1- Describe the working process during experiment in sufficient details:

Projection is a fundamental modern interaction with a wide range of

use. The goal of this strategy is to generate feature structures
By discharging liquid metal into a mold of predetermined shape, then
Let it freeze. This gives us the specific shape we want.
2- Identify materials and equipment used in this experiment:

1. The Equipment :
a. Mold Material (Sand)
b. Flask (Frame)
c. Bonding agent to hold the flask
d. Gating bar
e. Sieve
f. Oven to melt the metal
g. Tongs and different tools
2. The Materials:
a. The Metal
b. Water
c. Casting Sand
d. Chalk
3- Discuss the role of nucleation in the solidification of metal alloy:
To start, the sand changed into geared up by way of adding a constrained
quantity of water to make it firmer.
We prepared it after that. In the meantime, the metal become condensing at
650-670 tiers inside the
Oven. We fill the bottom part of the cup with sand and positioned the cast
structure on top of it
Facedown. We set the development (which is a Petra-shaped version
manufactured from aluminum
From earlier projecting errands), sprinkle a bit chalk on top of it to assist with
showing all of the
Features of the aspect after the approach is completed, and pass over the cycle
on the upper
Aspect. We void fluid metallic into the structure depression, that's then taken
out, and we open
The access and leave areas, in addition to integrating the special aspects. For the
reason that excessive temperature fluid steel will technique gases whilst coming
into and leaving the runner
Inferable from heat trouble and get in touch with with the sand, we make small
openings for the
Gas to move away. This gasoline will affect a conclusive end result. Therefore,
we drill unfathomably
Little openings to decrease the impact as a good deal as viable. The metal is in
like way taken out
From the oven and poured from the preheater. The cast will be required out
following 20 mins
Of cooling, and our aspect will equipped for refine
4- List three of the possible product defects in casting:

In the solidifying of metals and blends, nucleation is colossal in the light of fact
that it assists with the
Headway of minimum solid strong debris within the liquid, which lead to jewels.
As a
Result, grains are made. Because the liquid sets, the grains increase, achieving a
big range
Grains and grain limits. Likewise, the metal's fortitude is extended at this factor
its
Malleability is logical diminished

5- Mention three advantages of sand casting:

1) Low tooling cost
2) More flexibility with size, shapes and weights
3) Alloy friendly – can be used with almost any type
