- 4 In sand casting, the volumetric size of the pattern is (a) bigger than, (b) same size as, or (c) smaller than the cast part? Explain your answerarrow_forwardWhen casting a 4x10x20 in. Part, which has a top overflow with a H / D = 1.5 ratio, you want to determine the height and diameter of the overflow to prevent shrinkage in the part to be cast. Note: Remember that to achieve this, the overflow has to solidify some time after the piece has solidified, since in this case the overflow acts as a riser.arrow_forward2b) Figure 3 shows a cooling curve of Cadmium (Cd). Determine (i) the solidification temperature;(ii) the superheat;(iii) the cooling rate, just before solidification begins; (iv) the total solidification time; (v) the local solidification time; and(vi) If the cooling curve was obtained at the center of the casting sketched in the figure, determine the mold constant, assuming that n = 2.arrow_forward
- Which one is better for the casting structure (a) and (b) in the following figures? Why?arrow_forwardWhen designing patterns for casting, patternmakers use special rulers that automatically incorporate solid shrinkage allowances into their designs. For example, a 12-in. patternmaker’s ruler is longer than 1 foot. How long should a patternmaker’s ruler be for making patterns for (a) aluminum castings and (b) high-manganese steel?arrow_forwardIn turbine blade casting, how is a single-crystal structure achieved? Select one or more: a. By using a curving coil-like channel in the casting mould b. By removing grain boundaries by hot working and recrystallisation c. By careful control of the temperatures of the mould d. By introducing impurities into the molten alloy in the mouldarrow_forward
- Discuss when might low quantities be justified for the die-casting process?arrow_forwardDescribe the die casting process in detail. Use neat sketches for clarity. Differentiate clearly between hot-chamber die casting and cold-chamber die casting processes. What is the difference between true centrifugal and semi-centrifugal casting? Describe the centrifugal casting process in detail. Use neat sketches to elaborate your description.arrow_forwardDescribe the detailed processes about the Expendable-Pattern casting. Please use numbered lists to show each step and process.arrow_forward
- A slab of 1500 mm x 750 mm x 500 mm is required to be cast using a sand casting process. It was observed previously that the total solidification time (T) for this casting = 1.6 min. Find out the cylindrical riser dimensions (diameter to height ratio = 1) for a solidification time T = 5 min.arrow_forwardQ2 /A/ In casting experiments performed using a certain alloy and type of sand mold, casting made of steel with shape as disk, with diameter =700mm and 30mm thickness , it took 20sec for a solidify Determine the value of the mold constant in Chvorinov's rulearrow_forwardWhat would you do to improve the surface finish in expendable-mold casting processes?arrow_forward
