A riser in the shape of a sphere is to be designed for a sand casting mold. The casting is a rectangular plate,
with length = 100 mm, width = 50 mm, and thickness = 10 mm. If the total solidification time of the casting
itself is known to be 2.5 min, determine the diameter of the riser so that it will take 20% longer for the riser
to solidify.

nucleus with a BCC structure. The given data are; lattice parameter (0.292 nm), the heat of
fusion energy (1.85×10-9 J/m³), latent surface free energy (0.204 J/m²), critical radius (1-35

- 2) Explain the reasons for shrinkage that occurs during solidification of a cylindrical casting What do you make for compensation of shrinkage depending on the casting operation?arrow_forwardA flat plate is to be cast in an open mold whose bottom has a square shape of 12.5 cm by 12.5 cm. The mold is 7.0 cm deep. A total of 350 cm³ of molten aluminum is poured into the mold. Solidification shrinkage is known to be 6.25%, which is a volumetric contraction, not a linear contraction. Table 7.1 lists the linear shrinkage due to thermal contraction after solidification. If the availability of molten metal in the mold allows the square shape of the cast plate to maintain its square dimension until solidification is completed, determine the final dimensions (width and height) of the plate.arrow_forwardWhich of these factors causes more porosity to form toward the interior of a casting rather than toward the outside? (a) Gasses are less soluble in the solid metal than the liquid, so solidified areas push dissolved gasses toward the interior. (b) Casting under a vacuum causes gasses near the liquid metal surface to be drawn out of the liquid during solidification. (c) The feeding structures of the mold are designed to force entrapped air into the center of the casting. (d) Draft on the mold wall forces air bubbles toward the interior of the solidifying metal. (e) None of the above Non-eutectic alloys (most commercial alloys) solidify over a temperature range. Which of the following statements explains how this affects the casting process. (a) Solidified non-eutectic alloys are especially difficult to remove from metal dies (b) Non-eutectic alloys have significantly less fluidity than pure metals or eutectic alloys.

Part, which has a top overflow with a H / D = 1.5 ratio, you want to determine the height and diameter of the overflow to prevent shrinkage in the part to be cast.
