In copper casting, predicting solidification patterns helps reduce shrinkage and porosity before the metal enters the mold. By inputting the thermal conductivity and latent heat of the copper alloy, along with mold boundary conditions, solidification patterns can be predicted to identify hot spots and areas of high shrinkage.
