List of top Manufacturing Processes I Questions on Types of casting processes and applications

In casting a cube of 80 mm side, the volumetric shrinkages due to solidification and solid contraction are 4.5% and 2%, respectively. Assume uniform cooling in all directions. The side (in mm) of the cubical pattern for getting the required size casting is .............

The solidification of a casting starts at 10 AM. However, the solidification of the molten metal at the center-line of the mold starts at 10:03 AM and ends at 10:10 AM. The casting is considered solidified completely when the solidification is completed at the center-line of the mold. The center-line feeding resistance (CFR) in percentage is .............
