Progressive solidification is better than the directional solidification and it is independent to the geometry of mould.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.Query is from Directional Solidification in portion Pattern and Mould, Principles of Gating & Risering of Casting-Forming-Welding I

Answer»

The correct OPTION is (b) False

To explain: Solidification is GREATLY affected by the geometrical shape of the mould cavity; variation in geometry causes the change in heat flow which leads to altering of solidification. In the condition of progressive solidification, there is ALWAYS a chance of shrinkage defects. So it cannot be better than DIRECTIONAL solidification.
