Question

The ________ pattern could have the entire assembly of runner and gates integrated in it.

(a) Single piece

(b) Match plate

(c) Two piece

(d) Gated Pattern

I have been asked this question in an interview for job.

I need to ask this question from Types of Patterns topic in section Pattern Materials & Moulding Sand Tests of Foundry and Forging

Answer 1

Correct choice is (d) Gated Pattern

Best explanation: The gated pattern is an improvement in the single piece pattern where the gating and the runner system are integral with the pattern. This would eliminate the hand cutting of the runners and gates and helps in improving the productivity of the molder.
