The progression of the solidification wave front in V-section and finned casting was studied by use of the pour-out test, employed with high. Purity aluminum. The results obtained were as follows; a) The shape of solidification wave front at the inside and outside corners did not change according to solidification time, but it changes according to the corner angles at a given molding and melting condition. b) The cooling fin effect could be repserented as functions of solidification time and fin size, and this result could be applied to enhance the accuracy of the section modulus method in the design of T and V section.
