← TechnologyWhich risk increases when casting large-diameter aluminum alloy impellers using expendable patterns?
A)Increased hydrogen gas porosity✓
B)Elevated oxidation during melting
C)Decreased mold permeability rates
D)Reduced investment casting stability
💡 Explanation
Increased hydrogen content in molten aluminum results in hydrogen gas porosity after solidification due to reduced hydrogen solubility; therefore, porosity rises, rather than oxidation, because high pouring temperatures increase hydrogen absorption, not necessarily oxygen.
