Which outcome occurs during investment casting of turbine blades when environmental humidity spikes during shell drying?

A)Ceramic shell cracking occurs rapidly
B)Alloy segregation becomes more prevalent
C)Gating system freezes prematurely now
D)Pattern wax melting temperature decreases

💡 Explanation

Ceramic shell cracking from excessive moisture happens because moisture weakens bonds via increased capillary action during rapid evaporation weakening its load bearing ability; therefore cracking risk increases rather than alternatives like alloy segregation, which are material-related.
