What should be the value of biot number (Bi) for chill mould castings?(a) Less than 1(b) Greater than 1(c) Greater than 5(d) Greater than 11I got this question in an online interview.The above asked question is from Rate of Solidification topic in portion Cooling and Solidification of Casting-Forming-Welding I

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) Less than 1

The explanation is: CHILL mould castings use a massive metal mould with a large THERMAL capacity or water cooled metal mould, so that biot number (BI) is always less than 1. When the melt is poured in at a temperature above its melting temperature (Tm), it first COOLS and then begins solidification when T = Tm.
