Weight is added to two halves of a mold (top and bottom layer)to prevent them from separating due to pressure exerted by moltenmetal (buoyancy) Consider a solid cylindrical steel casting, 5inches in diameter and 10 inches high , which is produced by sandcasting Each part of the mold is 20 inches by 20 inches and 15inches deep The parting line is in the middle of the part.
Estimate the clamping force required. Assume that the moltenmetal has a density of 500 lb/ft3 and that the sand has a densityof 100 lb/n Assume a density for the molten metal of 500 lb/ft³
