Question:
During a sand casting process, the constant C in Chvorinov’s rule
is 3 s/mm2. The process is used to produce a hollow cylindrical
casting with an OD (outside diameter) of 75 mm,
ID (inside diameter) of 50 mm, and a height of 125 mm. The mold
contacts the cylinder on both
the OD and the ID surfaces.
a) Estimate the time for the casting to fully solidify.
b) Write the equation used to calculate Chvorinov’s constant C.
Based on this equation, name
at least four (4) ways you could increase the time for
solidification.
c) Assume the molten metal will be supplied by gravity, through one
sprue. It has been found
that the sprue does not fill the mold cavity before the casting
solidifies. Name at least two
(2) changes you could introduce in the molten metal supply system
to decrease mold fill
time. Justify with applicable equations.

(Metal-Casting Processes) (Groups) 10.47 A round casting is 0.2 m in diameter and 0.75 m in length. Another casting of the same metal is elliptical in cross-section, with a major-to-minor axis ratio of 2, and has the same length and cross-sectional area as the round casting. Both pieces are cast under the same conditions. What is the difference in the solidification times of the two castings? 10.48 A cylinder with a diameter of 50 mm and a height of 75...
10.1 Investment casting is more suitable for mass production compare to sand casting: (a)True (b) False (0.1mark) Answer 10.2 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, or (d) time to give up the heat of fusion? (0.1mark) Answer. 10.3 A riser in casting is described by which of the following (three...
1) Turbulence during pouring of the molten metal is undesirable since (two best answers): a) it 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, and f) it increases total solidification time 2) Total solidification time is defined as a) time between...
Hi, please help me with this problem, please explain me step by
step and write with very good calligraphy. Thank you very much.
Consider casting sand mold of the piece shown in the figure. The
dimensions are in centimeters.
(i) The molten metal overflows the pouring cup of the mold and
flows down the sprue (downsprue) at a constant rate of 2000
cm3/s. The cross section of the sprue is circular, with
a diameter of 6 cm at the top....
Provide the formula please for each part solved
A solid hexagonal shaped casting of thickness 3 cm and each side as 8 cm is being casted in a sand mold. The distance from top of the pouring cup to the sprue bottom is 20 cm, which is along the parting line. The diameter of the circular cross section at the base of sprue is 1.5 cm. The part is fully buried in drag side of the mold and top surface...
Problem 2 (a): A mold has a downsprue of length - 6.0 in. The cross-sectional area at the bottom of the sprue is 0.5 in'. The sprue leads into a horizontal runner that feeds the mold cavity, whose volume = 75 in'. Determine (a) the velocity of the molten metal flowing through the base of the downsprue, (b) the volume rate of flow and (c) the time required to fill the mold cavity. Problem 2(b): The total solidification times of...
A cylindrical riser is to be designed for a sand casting mold. The length of the cylinder is 1.25 its diameter . The casting is a square plate, each side =10 in and thickness=.75 in . If the metal is Cast Iron, and the mold constant is 16.00 min/in^2 in chvorinov's rule, determine the dimensions of the riser so that it will take (40%) longer time for the riser to solidify. Can you show where the 40% is incorporated into...
. In casting experiments performed using a certain alloy and type of sand mold, it took 170 sec for a cube-shaped casting to solidify. The cube was 50 mm on a side. (a) Determine the value of the mold constant in Chvorinov's rule. (b) If the same alloy and mold type were used, find the total solidification time for a cylindrical casting in which the diameter 50 mm and length- 50 mm. Page 6 of 12 1.13. The housing for...
A pure magnesium alloy is emptied in a sand mold. If the longitude of the sprue is 1.5 in and 0.5 in diameter. Which is the velocity and the volumetric flux of the metal in the mold? Assume no friction losses and constant pressure durging the process. Is the flux turbulent or laminar? How long will take to fill a casting of 10 in3? Density of magnesium = 1.65 g/cm3 viscosity = 0.00132 Pa*second
