Manufacturing Processes 

(a) Describe the 'true centrifugal casting' process with a neat sketch.
(b) In a sand casting experiment that was performed using Aluminium alloy, it took 180
seconds for a rectangular plate casting to solidify. The plate has a length of 100 mm,
width of 80 mm and height of 10 mm.
(i) Determine the value of the mold constant in Chvorinov's Rule.
(ii) If the same alloy and mold type were used, find the total solidification time for
producing a hollow cylindrical casting with an outer diameter of 30 mm and height
of 50 mm. The core has a diameter of 20 mm.
