Which of the following gating designs is used to avoid the splashing of the molten metal in the mould?(a) Vertical gating(b) Horizontal gating(c) Inclined gating(d) Bottom gating |
|
Answer» The correct option is (d) Bottom gating To elaborate: In the case of bottom gating design the liquid metal is filled in the mould from bottom to top, thus it avoids the splashing of the molten metal in the mould that can cause erosion. And this design also prevents the oxidation which is associated with the vertical gating. |
|
| 22. |
Gating design for a mould of 50cm*25cm*15cm is shown in below figure. The cross-sectional area of the gate is 5 cm^2. Neglecting friction and velocity distribution effects, what is the filling time (t) for the design (in second)?(a) 19.25(b) 21.86(c) 34.21(d) 10.39 |
|
Answer» Correct choice is (b) 21.86 Easy explanation: H (Total height) = 15 cm, from the figure. v (Velocity of molten metal) = √2gH = √2*981*15 cm/sec = 171.6 cm/sec. V (Volume of the mould) = 50*25*15 cm³ and A (Cross-sectional area of the gate) = 5 cm^2. As we know, t = V/Av So, t (Filling time) = 50*25*15/5*171.6 sec = 21.86 sec. |

For ferrous alloys, the breaking of mould should be done at a temperature_____(a) 780 ⁰C(b) 850 ⁰C(c) above 700 ⁰C(d) below 700 ⁰C |
|
Answer» Correct answer is (d) below 700 ⁰C Explanation: Ideally, the moulds should be broken at a temperature when no transformation occurs. For ferrous alloys, the breaking should be done at a temperature below 700 ⁰C. If the castings are fragile and thin, they should be removed at a temperature as low as 400 ⁰C to avoid any deformation to the metal castings at the time of breaking of mould. |
