What is the ratio of width to the depth of in-gates in general?(a) 1:2(b) 1:1(c) 4:1(d) 2:7I have been asked this question in an international level competition.I need to ask this question from Gating Design in section Pattern and Mould, Principles of Gating & Risering of Casting-Forming-Welding I

Answer»

Right answer is (c) 4:1

For explanation I WOULD say: In-gates are generally made WIDER compared to the depth, up to a ratio of 4. This facilitates in the severing of gating from the casting after solidification. And it reduces the actual connection between the in-gate and the CASTINGS so that the REMOVAL of the gating is simplified.
