Question

Co2 moulding process is an ideal process, where speed and flexibility is the prime requirement.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in my homework.

Question is taken from CO2 Process in chapter Special Casting Techniques of Casting-Forming-Welding I

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(a) True

Explanation: The CO2 molding process is a type of sand casting process in which carbon dioxide gas is passed through a sand mixture that contains sodium silicate binder. This process is known for its speed and flexibility, as it allows for quick mold production and is suitable for both small and medium production runs. It is particularly advantageous for making complex shapes with good dimensional accuracy. Therefore, the statement that the CO2 molding process is ideal where speed and flexibility are prime requirements is true.
