1.0 Calculations 1.1 Sizing of component (including Shrinkage allowance) When cooling from molten state‚ all metals decrease in volume. When cold‚ casting will be smaller than their pattern. In order for parts to be of correct size‚ patterns are made larger to allow shrinkage. The extra size is called Shrinkage Allowance. Different metals have different Shrinkage Allowances. For the purpose of our project‚ we have been using Brass having shrinkage allowance of 1.5%. Length Nominal
