Abstract
The mold-filling behavior in the casting of aluminum alloy (A413) using lost foam
casting (LFC) was explored. The effects of gate numbers, type of gating and casting thickness on
the filling behavior were evaluated. Although, unlike convectional casting process, the gating
system showed little effect on filling ability, casting thickness created a greater effect on the mold
filling. In contrast with convectional casting process, the mold filling seems to be controlled by
casting geometry as a consequence of combined influence of heat and mass transfer. The melt used
to enter from the first gate instead of last gate which is in contrast with convectional casting
process
