An apparatus (100) for analysis of metals is provided, comprising a mold cavity (102) for receiving a sample of a molten metal, a gating system (104) for allowing the molten metal to be poured, and a vent (106) for allowing gases to escape from the apparatus when the molten metal is poured. The apparatus further comprises at least one chill plate (110), adjacent to the mold cavity (102), for enabling faster cooling and solidification of the sample of the molten metal. The apparatus also comprises a longitudinal slot (108), extending from the mold cavity (102), for allowing a sensor element (109) to be introduced into the sample of the molten metal, the sensor element (109) is a thermocouple wire that is used to monitor a cooling curve of the molten metal, while the molten metal solidifies. |
