Al-Si and Al-Si-Mg Cast Alloys Shrinkage Porosity Estimation

US A356 and US 413 cast aluminium alloys shrinkage characteristic have been discussed in the present study. Specific volume reduction leads to shrinkage in castings and it can be envisaged as a casting defect. Finite difference based casting process simulation software has been used to study the shr...
