A Design Study in Steel - Spokane Industries Steel Snubber Arm

Design A -- Four Risers on the Hubs and Forks

The hub and fork sections on the two ends of the snubber arm are not major thermal masses.  Solidification will naturally start at those two ends and then progress inwards to the center of the bar section.

Risers on the two far sections would not be feeding into the heavier center section and would work against the natural directional solidification.

Risers on the two end sections are not a good approach for producing directional solidification in the casting.
Go back and select another approach.
