You are certain to find that the first “dribbles” of metal entering the cavity will end up as an “inclusion” in the casting. In all situations it is important to prevent the metal from free-falling.

The window on the left shows the temperature profile during the pour. Top of the scale is 1600F, bottom of the scale is 1500F.

The window on the top right shows the liquid fraction – liquid metal in the mold.

The window on the bottom right shows shrinkage porosity.

Note: this design is iteration one and the precise balance is easily adjustable for the final production design. The pouring basin and feeder designs are not shown in this video. This simulation was performed at Alloy Casting Industries in New Hamburg, Ontario Canada.
