History

Which risk becomes more prominent during bronze casting when the crucible overheats?

A)Dendritic crystal formation accelerates rapidly
B)Gas porosity increases significantly and quickly
C)Alloy segregation diminishes noticeably
D)Crucible thermal expansion is minimized

💡 Explanation

Severe overheating increases the metal's solubility for dissolved gases, activating the gas diffusion mechanism; therefore, gas porosity increases, leading to weaker castings, rather than the dendritic growth or minimized crucible expansion, which are influenced by cooling rates instead.
