    Time: 3 hours Max Marks: 80
    Answer any FIVE Questions
    All Questions carry equal marks
    ?????

    1. (a) State and Explain the factors that determine the selection of a casting alloy
    and the casing process to be Employed. [8+8]
    (b) What are the important sections of a Foundry? Briefly Explain the activities
    in each of the sections.

    2. Explain in detail the properties desired for a good molding sand. [16]

    3. Compare precision investment casting and shell molding processes from the stand
    point of process, product and applications. [16]

    4. (a) For ease of molding it is decided to replace a spherical riser of diameter 100
    mm I by a cylindrical riser. Determine the size of the cylindrical riser that
    will have the identical solidification time. (Assume Blind risering).
    {Ratio of Height to Radius of Cylinder is 2 : 1} [6+5+5]
    (b) Compare the modulus method with that of CAINE’s method for fixing the
    riser dimensions.
    (c) What are the methods available to a casting designer to increase the casting
    yield -Explain them.

    5. (a) Derive an expression for critical nucleus size during nucleation. [8+8]
    (b) Distinguish between progressive solidification and directional solidification.

    6. (a) What is carbon equivalent? How is it computed? If a cast iron has 3 − 4%


    carbon and 2% silicon is it hypo or Hyper eutectic cast iron? Why? [7+9]
    (b) Explain the significance of the following factors in the operation of cupola.
    (i) Coke-bed height (ii) Blast pressure (iii) air flow rate.

    7. (a) What are the materials used; what are their specifications that are used in full
    mold process. [8+8]
    (b) What is vacuum molding. Explain the process in detail.

    8. What are the various casting defects that form due to incomplete / improper feed-
    ing? Explain them with suitable figures and suggest suitable remedial measures.
