Heating a metal from room temperature to pouring temperature in a casting operation depends on all of the following properties except which one:
A)density
B)heat of fusion
C)melting temperature
D)specific heat
E)thermal expansion

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The properties that affect the heating of a metal from room temperature to pouring temperature in a casting operation include density, heat of fusion, melting temperature, and specific heat. These properties influence the amount of energy required to heat the metal to its melting point and change its phase from solid to liquid. Thermal expansion, however, is related to the change in volume of the metal as it is heated, but does not directly influence the energy required to heat the metal to its pouring temperature.
