Which consequence results when insufficient tundish superheat causes incomplete metal flow from the tundish during continuous casting?

A)Formation of 'cold laps' defect
B)Increased alloy homogeneity occurs
C)Decreased centerline macrosegregation results
D)Enhanced dendritic arm spacing forms

💡 Explanation

A 'cold lap' forms because the solidification front advances too rapidly due to heat extraction dominating the cooling rate, resulting in incomplete fusion along seams; therefore, surface defects occur, rather than improved homogeneity under ideal conditions or microstructure alteration.
