Which defect increases when core shift occurs during investment casting?

A)Wall thickness variation exceeding tolerances
B)Elevated graphite nodule count, decreased strength
C)Increased hydrogen population, metal distortion
D)Formation of primary carbide precipitates (dendrites)

💡 Explanation

Wall thickness variation increases due to inaccurate positioning via the coring stage, because core shift alters molten metal deposition during solidification impacting dimensional control. It is therefore a dimensional tolerance failure, rather than a metallurgical or chemical deviation.
