2 15. Compare capabilities of sand casting and investment casting in context of weight (size), as cast dimensional accuracy, economic quantity. Hence bring out the applications of both processes. GTU Paper Analysis 16. Explain how and why chills improve the effective feeding distance in castings What is gating ratio? What is pressurized and non-pressurized gating system? What type 4 of gating ratio should be chosen for Aluminum alloys? For steels? Why? 18. Explain principle of centrifugal casting process, its capabilities and applications. How the impurities are taken care of? 19. Explain Blow holes, Misrun & Warpage in terms of castings Explain Precision Investment Casting with Figure. Example 1.
