    Shrinkage in Large ductile iron casting

    Actually I was thinking of the same thing. That way solidification may be somewhat directional. It may be hard to keep the mold together though as it is impossible to move the parting line. So I am not sure.. probably I d need to strap it. I also thought of using a copper pipe inside the core...
