A critical
area in the plate is the end bar on the foot of the casting. Two approaches were considered for controlling solidification in the
foot:
- Approach A -- One riser at the head
of the casting with a chill block on the foot.
- Approach B -- Two risers -- one at
the head and one at the foot of the casting.
Choose the Approach
(Approach A or B)
which will be more effective in reducing shrinkage in the foot of the casting. |
