Briefly describe with neat sketches, the processes and applications of

Die casting

Centrifugal casting.

2. Calculate the size of a cylindrical riser with i h ratio necessary to feed a steel slab casting 25 x 25 x 5 cm^3. Assume the volume shrinkage on solidification is for steel and that the volume of riser is three times that dictated by shrinkage consideration alone.

Describe the desirable properties of a mould sand and state what defects can arise due to absence/lack of these desirable properties. Also mention other casting defects possible.

Sketch and briefly describe the working of Cupola furnace.

Discuss the various defects in deep drawing operation. Also list the various factors on which these defects depend.

Briefly describe the process for bending a strip making allowance for its spring back.
