5 Questions
What is the purpose of the pouring basin in the gating system?
It helps to feed the molten metal initially through the path of gating system to mold cavity and maintains the required rate of liquid metal flow.
How is the sprue made and where is it connected?
The sprue is made using a tapered sprue pin in the cope and is connected at the bottom of the pouring basin.
What is the purpose of the runner in the gating system?
The runner helps to feed molten metal without turbulence to the runner, which in turn reaches the mold cavity through the gate.
What is the function of the skim bob in the runner?
The skim bob collects impurities from the molten metal and prevents them from reaching the mold cavity.
How does the pouring basin make it easier for the ladle operator?
It makes it easier for the ladle operator to direct the flow of molten metal from the crucible to the pouring basin and sprue.
