Studies on the Solidification and Contraction in Steel Castings - Contraction Stresses

Abstract

This report discusses the fundamental underlying principles of contraction in steel castings. The following subject are considered in detail: 1-Plastic and elastic deformation at elevated temperatures. 2-Stress centralization. 3-The magnitude of contraction stresses at hot tearing temperatures and at room temperatures. 4-Effect of solidification on contraction stresses.
