← TechnologyWhich mechanism causes porosity within cast aluminum alloy components?
A)Dissolved gas evolution✓
B)Solidification cooling rate
C)Insufficient mold preheating
D)Turbulent metal inclusion
💡 Explanation
Dissolved gasses are less soluble as molten aluminum cools due to decreased kinetic energy. This promotes nucleation via heterogenous seeding, therefore leading to pore formation, rather than other factors creating inclusions or changing alloy microstructure.
