The results showed that the good agreement was obtained between the numerical simulation and the experiments. Based on the numerical simulation results, the characteristics of tem- perature distribution in the castings during CIESC solidification process were analyzed and summarized. According to the G/R1/2 method and numerical simulation results, there is no any shrinkage defect in the CIESE casting and structure of casting is fine and compact.展开更多
