Assignment 4

1. In casting, gating ratio is defined as the ratio of


a) sprue area : total runner area : total gate area
b) total gate area : sprue area : total runner area
c) total runner area : sprue area : total gate area
d) total runner area : total gate area : sprue area

2. Which among the following factor affects the pouring time of the casting?
a) Location of riser
b) Porosity of sand mould
c) Fluidity of casting metal
d) Area of pouring basin

3. The connecting passage between bottom of sprue and ingate is


a) Pouring basin
b) Sprue
c) Runner
d) Ingate

4. Which among the following is correct regarding the functions of gating system?
a) Time taken for pouring or filling of molten metal into the cavity should be minimum as
possible
b) Time taken for pouring or filling of molten metal into the cavity should be as
maximum as possible
c) It ensures the filtration of impurities present in molten metal.
d) It ensures smooth and quiet entry of molten metal inside the cavity.

5. Which among the following is role of strainer?


a) It is used for avoiding sand erosion from bottom of sprue
b) It is used to filter out impurities present in molten metal
c) It is the last point of gating system from where the molten metal enters into the casting
cavity
d) It is used adjacent to mold to increase the heat transfer.

6. In a sand casting process, a sprue of 10 mm base diameter and 250 mm height leads to
a runner which fills a cubical mould cavity of 100 mm size. The volume flow rate (in
mm3/sec) and the mould filling time (in second) are
a) 0.8× 105, 2.8
b) 1.1× 105, 7.54
c) 1.7× 105, 5.78
d) 2.3× 105, 8.41

Solution: Given, D = 10 mm, h = 250 mm

Velocity of molten metal at the sprue end = V1=


2
Cross sectional area of sprue = A1 /4)
Where d = diameter of sprue base
Flow rate = A1V1 = 173942.13 mm3/ sec
Volume of mould = 100×100×100 mm3
Mould filling time = Volume of mould / Flow rate = 5.75 sec

a) i only
b) ii only
c) Both i & ii
d) None of the above

9. Sprue of uniform cross section instead of tapered one is likely to


a) Decrease aspiration effect
b) Decrease flow velocity
c) Increase aspiration effect
d) Increase flow velocity

10. The least efficient shape a riser is


a) cylindrical riser
b) Cubical riser
c) Plate shaped riser
d) spherical riser
