The present paper examines the mass effect of different forms of castings with the same modulus values using round, square and triangular bar castings. It became clear that the mechanical strength differed even with the same castings modulus according to the shape of the gray cast iron. The value became lower in order of round, square and triangular bar castings. On the assumption that the cooling rate in castings depends on the ratio of the surface area (s) to the volume (v) of the castings and the mechanical strength of gray cast irons is closely related with the cooling rate [1/(v/s)], the following expression was obtained for the tensile strength.
σB=K(1/(v/s)]
n, where K and n are experimental constants. A well corresponding equation to the strength of round, square and triangular bar castings was introduced as follows :
For round bar casting,
σB=K[1/(v/s)]
2.0, where K is 3,000kg/mm in FC 30, 2,600kg/mm in FC 25, 2,000kg/mm in FC 20.
For square bar casting,
σB=K[1/(v/s)]
2.3, where K is 6,000kg/mm in FC 30, 4,900kg/mm in FC 25, 3,700kg/mm in FC 20.
For triangular bar casting,
σB=K[1/(v/s)]
2.5, where K is 9,000kg/mm in FC 30, 7,400kg/mm in FC 25, 5,500kg/mm in FC 20.
