Quick solidification of the casting can cause defects like shrinkages, cracks or blow holes.
View Answer Explanation
Shot blasting operation is mainly done to identify the type of defects in the casting part.
A trimming press is a machine tool which is widely used for removing the excess material from the casting part.
Venting is a process which allows molten metal to compensate for its liquid and solidification shrinkage.
Which of the following effects is the effect caused by the ignition of oxygen due to high pressure and temperature of melt?
Improper venting during moulding process causes a diesel effect which further results in stress crack defects in the casting.
For proper venting, the pouring time is increased which allow easy escape out of gases from the mould without inducing any defects.
High viscosity of molten metal can help in removing of gases but will cause defects in the casting.
Porous sintered materials can be inserted into the mould cavity to act as a vent.
Vacuum technology for venting process is very economical and widely used in the casting process.
In the injection moulding process, an overflow system is used for the venting process.
