Summary

Processes taking place in a solidifying and cooling-down casting - definition of the physical magnitudes and terms - characteristics of heat-flow rates in a casting - transfer of heat in a solidifying casting and in a sand mould - determination of the time intervals of solidification of castings - modelling of thermal processes at solidification and cooling-down of castings - solidification of castings in metallic moulds, origination of gap between casting and mould - shrinkage of metals and alloys - directional solidification - theoretical and experimental analysis of risering - elimination of the thermal nodal sites in castings - filtering of melt through a double-phase zone - segregation and liquation - cooling-down intervals of castings - shrinkage of castings - stress in a casting - consequences of stress in the castings.
