Question

(c) Sand molding

(d) Core molding

The question was posed to me in an interview for job.

The query is from Moulding Machines topic in section Moulding Machines & Special Moulding Processes of Foundry and Forging

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) Machine molding

The best I can explain: Molding machines have patterns fixed on them which have inbuilt gating system and runner, gate etc that are mounted on the match plate itself. They perform their action rapidly and more accurately than the other types of molding.
