Question

Sand with high bond strength can lessen the amount of moisture in mould of a mechanized foundry.

(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question in unit test.

My question comes from Processing Steps in Mechanized Foundry topic in section Foundry Mechanizations of Casting-Forming-Welding I

Answer 1

The correct option is (a) True

Easiest explanation: In the mechanized foundry, use of sand with more bond strength can lessen the moisture content in the mould mixture, or additional sand storage capacity can also enable the sand to cool that might eliminate the moisture problem in the mould. Moisture content should be kept balanced in mould making process.
