Metal casting:
Consider the casting pattern shown in the figure (dimensions in cm). The metal casted is steel (7200
kg/m3 ). Calculate the minimum mass (kg) of the cope that is required to avoid it from floating.
We can calculate the mass whose weight equals the buoyancy net force that the liquid applies on the
cope:

mmin = = pdA = ( p1 A1 + p2 A2 ) = ρ (z1 A1 + z2 A2 ) =

= 7200 (0.34 × 0.11 + 0.20 × 0.19) = 542.67 kg

Metal rolling:
A 25 cm wide, 2 cm thickness brass strip must be rolled to a thickness of 16 cm in a single pass The
available rolling machine has a maximum power of 300 kW, and has 300 mm diameter rolls, which

can rotate at two speeds, 100 and 200 RPM. Determine if this process can be performed with the pro-
posed machine and the speed.
Solution:
The average stress can be determined from the maximum deformation required:
h0 1
emax = log = 0.223 −→ Yavg = (400 + 500) = 450 MPa
hf 2
The maximum speed that allows this process can be obtaned by isolating ω from the expression of
the requried power, this is:
The process cannot be performed with this machine, as the two available speeds would require a
power higher than available.

Metal forging:
A solid cylinder of aluminium (K=180MPa, n=0.2) with 25mm diameter and 30mm height is open-
forged to reduce its height to 50%. The available press can generate 200kN. The friction coefficient is

0.3. Is it possible to perform the forge? Why? In case it is not, indicate how much the friction coeffi-
cient must be reduced. Note: You can neglect the barreling effects (workpiece is always a cylinder).
Solution:
The maximum force that the press can apply must be enough to reach the force required at the end
of the stroke, this is:

H0
R f = R0 = 17.7 mm
Hf
Substituting, we obtain µ ≤ 0.277, and thus the process cannot be performed. The friction coefficient
must be reduced from 0.3 to 0.277 (7.6 % reduction).
