Abstract
We propose a method for simultaneous treatment of heat and mass transfer pr ocesses and porosity formation of castings produced by Counter Pressure Cas ting (CPC) method. The method enables us to account for the influence of th e CPC parameters on the mechanical properties of the casting. Numerical res ults and comparison with experimental data are given for an axis-symmetric casting (hemisphere with constant wall thickness). (C) 2000 Elsevier Scienc e Ltd, All rights reserved.
