Solidification Time Calculator
Estimate casting solidification time using the Chvorinov relation and a user-calibrated mold constant.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Enter values in the displayed SI units.
- Review the assumptions and formula.
- Calculate locally; verify all design values independently.
Formula and limits
t=B(V/A)²; user supplies B for the material/mold/process and V/A cooling modulus. It is an empirical estimate, not a foundry qualification. This is a simplified estimate and does not validate component ratings, safety, or process quality.

GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
Does this validate a design or casting process?
No. It evaluates the stated model only.
