High-pressure die casting is a manufacturing process in which near-net-shape components are produced rapidly under a pressurized environment. However, due to the relatively higher cooling rate prevailing during the process, isolated liquid pockets form at certain locations, leading to increased porosity formation. A one-dimensional deformable grid numerical model has been developed for predicting the evolution of a single pore in an elementary volume, which combines the diffusion model with the shrinkage affected growth. The model accounts for the change in pore size due to shrinkage and inter-granular growth. This model can provide predictions in representative volumes and be used for component level predictions by combining with a macroscopic model
