Question 37
Open questionMENAT2 marksNeeds review
A cast product of a particular material has dimensions 75 mm × 125 mm × 20 mm. The total solidification time for the cast product is found to be 2.0 minutes as calculated using Chvorinov’s rule having the index,
= 2. If under the identical casting conditions, the cast product shape is changed to a cylinder having diameter = 50 mm and height = 50 mm, the total solidification time will be ____________ minutes (round off to two decimal places).Log in to check the answer

A surface grinding operation has been performed on a Cast Iron plate having dimensions 300 mm (length) × 10 mm (width) × 50 mm (height). The grinding was performed using an alumina wheel having a wheel diameter of 150 mm and wheel width of 12 mm. The grinding velocity used is 40 m/s, table speed is 5 m/min, depth of cut per pass is 50 μm and the number of grinding passes is 20. The average tangential and average normal force for each pass is found to be 40 N and 60 N respectively. The value of the specific grinding energy under the aforesaid grinding conditions is ____________ J/mm³ (round off to one decimal place).
