Question

The rate at which this technique can be performed is related to a constant symbolized uppercase B with units of minutes per square inch by Chvorinov’s rule. A process important in this technique may be promoted by the placement of chromite or zircon chills. When performing this technique, an alpha to beta inversion that occurs at 573 degrees Celsius causes a defect called “finning” or “veining.” A mixture of sand, clay, and sludge called (*) green sand is used to create the cope and drag used in this technique. A form of this technique is performed by a device consisting of a unit that injects an elastomer into a clamping unit. (10[1])In this technique, a liquid is poured through a sprue by a crucible into a 3D cavity that is then (10[1])cooled. Metal ingots are produced via, for 10 points, what manufacturing process in which molten metal is shaped by a negative impression? ■END■
