Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 1

Small amount of carbonaceous material sprinkled on the inner surface of mould cavity is called:

Detailed Solution: Question 1

Facing sand is carbonaceous material sprinkled to get better surface finish.

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 2

Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists:

Detailed Solution: Question 2

Top gate causes turbulence due to high head and velocity

Bottom gate unfavourable temperature gradient

Parting gate most widely used and economical

Step gate multiple gates are used for heavy and large castings

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 3

A sand casting mould assembly is shown in the above figure. The elements marked A and B are respectively

Detailed Solution: Question 3

The vertical tapered section is sprue. It is tapered to avoid aspiration.

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 4

Which of the following are the requirements of an ideal gating system?

1. The molten metal should enter the mould cavity with as high velocity as possible.

2. It should facilitate complete filling of the mould cavity.

3. It should be able to prevent the absorption of air or gases from the surroundings in the molten metal while flowing through it.

Select the correct answer using the codes given below

Detailed Solution: Question 4

Statement 1 is wrong because if the velocity is as high as possible the flow will become turbulent which results in sand erosion, respiration effects etc.

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 5

The gating ratio for copper in gating system design refers to the ratio of areas of:

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Gating ratio is sprue area: runner area: in-gate area.

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 6

The relationship between total freezing time t, volume of the casting V and its surface area A, according to Chvorinov’s rule is:

Where ‘k’ is constant

Detailed Solution: Question 6

As per Chvorinov’s rule Solidification time (t)

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 7

A spherical drop of molten metal of radius 2 mm was found to solidify in 10 seconds. A similar drop of radius 4 mm would solidify in:

Detailed Solution: Question 7

For spherical casting

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 8

The ratio of surface area to volume for a unit volume of riser is minimum in case of:

Detailed Solution: Question 8

For same volume the ratio of surface areas of sphere : cylinder : cube: is 4.84 : 5.54 : 6

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 9

When an alloy solidifies over a range of temperature, the resulting casting structure is:

Detailed Solution: Question 9

Solidification of pure metals: Columnar structure Solidification of alloys: Dendritic structure

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 10

Directional solidification in castings can be improved by using:

Detailed Solution: Question 10

Directional solidification in castings can be improved by chills and paddings.

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 11

Consider the following advantages of shell mould casting:

1. Close dimensional tolerance

2. Good surface finish

3. Low cost

4. Easier

Which of these are correct?

Detailed Solution: Question 11

Use of metallic pattern makes the process expensive.

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 12

Consider the following ingredients used in moulding:

1. Dry silica sand

2. Clay

3. Phenol formaldehyde

4. Sodium silicate Those used for shell mould casting include

Detailed Solution: Question 12

Shell mould casting uses silica sand and phenal formaldehyde.

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 13

Light and intricate parts with close dimensional tolerances of the order of 0.005 mm are produced by:

(A) investment casting

(B) die casting

(C) centrifugal casting

(D) shell mould casting


Detailed Solution: Question 13

Intricate parts with close dimensional tolerance are made by using investment casting.

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 14

Which one of the following processes produces a casting when pressure forces the molten metal into the mould cavity?

Detailed Solution: Question 14

In pressure die casting the molten metal is pushed into a cavity by using a plunger.

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 15

In which of the following are metal moulds are used?

Detailed Solution: Question 15

Metallic moulds are used in die casting process.

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 16

In a centrifugal casting method~:

Detailed Solution: Question 16

No core is used in centrifugal casting method.

Test: Casting Level - 1 - Question 17

Which of the following are the most likely characteristics in centrifugal casting?
