Question 2

Moulds are made from special sand having specific properties so that defects do not occur. It is normally a mixture of

Question 3

A cast steel slab of dimension 40×20×10 cm, is poured horizontally using side riser. The riser is cylindrical in shape with diameter and height both equal to 20 cm.Then the freezing ratio is ________.

Question 4

A cylindrical top riser of 6 cm diameter and 6 cm height has to be designed for a sand casting mould for producing a steel rectangular plate casting of 7 cm × 10 cm × 2 cm dimensions having the total solidification time of 1.36 minute. The total solidification time (in minute) of the riser is _____

Question 5

The height of the down-sprue is 175 mm and its cross-sectional area at the base is 200 mm2. The cross-sectional area of the horizontal runner is also 200 mm2 assuming no losses, indicate the correct choice for the time (in seconds) required to fill a mold cavity of volume 106 mm3.
