b. Melting pot is an integral part of the machine.
c. Melting pot may be at any location.
d. There is no need of melting pot.
6. Why do casting processes generally produce minimal waste?
a. Because moulds are carefully designed.
b. Because excess metal can be melted down and used again.

Logical Questions
1 Manish owns a foundry. He wants to produce a casting as shown in the figure 1. Name the
particular element that he must use in preparation of moulding box to produce a hole (cavity) inside
the given casting. Write all functions of that particular element and give atleast four classification of
that element with figure.
 Figure 1
2 Write types of gating systems. If a simple small casting with a shallow height as shown in the figure
2 is to be produced, then which type of gating system should be used? Explain that gating system
with advantages-disadvantages of that particular gating system.

3 Explain a casting process in which a Wax pattern is used. (Here the wax disappears during the
process steps of that casting process.) Explain each steps with figure of that casting process
alongwith applications.
