Complex-shaped lamellar graphite iron castings are susceptible to casting defects related to the volume change during solidification. The formations of these recurring defects are caused by the flow of the liquid in the intradendritic area, between the austenite dendrite arms, and in the extradendritic area between the austenite grains. The conditions for the liquid flow, in turn, are determined by the solidification behavior. The present study suggests a new measurement method and a novel calculation algorithm to determine the pressure of the extradendritic liquid during solidification. The method involves a spherical sample suspended in a measurement device, where the temperature and the volume changes are measured during solidification. The calculation algorithm is based on the numerical interpretation of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation where the temperature variation, the volume change and the released latent heat are processed to determine the local pressure of the extradendritic liquid area during solidification.
