Steel Castings Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Pouring time = (2.4335-0.3953*log10(Mass of casting))*sqrt(Mass of casting)
t_pt = (2.4335-0.3953*log10(W))*sqrt(W)
This formula uses 2 Functions, 2 Variables

Functions Used

log10 - The common logarithm, also known as the base-10 logarithm or the decimal logarithm, is a mathematical function that is the inverse of the exponential function., log10(Number)
sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Pouring time - (Measured in Second) - Pouring time is the time for complete filling of a mould.
Mass of casting - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of casting is the mass of casting to be prepared or required.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass of casting: 36.8 Kilogram --> 36.8 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_pt = (2.4335-0.3953*log10(W))*sqrt(W) --> (2.4335-0.3953*log10(36.8))*sqrt(36.8)

Evaluating ... ...

t_pt = 11.0074254879502

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

11.0074254879502 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

11.0074254879502 ≈ 11.00743 Second <-- Pouring time

Grey Cast Iron, Mass less than 450 kg

Go Pouring time = (Fluidity of iron/40)*(1.41+(Average thickness of section/14.59))*sqrt(Mass of casting)

Castings above 450 kg and up to 1000 kg

Go Pouring time = Empirical constant 4*(Total mass of metal poured in mould*Average thickness of section)^(1/3)

Steel Castings

Go Pouring time = (2.4335-0.3953*log10(Mass of casting))*sqrt(Mass of casting)

Grey Cast Iron, Mass greater than 450 kg

Go Pouring time = (Fluidity of iron/40)*(1.236+(Average section thickness/16.65))*(Mass of casting)^(1/3)

Shell-moulded Ductile Iron (vertical pouring)

Go Pouring time = Empirical constant 1*sqrt(Mass of casting)

Intricately Shaped Thin-walled Castings of Mass up to 450 kg

Go Pouring time = Empirical constant 3*(Total mass of metal poured in mould)^(1/3)

Copper Alloy Castings

Go Pouring time = Empirical constant 2*(Mass of casting)^(1/3)

Steel Castings Formula

Pouring time = (2.4335-0.3953*log10(Mass of casting))*sqrt(Mass of casting)
t_pt = (2.4335-0.3953*log10(W))*sqrt(W)

What is pouring time?

The time for complete filling of a mould is termed pouring time, is a very important criterion for design.Too long a pouring time requires a higher pouring temperature and too less a pouring time means turbulent flow in the mould, which makes the casting defect-prone. There is thus an optimum pouring time for any given casting.
The pouring time depends on the casting materials, complexity of the casting, section thickness and casting size. The various relations used are not theoretically obtained but established generally by the practice at various foundries and by experimenters.

How to Calculate Steel Castings?

Steel Castings calculator uses Pouring time = (2.4335-0.3953*log10(Mass of casting))*sqrt(Mass of casting) to calculate the Pouring time, The Steel Castings formula is defined as the time taken to completely fill the mould by the molten steels during casting. Pouring time is denoted by t_pt symbol.
