Correct answer- d) All of the above

2. Use of mold wash in sand moulding increases
a) Surface finish
b) penetration
c) Tolerance
d) Accuracy

Correct answer- a) Surface finish

3. Core for metallic mould is made of
a) Wood
b) Plastic
c) Metal
d) Sand

Correct answer- d) Sand

4. Chaplets are generally made of
a) Moulding sand
b) Core sand
c) Wood
d) Metal

Correct answer- d) Metal

5. Pouring basin in the gating system does not act as
a) Reservoir of the molten metal
b) Filter for the molten metal
c) Feeder of molten metal to sprue

 6. If using 1.6 kg molten metal, final casting of 800 g is obtained then yield (%) of the
casting process will be
a) 2
b) 0.5
c) 800
d) 1.28

Correct answer- b) 0.5

7. For making a hole in aluminium casting (density 0.0265 N/cm3), a core of 200 mm
diameter and 800 mm length is used. Consider value of core density is 0.01650 N/cm3.
The minimum core print area (in cm2) required will be
a) 7 to 8
b) 50-60
c) 70-80
d) 700-800

Correct answer- c) 70-80

Density of cast metal, 𝜌 = 0.0265 N/cm3

Density of core material, 𝑑 = 0.0165 N/cm3
𝜋 𝜋
Volume of the core, V = 4 𝑑 2 ℎ = 4 × 202 × 80 = 25120 𝑐𝑚3
Buoyancy force = 𝑉(𝜌 − 𝑑) = 21520 (0.0265 − 0.0165) = 251.2 N
Supported load by core print = 3.5×Ac (where Ac is in cm2)

Buoyancy force 251.2

Minimum core print area required = = = 𝟕𝟏. 𝟕𝟕 𝒄𝒎𝟐
3.5 3.5

Range- 70-80 cm2

9. High thermal expansion coefficient of metal like cast Al alloys show
a) Less yield
b) More yield
c) Same yield
 d) All of the above

Correct answer- a) Less yield

10. Molten metal of riser should solidify at
a) First
b) Last
c) Same as casting in mould
