State whether the following is true or false.
Casting rate can be increased by raising the solids content of a well-deflocculated slip.

  • A.False
  • B.True only at large scales
  • C.False only at small scales
  • D.True

Answer: D

Correct answer: True

A higher solids content means less water to remove for the same wall thickness, so the cast builds faster. The proviso matters: it is only achievable with good deflocculation, since without it a concentrated slip becomes too viscous to pour or to fill fine detail. Raising solids and holding viscosity down is the whole purpose of the deflocculant.
