Fig. 4 Smaller electrode diameter to concentrate welding zone closer to a thinner section More

Fig. 32 The ideal gating area at the center of this casting permitted walls thinner than usually recommended in “RH” Monel investment castings. More

Fig. 16 Risering of isolated heavy sections joined by a thinner section to minimize shrinkage and number of risers. (a) Workpiece with no risers. (b) Riser added to one side. (c) Risers located on both ends. (d) Chill applied to one end and riser to other end. (e) Riser used on one end More

Fig. 22 In this gear design, the tooth area is much thinner than the hub. Lightening the hub, as shown in phantom, solved heat treating problems and reduced scrap from 28% to less than 1%. More

Fig. 3 Divergent/convergent tooling. (a) Divergent. Mandrel moves up for a thinner parison and down for a thicker parison; used for large parisons. (b) Convergent. Mandrel moves down for a thinner parison and up for a thicker parison; used for small parisons. More
