Abstract
It is shown that gas pores can facilitate formation of shrinkage porosity in high-pressure die-castings. Air in the gas pores is an efficient heat-insulating medium that retards heat transfer in the melt as compared to regions without porosity, leading to lower local solidification rate, which can induce shrinkage porosity formation.
