There was a breakfast point near our college campus (28 years ago)
We often used to go there for breakfast & there was a lot of rush.
Many times I had noticed that a person came and took advantage of the crowd & after eating, secretly leaves
without paying.
One day while he was eating, I secretly informed the owner of the breakfast point that this person would take advantage of the rush and leave without paying the bill.
Listening to me, the owner of the breakfast point started smiling and said to let him go .
As usual, this person , after having breakfast, looked around and taking advantage of the crowd quietly slipped away.
After he left, I now asked the owner of the breakfast point to tell me why he had let the man go .. why did he ignore this man's action ???
Alicon Castalloy Ltd-
History
-ACL was established as Enkei Castalloy Ltd (Enkei Castalloy), a joint venture between Pegasus Castalloy Ltd (an Indian company that manufactures cast-aluminium automotive components since 1990) and Enkei Corporation (in Japan; one of the largest
manufacturers of alloy wheels in the world). Owing to sustained losses in the alloy wheels division, the promoters hived it off as a separate company, Enkei Wheels Ltd, and retained the casting business with effect from April 1, 2009.
- Enkei Castalloy was renamed as ACL on December 27, 2010.
-Manufacturing Plants
1- Shikrapur- Maharashtra,
2-Chinchwad in Maharashtra
3- Binola in Haryana
4- international plant is in Slovakia
ALUMINUM CASTING METHODS( Trying to understand ,Please provide your inputs and point out any mistake from my side)
Three primary metal casting methods can be used to cast aluminum: die casting, permanent mold casting, and sand casting
1- Sand Casting-In this method, a mold is created from a sand mixture, containing a cavity into which the molten aluminum alloy from which your part will be created is poured. Once the aluminum cools and solidifies, the sand mold is broken away from the part.
2- Permanent Mold Casting- in this aluminum casting method, the mold is not broken away . A reusable metal mold is created, and the cavity is filled with aluminum via gravity. The mold is then separated after cooling and the finished part ejected or removed
Aluminium in Electrical vehicles ( Source - Business world)
-The automobile industry has been one of the biggest consumers of aluminium.
-It is not just used for making the frame and body of vehicles, but also electrical wiring, wheels, ABS brakes, transmission, air conditione
condenser and pipes, and in engine parts like pistons, radiator and cylinder head.
Use of aluminium, instead of steel, enhances performance, safety, fuel efficiency and durability, and also renders many environmental benefits.
EVs are currently range constrained. A 100 kg reduction in the weight of an EV can translates into an additional 10-15 per cent increase in range. And increased range is critical to drive higher EV adoption and close the gap with ICE vehicles,
Gujarat hosts 27.5mmtpa of LNG import terminals (52% of total capacity in India) and will add more over the next couple of years.
Some of these are-
1-Chhara Jaffrabad (Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited) – 5 mmtpa – is expected to be commissioned in 18 months. 2- The recently commissioned Mundra LNG re-gasification terminal is operating at 40% capacity. With increase in the capacity of
this pipeline, the terminal’s utilisation should improve further.
3-Petronet LNG is expanding its Dahej terminal capacity further from 17.5 mmtpa to 20 mmtpa by FY24-25 by adding two tanks.
