Abstract

Directional heat transfer was investigated by temperature measurements in the casting and in the mould using thermocouples. Measurements were performed in operating conditions during pouring, solidification, and cooling of the casting. Total measurement time was 35,5 hours. After cutting, specimens were extracted for metallographic and hardness testing. Test results provided confirmation of directional heat transfer (directional cooling) that would ensure acquirement of a desired casting structure and mechanical properties.
