Chapter 12, Problem 26QTP
When 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 ft. How long should a patternmaker’s ruler be for making patterns for (a) aluminum castings and (b) high-manganese steel?

1. The blank for the spool shown in Fig. below is to be sand cast out of A-319,
an aluminum casting alloy. Make a sketch of the wooden pattern for this
part, and include all necessary allowances for shrinkage and machining.
12.5 mm
12.0 mm
75.0 mm
100.0 mm -
(b) In casting experiments performed using a certain alloy and type of sand mould, for
which n can be approximately taken as 2, it took 155 sec for a cube-shaped casting
to solidify. The cube was 50 mm per side.
(i)
Determine the value of the mould constant in Chvorinov's rule.
(ii)
When the same alloy and mould type are used to make a cylindrical
casting of diameter 30 mm, what is the maximum length of the cylinder if
the maximum solidification time is limited to 1 minute?
A cubical casting of 100 mm side is to be made from steel using an Al pattern (master pattern). For preparing the master pattern, a wooden pattern is used. Determine the dimensions of master pattern and wooden pattern. Use shrinkage allowance (mm/mm) for steel and Al as 0.021 and 0.013 respectively

In reverse drawing, the shape change is significant enough (e.g., drawing ratio greater than 2.0) that it must be carried out in two drawing steps, probably with an annealing operation between the steps.

In semicentrifugal casting, a tubular mold is used and a tubular part is produced. In true centrifugal casting, the shape is solid; an example is a railway wheel.

The mold is 7.0 cm deep. A total of 350 cm³ of molten aluminum is poured into the mold. Solidification shrinkage is known to be 6.25%, which is a volumetric contraction, not a linear contraction.
