BMP ASSIGNMENT

Branch: Mechanical Engineering, Section: B, Semester: 4th


DATE: 23/04/2026
Submission deadline: 5th May 2026
Short questions
1. Sketch the cross-section of a sand mould that is ready for pouring and label the various
important parts.
2. Why casting process is preferred than other processes?
3. Discuss the consequences of pouring molten metal into the mould cavity at a rapid and
slower rate.
4. Explain the function of chills and chaplets in casting.
5. Write the use of cope and drag pattern.
6. How are moulding sands classified?
7. Differentiate pressurized and unpressurized gating systems.
8. What is draft allowance? How is it provided for patterns?
9. Imagine a gating system without a riser. How it will affect the casting?
10. Write down the basic concept of Directional and Progressive solidification?
11. Why flux is added in the welding processes?

Long questions (type 1)


1. Name the pattern allowances which can be quantitatively specified. Write a brief note
on each of them.
2. Discuss the composition of molding sand and the role of binders and additives in the
molding process.
3. Explain different types of pattern allowances and their purposes with suitable examples.
4. With a neat sketch, describe the operation of a cupola furnace.
5. Explain with a neat sketch die casting with relative advantages and disadvantages.
6. What will be the solidification time for a 1100 mm diameter and 33 mm thick casting
of aluminium if the mould constant is 2.2 sec/mm2?
7. Describe the TIG welding process and list its advantages over MIG welding.
8. Distinguish between brazing and soldering from the point of view of the filler metals
used, applications, and the strength of the joint obtained.
9. Explain the process of resistance welding, their types and provide the advantages and
limitations associated with them.
Long question (type 2)
10. Discuss the common welding defects, their causes, and methods to prevent them. How
can destructive and non-destructive testing be used to ensure weld quality?
11. What are the defects those are generally found in casting and welding? Explain them
with their cause and remedies.
