 
Riser Option 1- Solidification Model |
The lower diagram shows the results
of a solidification analysis of Riser Option 1. What you see is a
vertical cut across the thickest, long section of the casting with the thick boss section
to the right. The colors show the temperature distribution in the casting after
solidification has finished -- blue is coldest (1200F), yellow is
hottest (2600F)
The yellow section (the hottest section) is down in the thick section of the casting
and would freeze last, producing shrinkage porosity in the body.
The riser is not tall enough nor positioned correctly to provide enough feed metal into
the thick section of the casting.
