- With the thick (1 3/4”) top plate of the pintle socket
oriented up in the mold, it is important to use chills to initiate solidification at the
remote sections of the plate, so that the risers will feed effectively. The drawings to
the right show two options for placing the chills.
- Option A
- Chills over the rib sections between the risers
- Option B
- Chills at the center of the plate sections between the risers
and ribs.
Choose
the chill location
(Option A
or Option B)
which will maximize the riser feed and
produce a sound casting. |
