What are some of the factors that influence the selection of a specific casting process as a means of making a product?

Factors that influence the selection of a specific casting process to make a product.
Explanation of Solution
There are a number of the metal casting processes are available in the market. Each process has its characteristics, advantages, and benefits. The selection of the best process as a means of making products is too difficult and requires a good understanding of products and in the process. some factors must be considered while selecting a casting process, which is given below −
- Dimensional tolerance
- Surface finish
- Number of casting
- Types of pattern and core box
- Economics of the casting process
- Types of metal
- Size of the product
- Strength of the product
If the requirement of products is too large, then we can choose permanent mold casting. Further, we have different types of casting availability, which can be selected through our requirements and understanding.

- The blade support of a hacksaw is subject to compression when a blade is installed and tightened. What is the state of stress (total combined stress) at A in MPa if the compression in the support is 1,524 N. Note: pay close attention to what is compression and what is tension and use a negative sign for the former. 100 mm 8 mm 3 mm 75 mm A 8 mm 3 mm B 50 mmarrow_forwardThe answer is not 4.378 ft/sarrow_forwardThe answer is not 0.293 marrow_forward

If the flume is to be able to carry up to twice its design flowrate, Q = 2Qo, determine the freeboard, I, needed. ✓ -90°- 0.991 m i marrow_forward
- Water flows in a 2-ft-wide rectangular channel at a rate of 10 ft³/s. If the water depth downstream of a hydraulic jump is 2.5 ft, determine (a) the water depth upstream of the jump, (b) the upstream and (c) downstream Froude numbers, and (d) the head loss across the jump.

If the spillway is 12 m wide, what is the flowrate over the spillway? Q= i m³/sarrow_forward(Manning equation) Water flows in a rectangular channel of width b at a depth of b/2. Determine the diameter of a circular channel (in terms of b) that carries the same flowrate when it is half-full. Both channels have the same Manning coefficient, n, and slope. barrow_forward
- (Manning equation) A weedy irrigation canal of trapezoidal cross section is to carry 20 m³/s when built on a slope of 0.60 m/km. If the sides are at a 45° angle and the bottom is 8 m wide, determine the width of the waterline at the free surface. i marrow_forwardWater flows in a 1.2-m-diameter finished concrete pipe so that it is completely full and the pressure is constant all along the pipe. If the slope is So = 0.0073, (a) determine the flowrate by using open-channel flow methods. Compare this result with (b) that obtained using the pipe flow methods of Chapter 8 (Use Colebrook formula, Table 8.1, Table 10.1 and assume that Re > 10º).
