Some usuful figures from this book

Figure 1.5 – Dependence of dendrite arm spacing
on the solidification rate in DC casting

Solidification shrinkage of aluminum alloys amounts to 6–8 vol.%.

(Maney Publishing)

Figure 5.2 – Schematic representation of external signs of solidification shrinkage and
thermal contraction of an aluminium alloy (a)
