In foundry work, a runner is which one of the following? (a) channel in the mold leading from the downsprue to the main mold cavity (b) foundryman who moves the molten metal to the mold (c) vertical channel into which molten metal is poured into the mold |
channel in the mold leading from the downsprue to the main mold cavity |
|
|
Turbulence during pouring of the molten metal is undesirable for which of the following reasons? (2)
(a) is causes discoloration of the mold surfaces (b) it dissolves the binder used to hold together the sand mold (c) it increases erosion of the mold surfaces (d) it increases the formation of metallic oxides that can become entrapped during solidification (e) it increases the mold filling time (f) it increases total solidification time |
it increases erosion of the mold surfaces, it increases the formation of metallic oxides that can become entrapped during solidification |
|
|
Total solidification time is defined as which one of the following? (a) time between pouring and complete solidification (b) time between pouring and cooling to room temperature (c) time between solidification and cooling to room temperature (d) time to give up and heat of fusion |
time between pouring and complete solidification |
|
|

|
|
Chvorinov's tole states that total solidification time is proportional to which one of the following quantities? (a) (A/V)^n (b) Hf (c) Tm (d) V (e) V/A (f) (V/A)^2 where A = surface area of casting, Hf = heat of fusion, Tm = melting temperature, and V = volume of casting |
(V/A)^2 |
|
|
A riser in casting is described by which of the following? (3)
(a) an insert in the casting that inhibits buoyancy of the core (b) gating system in which the sprue feeds directly into the cavity (c) metal that is not part of the casting (d) source of molten metal to feed the casting and compensate for shrinkage during solidification (e) waste metal that is usually recycled |
metal the is not part of the casting, source of molten metal to feed the casting and compensate for shrinkage during solidification, waste metal that is usually recycled |
|
|
