← TechnologyWhich failure in sand casting causes surface oxidation?
A)Metal coagulation exceeding pouring rate
B)Sand-air gaps during core baking
C)Insufficient venting during initial cooling✓
D)Excessive binder content post-molding.
💡 Explanation
Insufficient venting leads to increased air pockets near molten metal, so the oxidation occurs more readily. The mechanism is the permeable mold failure, because air reacts with the metal rather than promoting inert cooling. Therefore, venting is critical.
