Q1:

Uniform ramming of sand in green sand moulding process leads to

A reduced chance of gas porosity.

B greater dimensional stability of the casting.

C uniform flow of molten metal into the mould cavity.

D less sand expansion type of casting defect.

ANS:B - greater dimensional stability of the casting.

Uniform ramming of sand in green sand molding process leads to greater dimensional stability of the casting. Uniform ramming of sand ensures consistent density and compaction throughout the mold, which helps in maintaining the shape and dimensions of the casting during the pouring and solidification process. Inconsistent compaction can lead to variations in mold density, resulting in dimensional inaccuracies and defects in the final casting. Therefore, uniform ramming is essential for achieving precise and consistent casting dimensions.
