A reduced metal section at the casting joint makes easy removal of gates and risers from the castings. Correct Answer True

Removal of gates and risers can be simplified by providing a reduced metal section at the casting joint, so for brittle materials such as grey cast iron, the gates can easily be broken by hitting with a hammer. The gates and risers can be removed by hammering, chipping, hack sawing, abrasive cutoff etc.
