Concept explainers

Metal Casting

Metal casting is described as a manufacturing process in which a mold cavity is produced by sand, and molten metal is filled inside a mold cavity. The desirable shaped object is achieved after the solidification of molten metal. Large metal objects like machine beds, motor bodies, and others can easily be manufactured using metal casting. The place or shop where metal casting is performed is called foundry.

Calculate the temperature at the end of the heat addition process.
A casting made of cast iron weighs 4.7 kg. The riser and gating system add another 2.5 kg to the total metal poured during the operation. The melting temperature of this grade of cast iron = 1180°C, its density = 7.6 g/cm3, specific heat = 0.46 J/g°C, and heat of fusion = 126 J/g. Assume that the specific heat has the same value for solid and molten metal. Compute (a) the unit energy for melting and pouring and (b) the total energy to heat the metal to a pouring temperature of 1300°C from a starting temperature of 25°C. (c) What is the volume of the casting?
A steel bar is heated in a furnace until it reaches 2000oF. The blacksmith observes that it cools to 1500oF in 15 minutes. It needs to be hammered into shape before it gets within 500oF of the room temperature (100oF) before it gets too cold to be shaped properly. After pulling out the steel bar from the furnace, how long does the blacksmith have before it needs to be reheated? Assume that Newton's law of cooling is applicable.

Q.B3. As part of a project, students have been asked to cast an Aluminium disc for use as a flywheel. The flywheel is part of an engine development project and needs to be 200 mm in diameter and 20 mm thick. Green sand casting will be used. The shrinkage associated with this metal and process is 5% at the solidification stage and further 3 % on cooling to room temperature. Aluminum has a density of 2710 kg/m³ and a melting temperature of 660°C. The pouring temperature is 700°C while the specific heat of aluminum is 887 J/kg.K. The latent heat of fusion of Aluminum is 396 kJ/kg. From previous experiments the Chorinov constant for the mold was found to be 10 s/mm². Determine: a.) The dimensions of the pattern (diameter and thickness) that will need to be made for this part (ignore riser and sprue). b.) The time it will take for complete solidification of the part. c.)

During zone melting process, the molten zone of a Cu-Ni alloy bar has the initial composition marked by point "B" in the phase diagram. Referring to the righthand side drawing, the power of the heater (induction coil) was on when it travels from left end to right end so that zone melting happened. The power was off when the heater translated fully back to the left side to keep the entire bar in solid state.
