How are Rail Wheels made
Molten steel is used in manufacturing of rail wheels. Molten steel is put in dies and wheels are die-casted from molten steel. At the same time necessary ingredients are tested in molten steel and if there is any shortage of these ingredients, these are added. Copper, Aluminium, Magnesium are generally part of the molten steel …
Theodolite surveying
Theodolite surveying is a way of surveying using an instrument called Theodolite. Vertical and horizontal angles are typically to be measured in construction and other civil engineering projects. Compass surveying is very common, however there are scenarios where angular measurements using compass surveying is not feasible or practical. Theodolite technique comes in there and helps …
