Summary

Processes taking place in a solidifying and cooling-down casting
- definition of the physical magnitudes and terms
- characteristics of heat-flow rates in a casting
- transfer of heat in a solidifying casting and in a sand mould
- determination of the time intervals of solidification of castings
- modelling of thermal processes at solidification and cooling-down of castings
- solidification of castings in metallic moulds, origination of gap between
casting and mould
- shrinkage of metals and alloys
- directional solidification
- theoretical and experimental analysis of risering
- elimination of the thermal nodal sites in castings
- filtering of melt through a double-phase zone
- segregation and liquation
- cooling-down intervals of castings
- shrinkage of castings
- stress in a casting
- consequences of stress in the castings.
