Densities from room temperature up to 1650 degrees C of pure iron and
ferroalloys containing Cr, P and Ti were measured by a sessile drop me
thod. Based on the results, effects of Cr, P and Ti on solidification
shrinkage were made clear. Accuracy of the present results was evaluat
ed compared with previous studies. Change in shrinkage during solidifi
cation due to microsegregation was also discussed.
