The casting structure is formed of an aggregate of grains or polyhedral crystallites which produce isotropy compensation, while in a solid metal they are anisotropic.
In order to do this, we have to bring on stage specific assumptions of isotropy and homogeneity: A body is assumed isotropic in the sense that it has normal and shear components of stress on any plane through a point of that solid, and homogeneous in the sense that this situation is valid for any point of the solid.
The results consistent across all models suggested that the assumption of spatial isotropy better characterized the residual variation.
