In casting design, concave junctions are generally added to avoid the effect of sharp corners in the casting.
View Answer Explanation
In pattern fillets, the size of a fillet is usually determined by its width.
A very large fillet in casting design also may cause shrinkage defects in the casting.
Sharp internal corner of the casting also causes the misrun defect in the casting.
To avoid sharp external corners in casting design, rounding of external edges is done in pattern making that termed as radii.
Finishing allowance to a pattern is generally provided to avoid various defects in the casting.
Finishing also includes removal of scales from the surface of the casting.
Subsequent machining for products finishing does not require extra material to the metal casting, as it removes negligible amount of material from the casting.
Which of the following ranges show the approx range of finishing depth (in mm) required for finished casting?
For finishing allowance, great care is taken while adding extra material to the molten metal.
Which of the following parts is used to keep the casting in for reducing the finishing allowance?
