Below is a gating system for an aluminum AA356 casting that weighs 241 bs . The gating system will be as shown below with a round sprue and a gating ratio of 1:4:4. If the effective sprue height is 12 in , determine the cross sectional areas of the gating system (runner(s) and gate(s) sprue) necessary to pour this casting. Assume rectangular cross sections for the runner(s) and gates. If the width to the thickness ratio is 1:2 for runners and gates, what will be the dimensions of each? (10pts)
