During solidification process the phenomenon of shrinkage cavity is often observed. It has negative impact on the structure and physical properties of the final product. To minimize the negative effect of shrinkage cavity the riser is commonly introduced to the solidifying system. If the riser is properly designed shrinkage cavity rather appears within its volume than in the other parts of the casting. It makes possible to obtain defect-free main part of the casting. Presented work shows the impact of the different shapes of the riser on the localization of the shrinkage cavity. The results are obtained with the use of an original computer program based on the finite element method (FEM). They are presented for three-dimensional case of solidification of three types of the riser. The comparison of the results is discussed in details.
Key words: solidification / riser / shrinkage cavity / finite element method / numerical modelling
