(a) True

(b) False

I got this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

My question is based upon Forces Acting on Cores and Mold topic in portion Mold and Mold Making of Casting-Forming-Welding I

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

Easiest explanation: In general, the strength of the green sand core is less. So it cannot be used in the production of castings with deep or complex features, means it is normally used for producing the shallow features in the casting components. Because when the castings are made with deeper features, then the cores will have tendency to get break. So for limited features, green sand cores are preferred.
