The flow is a property of a Alliage intended for the Fonderie defines as being the aptitude of alloy to fill a correctly impressed.

Test of flow

The physical phenomena many and not easily skeletal are as made one a test of flow under the same conditions as casting of the part to appreciate this property.

One uses a test-tube standardized out of triangular snail of section, the result expresses oneself in length of spiral measured in cm.

In general more the interval of temperature of Solidification $\backslash \; Delta\; \backslash \; Theta$ is important (Difference between the temperature of liquidus and solidus of alloy), less good is the flow.
