Preparation
ð
The
following Sections from the text: The introduction to Chapter 10 with the
exception Figure 10.1 will help give a big picture of casting. How casting fits
in to the other “solidification processes” as shown in Figure 10.1 is not
relevant. Section 10.1 extends this introduction. Please limit your further
reading in Chapter 10 to the description of equation 10.1 shown on page 235,
ignore the example as the calculation shows unacceptable problem solving, and
Section 10.3.3 – Shrinkage. Chapter 11 up to and including Section 11.1.2
should be read. This will put sand casting in perspective.
ð
The
following video from the text provides a great examples of: Sand
Casting . As you view these I suggest you elaborate on the notes you took
from the reading.
ð
The
Casting Experiences Provided for Freshmen at
Kettering. Focus not only on how the processes relate to casting in general,
but on the details of the procedures. You may want to compare these to your
notes from the reading and the videos.
