Solidification time

1. A spherical drop of molten metal of radius 2 mm was found to solidify in 10 seconds. A


similar drop of radius 4 mm would solidify in: (40 sec)

2. In the casting of steel under certain mold conditions, the mold constant in Chvorinov's
rule is known to be 4.0 min/cm2, based on previous experience. The casting is a flat plate
whose length = 30 cm, width = 10 cm, and thickness = 20 mm. Determine how long it
will take for the casting to solidify. (2.49 min)

3. In casting experiments performed using a certain alloy and type of sand mold, it took 155
sec for a cube-shaped casting to solidify. The cube was 50 mm on a side.
(a) Determine the value of the mold constant in Chvorinov's rule.
(b) If the same alloy and mold type were used, find the total solidification time for a
cylindrical casting in which the diameter = 30 mm and length = 50 mm. (2.232
s/mm2, 1.24 min)

4. A cube and a sphere made of cast iron (each of volume 1000 cm3) were cast under
identical conditions. The time taken for solidifying the cube was 4 sec. The solidification
time (in sec) for the sphere is: (6 to 6.3)

5. Ratio of solidification time of a cylindrical casting (height = radius) to that of a cubic


casting of side two times the height of cylindrical casting is: (0.5 to 0.6)

6. A cylindrical-shaped part is to be cast out of aluminum. The radius of the cylinder r = 250
mm and its thickness h= 20 mm. If the mold constant Cm = 2.0 sec/mm2 in Chvorinov's
Rule, how long will it take the casting to solidify? (2.86 min)

7. Two castings of the same metal have the same surface area. One casting is in the form of
a sphere and the other is a cube. What is the ratio of the solidification time for the sphere
to that of the cube? (6/π)

8. In casting experiments performed using a certain alloy and type of sand mold, it took 155
sec for a cube-shaped casting to solidify. The cube side was 50 mm. Using Chvorinov's
rule with n = 2,
a. Determine the value of the mold constant.
b. If the same alloy and mold type were used, find the total solidification time for a
cylindrical casting in which the diameter = 30 mm and length = 50 mm

1
9. A cylinder with a diameter of 1 in. and height of 3 in. solidifies in three minutes in a sand
casting operation. What is the solidification time if the cylinder height is doubled? What
is the time if the diameter is doubled?

10. If the surface area of sphere and cube in casting are the same, which will solidify faster?
