Question

In squeeze casting, die preheating temperature is maintained within close limits and very precise.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me during an interview for a job.

This is a very interesting question from Squeeze Casting in portion Special Casting Techniques of Casting-Forming-Welding I

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) True

To explain: In squeeze casting, the die temperature has to be monitored within close limits, because too low preheating temperature of die may result in quick solidification and cold laps in the castings. And too high temperature may cause the surface defects and welding of the die with casting.
