2 Question I 1. What is the solidification front? Is it different for pure metals and alloys during casting? 2. What are two possible reasons for porosity in a casting? 3. What is the function of a riser in sand casting? 4. The sprue should be tapered. True or False. Why? 5. Pouring temperature of molten metal can be decided using the following factors a) Fill time b) Solidification time c) Part temperature needed 6. Fill time cannot be calculated using bernoulli’s equation. True or False 7. In calculating solidification time, we should account for latent heat of vaporization. True or False 8. Pure metals tend to form dendritic columns more easily than alloys. True or False 9. Why can alloys give an equiaxed zone at the center? 10. What are micro and macro segregations during casting?
3 Question II 1. The chill zone formed during pure metal solidification has large unequal grains. True or False 2. The chill zone formed during alloy solidification has small equiaxed grains. True or False 3. Dendrite formation is more likely in alloys than in pure metals. True or False 4. A large freezing range in an alloy typically results in less dendrite formation. True or False 5. A high cooling rate during solidification of alloys can cause the dendrite to be coarse and cored. True or False 6. Is having a riser important in sand casting. Why? What about die casting? 7. Which type of casting can produced the thinnest parts (thin walled)? 8. Chocolate forms are available in hollow shapes. What process should be used to make these chocolates?

4 Question III 1. Which do you think will have more defects – (a) gravity pouring or (b) pouring under pressure? 2. Sand casting uses an expendable pattern. True or False 3. Vertical flaskless sand mold making will typically have better dimensional tolerances than vacuum molding of sand molds. True or False 4. Shell molding can easily be executed with green sand as opposed to using no-bake sand. True or False 5. In Evaporative pattern casting, the liquid metal does not touch the pattern. True or False 6. In Investment casting, the liquid metal does not touch the pattern. True or False 7. Vacuum casting can yield great surface finish. True or False 8. Hot chamber die casting needs higher pressures than cold chamber die casting. True or False
5 Question III 9. Cold chamber die casting is typically used to cast low melting point alloys. True or False 10. Die casting can produce high strength to weight ratio, especially for thin parts due to a) Pressure during casting causes well packed structure in a thin part. b) With proper venting, any trapped gas can be removed with pressure during casting c) Chill zone extends through a large extent in a thin part, with equiaxed grains.
