Notes:
A novel method is introduced to investigate the macro-segregation in 356 Al-Si alloy. Inthis method, a portion of the remaining liquid is extracted during solidification of the alloy from thebottom orifice of a cylindrical sample. Different parts of the sample plus the extracted material arechemically analyzed and a good correlation between the chemical composition and the predictedvalues from binary Al-Si diagram was obtained. Comparing the chemical composition of thedecanted alloy in the cast piece with those of the 356 standard range has shown that even with 15%of the liquid extraction, the composition of the alloy is still within the intended range
