CHAPTER 11 Fundamentals of Casting Review Questions 1. Almost every manufactured product goes through the sequence of activities that involves: (1) design, (2) material selection, (3) process selection, (4) manufacture, (5) inspection and evaluation, and (6) feedback. 2. Materials processing is the science and technology by which a material is converted into a useful shape with a structure and properties that are optimized for the intended service environment. More loosely, processing is all that is done to convert stuff into things. 3. The five basic families of shape production processes are: (1) Casting, (2) Material removal, (3) Deformation processes, (4) Consolidation processes, and (5) Additive manufacturing, which includes direct-digital manufacturing. Casting processes can produce extremely complex shapes, but may have defects related to shrinkage and porosity. Material removal processes can have outstanding precision, but generate scrap as the material is cut away. Deformation processes can offer high rates of production, but require powerful equipment and dedicated tools or dies. Consolidation processes can produce large or complex shapes, but the joints may possess properties that are different from the base material. Additive manufacturing eliminates the need for part-specific tooling, but takes longer time to produce a part. 4. Cast parts can range in size from a fraction of an inch and a fraction of an ounce to over 30 feet and many tons. Moreover, casting can incorporate complex shapes, hollow sections or internal cavities, and irregular curved surfaces. 5. Some of the various mold materials used in casting include sand, metal and a variety of ceramics. The molten material can be introduced to the mold by gravity, vacuum , low pressure and high pressure. 6. In the single-use molding processes, a new mold must be made for each casting.
