    Thermal expainsion calculation for 2pc casting mold

    Please someone get back to me on how the thermal expansion of pure silver + thermal expansion of 253MA stainless steel would be calculated, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thermal expainsion calculation for 2pc casting mold

    @mintJulep, Yes I see that, what happens is during the molten phase the blob of silver is actually touching the top flat surface and as it cools it shrinks down so much, all that's needed is for the silver blob to touch the flat surface whilst molten, it will harden quickly as soon as the temp...

    Thermal expainsion calculation for 2pc casting mold

    Here is my theory in action, I just need to know what the algorithm is, someone please teach me, I'm confused by the responses. When the silver is molten it is expanded within the cavity and the mold itself expands, what I need to know is by how much is that expansion so I could make the cavity...

    Thermal expainsion calculation for 2pc casting mold

    Hello all, This is my very first post here! glad to have found this place. I'm hoping you guys can help me with something, I'm trying to design a mold made from 253MA stainless steel for casting pure silver, but I want to make this a 2 piece mold with a top and calculate thermal expansion of...
