of local youthcontributes 5 per cent to the nationalexchequer (Rs98 billion) transfersmodern technology provides means ofmobility for goods and people besidesenabling other associated industries torunIn a step to strengthen local autovendors he mentioned IMC alonepurchases Rs90 million worth of autoparts every working day which meansaddition of Rs24 billion to Pakistanrsquoseconomy per year and providesemployment to over 200000 localskilled workers at vending industryCEO IMC urged the government to focuson polices which encourage moreinvestments in country and create morejobs for increasing population ofPakistan He said that providingemployment opportunities to the massesshould be the top priority of the industryand policy makers to ensure equitablegrowth and social justice

He said that India has progressed froma closed economy to a deregulated oneand its policies have attracted globalplayers to invest in India if they wantaccess to Indian markets which createdjob opportunities for millions of peopleMoreover India is protecting its localindustry by placing non-tariff barrierson importsWhile describing the challenges in thegrowth of the auto sector Parvez Ghiassaid consistent policy framework shouldbe in place along with good governanceas it impacts our currency Better roadinfrastructure cheaper fuels technologyinfrastructure and high qualitygraduates are needed to give a boost tothe industry he addedHe commended Pakistan AutomotiveManufacturers Association (PAMA) andPakistan Association of AutomotiveParts Accessories Manufacturers(PAAPAM) for their contributions inbringing the local auto industry to agreat height where the industry ishelping the people with employmentenriching their livesCEO IMC especially thanked PAAPAMfor providing the opportunity to IMC tobe the principal sponsor for PAPS ldquoIMChopes the exhibition has served thepurpose in conveying the valuable rolethat the industry is playing in theindustrial growth and development ofPakistanrdquo he concluded

He said that the exhibition has givenboth public and policy makers a chanceto closely look at the development madeby the engineering sector and that theadverse policies like relaxation in UsedCars Import and recommendations ofGary Pursal etc are impediments to thegrowth of this sectorHe said the advancement made by thissector were mainly due to consistentpolicies which enabled the industry toplan enhance and invest as per thepotentials but sudden shift in policiesduring last few years has not onlystopped the industry from planningfurther enhancement but have actuallyrolled back many engineeringadvancements made in last 15 years

Stable policies a prerequisiteto encourage investment in

Do you know what start happening whenengine starts (not car) the momentengine is started wearing of engine partsis simultaneously started When vehiclestarts moving hundreds of parts startwearingQuestion is what is this ldquoWEARINGrdquoor ldquoWEARrdquo In simple words when twometallic or non metallic surfaces ofmaterials interfere each other duringmotion the wear phenomenon is boundto occur This continuous wear orerosion of material changes thedimensions strength and weight of thematerials In the automobiles WEARremained a challenging evil fordesigners lubrication engineers andMaterial engineers (Material scientists)Although wear cannot be eliminated butto great extent it could be controlled forextended life of precious assemblies orcomponentsIn case of metal to metal contacttemperature and lubricants play vitalrole to increase or decrease rate of wearOther types of wear such as abrasivewear fretting wear or surface fatigueare also linked with the physical contactsof materials in motion (stationaryconditions amp decomposition are notunder consideration here) If normalstandardized working temperature ofengine is regularly maintained andrecommended (specified) lubricants areused at recommended intervals withgenuine parts vehiclersquos overall life couldbe enhanced Abnormal wear betweenmetallic amp non metallic contacts suchas brake shoes amp brake drum clutchplate pressure plate and fly wheel orbetween two non ndash metallic surfacessuch as tires amp roads could be controlledby good driving skills and on timenecessary technical adjustment of parts

FREQUENTLY ASKEDQUESTIONS ( FAQs )

Question What is the message forvehicle owners in this subjectAnswer To create awareness aboutthe losses continuously consumingmoney of vehicleownerNormal wear may be included inoperational cost but abnormal wear isa net loss which must be controlled

Question How to control abnormalwear to save from cost penaltiesAnswer There are different conditions situations happening every wherewhich cannotbe completely described but someimportant conditions situations forthe control of abnormal wear (OEMASSEMBLIES) are here under- Never operate engine abovenormal temperature- Always use genuine parts andmaterials- Strictly follow periodicmaintenance (Normal or Severeas the conditions may be)- Always use genuine and specifiedlubricants- Vehicle must be driven by patientamp skilled person- After four or more hours parkinggive 23 minutes for engine warmup- Never accelerate during warmup- During initial 5000 km (new

vehicle) driveundermanufacturerrsquosinstructions- Shift gear asrecommended- Avoid rainy jampanic cyclone oroverloadingconditions- Avoid towing of other vehicle- Avoid broken bumpy and roughroads strictly follow seasonaloperating instructionsQuestion Can we measure wearAnswer Yes of course wear ismeasurable with the help of precisionmeasuring instrumentssuch as Micrometer Vernier caliperDepth gauge and feeler gauge etcQuestionWhat are possible causes ofwear and increased wear rateAnswer Following are the causes ofwear and increased wear rate-Friction-Less Lubrication (oil starvation)-Low or high operatingtemperature-Incorrect Torque of fasteners(Consult repair manuals)-Terrain (up hills down hills)-Surface conditions (SandyMarshy OilyShingles ways)-Usage (Frequency)-Usage (Style)-Driving (Style)-Driving (Skills)-Wheel Alignment (incorrect)-Load Factor-Under specifications parts-Non-Genuine parts

Question Can we run automobile atzero wear rate Answer No

WEARby Haider Nawab

In the automobiles WEAR remained a challenging evil fordesigners lubrication engineers and Material engineers

(Material scientists)Although wear cannot be eliminated but to great extent it

could be controlled for extended life of preciousassemblies or components

All parts of the engine (which arecovered in detail below) exist in orderto make possible the process shownhere the internal combustion of gasolinein order to produce useful power at thecarrsquos wheels Heat energy produced byburning gasoline is converted intomechanical power by the pistonsconnecting rods and crankshaft of theengine This is accomplished by what isknown as the Four Stroke Cycle whichis described belowEvery movement of the piston up ordown inside its cylinder is called astroke Because of the connecting rodevery two strokes of a piston cause thecrankshaft to rotate 360 degrees Hereare the four strokes that make the enginerun

1Intake StrokeThe intake valve opens the pistondescends in its cylinder and the air fuelmixture is drawn in

2Compression StrokeThe intake valve closes the piston risesand the air fuel mixture is compressedat the top of the cylinder near sparkplug

3Power StrokeWhen the piston is near the top ofcylinder the spark plug fires the mixtureand the piston is forced back down the

cylinder by expanding gases

4Exhaust StrokeThe exhaust valve opens the piston risesonce more and the burnt gases areforced out of the cylinder and into theexhaust portOf the four strokes only third onedelivers any power The other threestrokes all absorb power as the pistonsand valves essentially act like a pumpmoving and compressing gases Forevery piston that is delivering powerthree more are absorbing some of it fortheir pumping strokes More power isabsorbed by the friction in the engineand transmission and more still to drivevarious internal engine parts andexternal accessories such as theAlternator AC Compressor and PowerSteering pump Whatever power leftafter all these losses actually propels thecar Luckily the gasoline is animmensely powerful substance and onecupful contains the same energy as adozen sticks of DynamiteThe difference between the volumeinside a cylinder when the piston is atthe bottom of its stroke and when it isat the top of its stroke is called thecompression ratio The more the air-fuel mixture can be compressed thehigher the horse power and fueleconomy of an engine However highercompression ratios can cause excessive

combustiontemperaturepeaks that inturn producea n a i rp o l l u t a n tc a l l e dN i t r o g e nOxide (NOx)a major causeof smogT h ecompressedmixture whenig ni t e d b yspa rk plug

should burn rapidlybut smoothly acrossthe top of the pistonIt does not explodeinstantaneously Ifthe octane rating ofgasoline being usedis too low some ofthe mixture awayfrom the spark plug may ignitespontaneously when compressed Thiscauses a condition commonly known asKnocking or Pinging Diesel fuel isignited by compression alone in enginesthat use no spark plugs but havecompression ratios of more than 201

Valve OverlapIn theory the valves open or close whenthe piston is at the exact top or bottomof its stroke In practice there is a slightoverlap period during which both valvesare open at once The momentum of themoving gases allows the air fuel mixtureto enter the cylinder and the exhaustgases to exit at the same time despitethe slight up and down motion of thepiston at that instant On some enginesthe exhaust valve is allowed to open solong that some exhaust gases are drawnback into the cylinder They lower thecombustion temperature peaks andreduce NOx formation

Cylinder Firing OrderThe throws on the crankshaft arearranged so that the pistons do not allmove up and down at the same timeThis allows the power strokes of thepistons to occur at even intervals in mostengines which tends to minimizevibration In a four cylinder engine thecylinders are numbered from front toback If the spark plug fires in numericalorder- 1234- the engine would be outof balance and would vibrate excessivelyVibration is reduced by a firing order of1-3-4-2 or 1-2-4-3 In-line 6 cylinderengine usually have a firing order of 1-5-3-6-2-4contact to writer emailtechniciandanish2010livecom
