Question: The casting below is a square plate. Each side is 1 0 in and the thickness, T , is 0 . 7 5 in .

The casting below is a square plate. Each side is 10 in and the thickness, T, is 0.75 in . If the maximum feeding distance for this riser is 4.5 times the thickness of the steel casting with the edge effect being 2.5 T and the riser effect equal to 2 T , will there be porosity in the solidified plate?
Prove your answer. If so, draw where in the plate casting would you expect the porosity to be located. Be specific. Given the fact that this steel is a long freezing range alloy, do you think that the porosity will be in the form of large centerline voids or dispersed microshrinkage? Explain. (8pts)
