A pure aluminum is being poured into a sand mold. The metal level in the pouring
basin is 10 in. above the metal level in the mold, and the runner is circular. What runner
diameter is needed to ensure a Reynolds number of 2000? how long will a 20 in' casting
take to fill with such a runner? given that Pure aluminum has a density of 2700 kg/m' and
a viscosity of around 0.0015 N.s/m2 at 700 °C. Use v 87.9 in/s 2.23 m/s for the Reynold
number. (
A component is sand casted in pure aluminum. The level of the metal inside a
pouring basin is 215 mm above the level of the metal in the mould. For a
viscosity value of 0.0017 Ns/m² and a circular runner with a diameter of 11 mm,
calculate:
2.1
The velocity and rate of flow of the metal into the mould.
2.2 What effect does turbulent flow in a gating system have on the casting?
2.3 Which measures can be implemented to reduce turbulent flow?
2. A 10-inch x 10-inch x 0.75-inch plate casting is produced with a steel alloy with p = 0.28 lb/in³
(= 7.75 g/cm³). Two third of the steel plate casting volume should be added more into the
original one, and all molten metal should be poured in 10 seconds. The cylindrical, tapered
sprue height is 4 inches. The sprue has a cylindrical base and is connected to two runners. Each
runner with a square vertical cross-section is connected to two gates. The gate has a
rectangular vertical cross-section, and its width is three times the height.

- Caplets are used to support a sand core inside a sand mold cavity. The design of the caplets and the manner in which they are placed in the mold cavity surface allows each caplet to sustain a force of 45 N. Several caplets are located beneath the core to support it before pouring; and several other caplets are placed above the core to resist the buoyancy force during pouring. If the volume of the core = 5450 cm3, and the metal poured is steel, determine the minimum number of caplets that should be placed (a) beneath the core, and (b) above the core (Sand density = 1.6 g/cm3, steel density = 7.82 g/cm3).arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between the fluid viscosity and the drag force?arrow_forwardQuestion 3 The component shown in Figure 3 is casted from grey cast iron, with a density of 7150 kg/m and a viscosity of 0.014 Ns/m², at the casting temperature of the material.
