Chvorinov's ruleChvorinov's Rule is a mathematical relationship first expressed by Nicolas Chvorinov in 1940, that relates the solidification time for a simple casting to the volume and surface area of the casting. The relationship can be written as: Additional recommended knowledgeWhere t is the solidification time, V is the volume of the casting, A is the surface area of the casting that contacts the mold, n is a constant, and B is the mold constant. The mold constant B depends on the properties of the metal and mold and their initial temperatures. The constant n is usually 2. The rule simply states that under the same conditions, a casting with large surface area and small volume will cool more rapidly than small surface areas and large volumes. The constant n is 2 for insulating molds and 1 for conducting molds.[citation needed] References
