Abstract
The effect of pressure on solidification structure formation in metal castings has been reviewed and explicitly expressed by thermodynamic relationships. In particular, pressure effects on phase diagrams, nucleation and growth, interfacial energy and diffusion coefficient are considered and analysed. Well known formulae and some new explicit relations are presented and discussed. Practical manifestations of the effect of pressure in casting structure formation are discussed.
