Adding chill blocks/heatsinks for Aluminium casting
I have some thick sections in my casting that are shrinking a lot so I would like to add chill blocks to solidify that section quicker.
Does anyone have any resource on best practice or could advise on a 'rule of thumb' for sizing?
Im guessing the goal of the chill block is to solidify the large section at the same time as the thinner section. If I over sized the chill block could that cause problems?
