    Shell Sand Have Much Lower Permeability Than Sand Used For Green-Sand Molding, Because A Sand of Much Smaller Grain Size Is Used For Shell Molding

    1. There are many casting processes because different materials require different processes, some processes are more labor or time intensive than others, and cost of the process and materials is a factor. For example, die casting produces parts most quickly but the dies are expensive to make. 2. Common ferrous alloys that are cast include cast iron, which is strong but brittle and used for items like engine blocks, and cast stainless steel which resists corrosion and is used for cutlery and surgical tools. 3. Problems with shell mold casting can result from issues controlling temperature in the curing furnace, such as uneven heating that causes uneven curing.

    1.

    Reasons for the large variety of casting processes that have been
    developed over the years.
    Different material needed different type of casting processes.
    Ex : Turbo charger rotor use investment casting it is a complex
    shape.
    Some process involves more labor and time than others.
    Ex : Investment casting is more time consuming than others as
    shell molds cannot be reused.
    Sand casting meanwhile is a quick process.
    All alloys are made using die casting because the process
    produce the highest rate.
    Cost of a product which consists of material, labor, and tooling.
    Ex : Die casting requires low labor cost.
    Cost of casting process
    Die material cost is expensive (die material and die making)
    Sand casting is least expensive than other processes.
    Melting and pouring of molten metal.
    2. Commonly cast ferrous alloys :
    - Cast iron
    Very strong but brittle. Used to manufacture items such as engine
    blocks and manhole covers.
    - Cast stainless steel
    Made up of Iron, nickel and chromium. Resists staining and
    corrosion and is therefore used for the likes of cutlery and surgical
    instrumentation.

    3. Shell sand have much lower permeability than sand used for green-sand
    molding, because a sand of much smaller grain size is used for shell molding
    In the production of shell molds and cores, lack of temperature control
    is often the most probable cause of problems. Unevenly cured cores or
    uneven core thicknesses are usually caused by furnace- or
    temperature-control related problems, such as:
    (a) Insufficient number of burners or inoperative burners in the curing
    furnace.
    (b) One-half of the core box is higher in temperature that the other half.
    (c) Mixture of low- and high-temperature melting-point sands that were
    improperly blended, thus causing different parts of the core to cure
    differently.
    (d) Temperature controllers not functioning properly.
    4. Benefits: Greater fluidity for detailed parts (in that the
    Molten metal will not solidify as quickly), a possible reduction in surface
    tension and in viscous friction in the mold, and slower cooling. The
    main drawbacks to heating the mold are that the mold may not have
    as high a strength at the elevated temperature, and the metal may be
    less viscid and becomes turbulent.
    5. Roll force, F, is influenced by the roll radius, strip width, draft (hence
    the roll-strip contact area), coefficient of friction, and the strength of
    the material at the rolling temperature. If the material is strain-rate
    sensitive (i.e., high m value), the rolling speed would also influence the
    roll force.
