Riser Design

Riser Design

The positioning and size of the riser/s plays a key role in controlling solidification in the casting.
Two riser designs were considered for the snubber arm:

Design A -- A center pour sprue with four risers feeding into the hub and fork sections.
Design B -- A large diameter pour cavity in the center of the mold that acts as the main riser.

Choose the riser design which will be more effective in producing directional solidification in the body of the casting.
