- In sand casting of hollow part of lead, a cylindrical core of diameter 120 mm and height 180 mm is placed inside the mould cavity. The densities of core material and lead are 1600 kg/m3 and 11300 kg/m³ respectively. The net force (in N) that tends to lift he core during pouring of molten metal will bearrow_forwardWhich one is better for the casting structure (a) and (b) in the following figures? Why?arrow_forwardHow can we Interpret a Phase Diagram?arrow_forward
- Considering the phase diagram below, which composition would you chose if you were to design an alloy for casting, motivate your answer.arrow_forwardQ1 . Draw and explain five casting defects in sand casting process . Q2 . Explain hot working process with respect to microstructure . Also draw the diagram of microstructure.arrow_forwardA 5 cm cube solidifies in 4.6 min. Assume n=2. Calculate (a) the mold constant in Chvorinov’s rule and (b) the solidification time for a 1.25 cm X 12.5 cm X 15 cm bar cast under the same conditionsarrow_forward
- what are molten metal problems in a casting rocess ?why do those occur?arrow_forwardA liquid cast iron has a density of 7.65 g/cm3. Immediately after solidification, the density of the solid cast iron is found to be 7.71 g/cm3. Determine the percent volume change that occurs during solidification. Does the cast iron expand or contract during solidification?arrow_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_forward
- A aluminium alloy casting has a cylindrical geometry with 100mm in diameter and weighs 3200 gram. This casting takes 7.5 min to completely solidify. Another smaller and lighter cylindrical-shaped casting with the same diameterto-length ratio weighs 1800 gram. This casting is made of the same aluminium alloy and the same conditions of mold and pouring were used. Determinea) The mold constant in Chvorinov’s Rule,b) The dimensions of the lighter castingc) The total soldification time of the lighter casting. The density of aluminium alloy= 2.7 gram/cm3and n=2arrow_forwardA 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_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_forward
