11)Q2. Identify the casting process in which the molten metal is injected in mold/die at high pressure and explain its working principle along with a neat diagram.
As quick as possible.
Describe some common casting faults, and suggest steps that may be taken to minimize the risk of such faults occurring.
A riser in the shape of a sphere is to be designed for a sand casting mould at Simon Castings. The casting is a rectangular plate, with length = 400 mm, width = 250 mm, and thickness = 15 mm. If the total solidification time of the casting itself is known to be 7 min, determine the diameter of the riser so that it will take 30% longer for the riser to solidify.
