 
Riser Option 2-- Solidification Model |
The diagram shows the results of a
solidification analysis of Riser Option 2. What you see is a vertical
cut across the thickest, long section of the casting. The
colors show the temperature distribution in the casting after most of the cooling has
occurred -- blue is coldest, yellow is hottest.
With the taller riser centered over the thickest section of the
cleat, the hottest section (marked in yellow) is in the riser and would freeze last.
The casting itself would be sound with good metal feed during cooling, because the
riser is properly sized and positioned.
