Option B - Bowl Oriented Down

  • In Option B the bowl is oriented with the rim down in the drag and formed by a core sitting in the base of the  drag mold.

  • If inclusions or voids form, they will segregate in the top of the casting in the top plate. The rim and interior of the bowl will be free of inclusions and will machine cleanly.

    ==> In addition, the cores for the bowl and the rib pockets will be positioned securely in the drag mold.

For these reasons, Option B is the best mold design.
