Introduction “From a little spark may burst a flame” by Dante Alighieri, Rightly said that a spark is required to start a flame and in an automobile, since there is a conversion of chemical energy (i.e. air-fuel mixture) into mechanical energy i.e. (crankshaft rotation) spark is essential which is responsible for the combustion, but from […]

The pattern is the replica of the device which is the output of the casting process. This when molded in sand forms mold. After filling the mold with the molten metal there is a formation of casting. Patterns play a very important role in casting as they decide the quality as well as perfection in

During the casting of metals in the foundry shop we use sand for the preparation of mould. It is the moulding sand properties which improves the quality of the casting metal. If sand of suitable property is chosen, then it greatly minimises the casting defects that may be produced during the mould preparation and casting.

What is Casting Defects? It is an unwanted irregularities that appear in the casting during metal casting process. There is various reason or sources which is responsible for the defects in the cast metal. Here in this section we will discuss all the major types of casting defects. Some of the defects produced may be

What is Boyle’s Law? This law was established by Robert Boyle in 1662. At constant temperature, the absolute pressure of a given mass of a perfect gas is inversely proportional to its volume. Have you understand something from this? If not than let’s we understand what this statement implies. It means that if we have

Adiabatic process is a process in which there is no exchange of heat takes place from the working substance to the surrounding during its expansion or compression. This is possible when the working system is made thermally insulated, that is no heat can leave or enters it during the process. So we can say that
