Solidification of Pure Metals<br />

•Due to chilling action of mold wall, a thin skin of solid<br />

metal is formed at the interface immediately after<br />

pouring<br />

•Skin thickness increases to form a shell around the<br />

molten metal as solidification progresses<br />

•Rate of freezing depends on heat transfer into mold,<br />

as well as thermal properties of the metal<br />
