b) 200°F – 450°F
c) 250°F – 550°F
d) 300°F – 650°F
View Answer
Explanation: To convert green sand into dry sand, the green sands are heated to a fairly good amount of temperature. This temperature would range in between the ranges of 300°F to 650°F.
4. A skin dried mold is dried up to what depth?
a) 4mm – 12mm
b) 5mm – 19mm
c) 6mm – 25mm
d) 7mm – 23mm
View Answer
Explanation: A skin dried mold, is dried only up to a depth from 6mm to 25mm. These molds are specifically dried only up to this depth, with an intention that, the mold may possess strength.
