What is Shrinkage Allowance in Casting about?

Shrinkage allowance is additional material added to a pattern to compensate for the contraction of metal as it cools and solidifies. For carbon steel, the typical shrinkage allowance is 2.0%, meaning a 100 mm final part requires a 102 mm pattern size. Factors such as complex shapes and varying thicknesses may necessitate adjustments to the shrinkage allowance.
