In the investment casting of turbine blades for jet engines, which outcome indicates incomplete shell dewaxing?

A)Surface finish degradation results
B)Shrinkage porosity significantly increases
C)Crystalline structure becomes finer
D)Creep resistance is compromised

💡 Explanation

Incomplete shell dewaxing interferes with proper molten metal flow, because residual wax creates backpressure and uneven mold filling. This causes surface finish degradation rather than improved crystalline structure; therefore, smoothness decreases because of irregularities, rather than porosity changes at solidification.
