Which defect risk increases when casting nickel-aluminum bronze propellers without considering TTT diagrams?

A)Hot tearing throughout the alloy
B)Microsegregation at grain boundaries
C)Increased overall surface roughness
D)Elevated silica inclusion formation

💡 Explanation

Hot tearing risks increase in casting because differential cooling stresses cause aluminum’s rapid contraction, and without time-temperature-transformation (TTT) diagram analysis, the alloy strength can be insufficient to resist rupture. Therefore hot tearing is most likely, rather than segregation issues or roughness that is controlled using different methods.
