Conceptual design and analysis of electron beam welding fixture for truss rod assembly in the construction of ITSC-15 in GSLV MK-II

The scope of our project deals with the design of a welding fixture for Electron Beam Welding to weld the Truss rod Assembly of Inter Tank Structure and Lower Thermal Shroud for GSLV MK-II. According to this, the result of the welding is pure and dense, porosity and inclusions are not present in welds due to the absence of oxidization in the chamber.The role of our project is to design the fixture to support the components that have to be functioning in order to increase the geometrical accuracies and mainly concentrated to reduce the fabrication errors that comes under the manufacturing process.
