← TechnologyWhat consequence results when solidification shrinkage in investment casting restricts the gating system?
A)Increased porosity in the casting✓
B)Improved surface finish locally
C)Enhanced directional grain growth
D)Reduced heat transfer coefficient
💡 Explanation
Increased porosity arises because volumetric contraction during solidification leads to voids, due to obstructed feeding of molten metal affected by the _directional solidification_ mechanism; therefore porosity increases rather than decreases, because gating blockage inhibits complete filling of the cavity.
