In this study, two methods were employed to measure the heat transfer coefficient, h, at the metal-mould interface during casting. The first method is to measure the size of gap formed between metal and mould during the casting process and estimate the value, h, based on the gap size. The second method is to measure temperature at certain locations of metal and mould, and by using reverse method, h, at the gap, can be derived. A procedure is also developed to make use of temperature measurement data to obtain the h as the function of casting temperature near the interference. This form of h data is very useful for mathematical modeling of solidification for casting. In the present study, the casting material is Al-4.5% Cu alloy and the mould material is CO2-Sand. The results of the measurements show that the value of h is not a constant, but varies with time/temperature during casting. With the gap size measurement, h is very large in the beginning and keeps dropping afterwards. As the gap is fully developed, h approaches a constant value between 130 and 40W/(m0-2C). By the inverse method, along with the temperature measurement, the value of h increase in the beginning stage and reaches a peak value of approximately 710W/(m0-2C), then h drops rapidly approximately to solidification temperature and rises again until the end of solidification. After that, h keeps dropping until the end of casting.
