Series: ASM Handbook
Volume: 1A
Publisher: ASM International
Published: 31 August 2017
DOI: 10.31399/asm.hb.v01a.a0006330
EISBN: 978-1-62708-179-5
Abstract
Solidification of cast iron alloys brings about volumetric changes. This article describes direct measurements of volume changes with an illustration of the analysis of volumetric changes during solidification of cast iron with the use of a specially designed riser combined with a furnace. It provides a discussion on the dilatometer analysis that is generally used to measure linear displacement as a function of temperature for all types of materials, and the problems associated with volume-change measurements. The article presents a graphical representation of a consequence of the anisotropy, where the calculated volume change is illustrated as a function of temperature. It concludes with a review of kinetic of graphite expansion.
Book: Casting
Series: ASM Handbook
Volume: 15
Publisher: ASM International
Published: 01 December 2008

Abstract
Casting offers a great amount of component design flexibility. This article discusses six casting design parameters that drive the geometry of casting design from a process standpoint. It provides information on the design of junctions and addresses considerations of secondary operations in design. The article describes the factors that control casting tolerances and presents specific tips for designing castings with uniform wall thickness, unequal sections, thin sections, economical coring, functional packaging, and core design. The article provides a framework for analyzing all manners of manufacturing as possible conversion candidates for casting. It concludes with a discussion on different metalcasting design projects.
