Cooling and Solidification topics include: Solidification rate and mechanism, large casting solidification in insulating mould, solidification with predominant interface resistance and constant surface temperature, riser placement and residual stress. Casting solidification is the process of transforming a liquid phase into a solid phase. The casting industry uses this process to transform certain materials from a liquid state to a solid state.  In the continuous casting process, liquid metal is poured into a mold with a uniform cross section. The outside of the mold is cooled, and the... Show more
