Shrinkage values for different metal + Bismuth - Negligible + White metal (Tin) - 5 mm/m + Cast Iron - 10 mm/m + Aluminum - 13 mm/m + Brass - 15 mm/m * Copper - 17 mm/m + Steel - 20 mm/m + Zinc ~ 24 mm/m + Lead- 26 mm/m ©; Additional Information Machining Allowance: - The extra dimension provided on the casting and it will be removed by machining after the casting has been completed is called Machining Allowance. rake or Machining lowance Taper Allowance: - Making the vertical surfaces of the pattern into inclined surfaces for the easy removal of the pattern is called Taper or Draft Allowance. Tearing Rubbing Increasing clearance ; Sometimes castings get distorted, during solidification, due to their typical shape. For example, if the casting has the form of the letter U, V, T, or L etc. it will tend to contract at the closed end causing the vertical legs to look slightly inclined. This can be prevented by making the legs of the U, V, T.or L shaped pattern converge slightly (inward) so that the casting after distortion will have its sides vertical.Required shape Distorted ees of casting casting
