What material is commonly used to make disposable patterns?
With a solidification factor of 0.97 × 10^6 s/m2, the solidification time (in seconds) for a spherical casting of 200 mm diameter is
A casting defect caused by low green strength of the sand, where a portion of the sand breaks away from the mold, is known as
What is the effect on permeability if the sand is too fine?
Negative allowance is provided on the pattern to take care of the shake allowance.
The centrifugal casting method is used for casting articles of what type of shape?
In which of the following casting methods is the molten metal poured and allowed to solidify while the mold is revolving?
Which type of crystals are formed near the mold face during solidification of a liquid metal?
A cubic casting of 50 mm side undergoes volumetric solidification shrinkage of 4% and volumetric solid contraction of 6%. No riser is used. Assume uniform cooling in all directions. The side of the cube after solidification and contraction is:
We have to design an open cylindrical riser for a sand mold. The dimensions of the plate on which the part is to be cast are 150 mm x 150 mm x 50 mm. The total solidification time for the casting will be 5 minutes. The height-to-diameter ratio of the riser is 1. What is the diameter of the riser so that the total solidification time will be 40% longer than the casting?
