The total solidification times of three casting shapes are to be compared: (a) a sphere with diameter = 10 cm, (2) a cylinder with diameter and length both = 10 cm and (3) a cube with each side = 10 cm. The same casting alloy is used in the three cases. (a) Determine the relative solidification time for each geometry. (b) Based on the results of part (a), which geometric element would make the best riser? (c) If Cm = 3.5 min/cm2 in Chvorinov’s Rule, compute the total solidification time for each casting.
