Chapter 9, Problem 9.114DP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A process producing steel casting with uniform properties and high strength along with controlling microstructural features needs to be designed.

Concept Introduction:

During casting, molten metal is poured into the mold cavity of the desired shape and allowed to cool in the cavity.

Cast components are brittle and may cause rapid wear and tear under high forces.Casting strength can be calculated from solidification time and SDAS.Solidification time is the time required to solidify a cast material completely.
