The housing for a certain machinery product is made of two components, both aluminum castings. The larger component has the shap
e of a dish sink and the second component is a flat cover that is attached to the first component to create an enclosed space for the machine parts. Sand casting is used to produce the two castings, both of which are plagued by defects in the form of misruns and cold shuts. The shop supervisor complains that the thicknesses of the parts are too thin, and that is the reason for the defects. However, it is known that the same components are cast successfully in other foundries. What explanations can be given for the defects
The pouring of the molten metal during casting is done very slowly hence the molten metal froze before reaching all parts of the mould cavity. also the early freezing can occur if the temperature of the molten metal was lower than the required temperature for casting
Explanation:
since the same components are being casted at other foundries and they don't have the defects ,
Hence the reason for the defects experienced by these components can be caused when the pouring of the molten metal during casting is done very slowly hence the molten metal froze before reaching all parts of the mould cavity. also the early freezing can occur if the temperature of the molten metal was lower than the required temperature for casting .
Answer:per minute from the pumping well, a steady state was attained in about 24 hr. The draw-down at a distance of 10 ft. was 5.5 ft. and at 25 ft. was 1.21 ft.
Ceramics are used to make cooktops if you look it up and according to my engineering and design class ceramics have high heat resistance and melting points, and make good electrical insulators.
