← TechnologyWhich consequence results when permeability limits exist in investment casting?
A)Increased internal gas porosity✓
B)Alloy compositional segregation
C)Formation of shrinkage cavities
D)Elevated levels of surface oxidation
💡 Explanation
Internal investment casting requires gas escape, or permeability, to function; the shell may crack from pressure. The mechanism limiting it is Darcy's Law because gas pressure differentials build excessively. These pressure differentials create porosity rather than segregation, therefore the answer is increased internal gas porosity.
