What is a choke and how does its placement affect metal flow?
What features can be incorporated into the gating system to aid in trapping dross and loose mold material that is flowing with the molten metal?
What features of the metal being cast tend to influence whether the gating system is designed to minimize turbulence and reduce dross, or promote rapid filling to minimize temperature loss?
What are the three stages of contraction or shrinkage as a liquid is converted into a finished casting?
Why is it more difficult to prevent shrinkage voids from forming in metals or alloys with large freezing ranges?
What type of flaws or defects form during the cooling of an already-solidified casting?
