Chapter 5, Problem 34QLP
Recent research has identified mold-surface textures that will either (a) inhibit a solidified steel from separating from the mold or (b) force it to stay in contact in continuous casting. What is the advantage of a mold that maintains intimate contact with the steel?

- Which 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.

- Answer this broadly.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_forwardA riser in the shape of a sphere is to be designed for a sand casting mold.
