Test: Casting Level - 3 - Question 1

A job shown in the figure is to be made from steel by casting process. The mould for this job is made from wooden pattern. Dimensions of the wooden pattern assuming machining allowance of 3 mm on each side, shaking allowance of 1 mm on length & width & shrinkage allowance of 3%.

Detailed Solution for Test: Casting Level - 3 - Question 1
Since given machining allowance is 3 mm on each side, add 3 mm on each side of the part shown in figure. The dimensions of pattern after machining will be

L = 80 + 2 x 3 = 86 mm

W = 40 + 2 x 3 =46 mm

H = 30 + 2 x 3 = 36 mm

The shrinkage allowance of 3% is added to all the dimensions of pattern. Dimension of pattern after providing shrinkage allowance of 3% will be

Given shaking allowance is 1 mm on length and width. Recall that shaking allowance is a negative allowance. Hence 1 mm has to be reduced from the calculated values of length and width side.

L = 88.58 - 1 = 87.58 mm

W = 47.38 - 1 = 46.38 mm

H = 37.08 mm

Test: Casting Level - 3 - Question 3

Metal is to be poured in a cubical cavity of 100 cm side made entirely in drag. The crosssection of the cope box is 200x 150 cm and height is 100 cm. If the densities of metal and sand are 7900 kg/m3 and 1600 kg/m3 respectively. The minimum weight required to be placed on cope in kN to prevent lifting of cope box is __________.


Detailed Solution for Test: Casting Level - 3 - Question 3
Metallastatic pressure on the mould = pgh

= 7900 x 9.81 x 1

Upward force exerted by molten metal on cope = 77499 x 1 x 1

= 77.499 kN

So, minimum weight to keep in cope box

= 77.499 - 4.8

= 72.699 kN

Detailed Solution for Test: Casting Level - 3 - Question 20

Concept:

A sprue feeds metal to the runner which in turn reaches the casting through gates.

A sprue is tapered with its bigger end at the top to receive the liquid metal. The smaller end is connected to the runner.
