A cast iron component (as shown in the figure below) is required to be cast by sand
casting. The flask dimensions is 320320200mm3. Density of cast iron =7.16
gcm3. The density of sand is 1.65gcm3
Calculate the metallostatic force and the weight needed to prevent the generated
buoyancy force from lifting up the upper flask. (Assume that the parting line is
located 25 mm above the base of the pattern shown in the figure below).
A cast iron component ( as shown in the figure
