Casting, Forming & Welding I MCQ

Q:

Which of the following sequence is in the correct order to prepare a cast using the sand casting method?
[1] Mould making [2] Clamping [3] Pouring [4] Cooling [5] Trimming [6] Removal

A) 1,3,2,4,6,5 B) 2,1,3,4,5,6
C) 1,2,3,4,5,6 D) 1,2,3,4,6,5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1,2,3,4,6,5

Explanation: For a proper casting to be carried out, the correct order in which processes are to be executed out starts with mould making then clamping it then pouring the metal then cooling then removing it and at last trimming it or providing machining.

Q:

Runners, gates and risers are attached to the pattern to __________

A) Provide ease of cooling B) Provide feed to the molten material
C) Provide design to the casting D) Enhance the finishing of the casting
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Provide feed to the molten material

Explanation: These external elements are added to the pattern or mould cavity to enhance the flow of molten metal, hence, to enhance the casting process.

Q:

The life of a pattern is most likely to depend upon which of the following term?

A) Number of castings produced B) Type of cooling rate of the casting
C) Size of the casting D) Size of the pattern
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Number of castings produced

Explanation: Obviously, the more casting produced means more exposure of the pattern to the elevated temperature of molten metals and hence, slowly causing distortion to the sand grains as well as the pattern material.

Q:

The quality of the final product is not dependent on _______________

A) Method of withdrawal of pattern B) Allowance provided to the pattern
C) The complexity of the casting D) The metal used in Casting
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) The metal used in Casting

Explanation: Metal used in casting is a concern till its viscosity affect the flow or occupation to the cavity. This does not affect the final product physically, once the metal has solidified.

Q:

The function of a gated pattern is ___________

A) To produce small castings in mass production B) To create castings of a very heavy mass
C) To create castings containing complex design D) To create symmetrical castings
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) To produce small castings in mass production

Explanation: Gated pattern manufactures huge no. of products using single time casting using a common gating inlet system. Hence, the casting needs to be small and simple and is only justified for mass production, as the pattern is used for 1-2 times only.

Q:

A draft allowance is provided to ___________

A) All linear faces B) Only the interior dimensions
C) Only the exterior dimensions D) Only the dimensions that are perpendicular to the parting plane
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Only the dimensions that are perpendicular to the parting plane

Explanation: The draft allowance is used for those dimensions which are perpendicular to the parting plane, to give out a tapered face which is machined later.

Q:

Which of the following carries the mould cavity where the metal is to be poured?

A) Casting B) Pattern
C) Sand D) Core
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Pattern

Explanation: For casting to be made, the pattern is filled with the molten material and then it is allowed to be solidified, using proper cooling rates before it is extracted out.
