3. In the green sand moulding of steel casting, what is the dextrine percentage composition?
a) 0.5%
b) 1.5%
c) 2.5%
d) 3.5%
Explanation: In green sand mouldings of steel castings, the dextrine percentage composition is calculated to be 0.5% and the bentonite percentage in the same green sand is higher than dextrin by around 3%.
4. In the green sand moulding of steel casting, what is the moisture percentage composition?
a) 1% – 2%
b) 2% – 3%
c) 3% -4%
d) 4% – 5%
Explanation: In green sand mouldings of steel castings, the moisture percentage composition is calculated to be 3%- 4% and the amount of bentonite present in the same green sand is around 3.5%.
5. In dry sand moulding of steel casting, what is the bentonite percentage composition?
a) 1%
b) 2%
c) 4%
d) 5%
Explanation: In dry sand mouldings of steel castings, the bentonite percentage composition is calculated to be 5% and in green sand, the bentonite percentage is calculated to be 3.5%.
6. In dry sand moulding of steel casting, what is the dextrine percentage composition?
a) 0.5%
b) 1.5%
c) 2.5%
d) 3.5%
Explanation: In dry sand mouldings of steel castings, the dextrine percentage composition is calculated to be 0.5%. In green sands, the dextrin content is also 0.5%, which is in green sand and in dry sand, the percentage of dextrine is same.
