Answer»

Correct option is (c) Grey cast IRON

The explanation: GENERALLY, metal patterns with the associated gating are used. The metal used for preparing patterns is grey cast iron; it is mainly used because of its easy availability and good stability at the temperatures involved in the process. Sometimes, ADDITIONAL risers are ALSO required as the cooling in SHELL moulds is slow.
