Which risk increases when investment casting is performed without adequate degasification?

A)Elevated levels of porosity diminish strength
B)Increased risk of intermetallic cracking forms
C)Decreased fluidity affecting mold filling
D)Accelerated oxidation accelerating core breakdown

💡 Explanation

Increased porosity diminishes strength, because dissolved gasses become trapped within the solidifying metal during the solidification step through the gas solubility mechanism. Therefore, porosity negatively affects mechanical properties, rather than other metallurgical defects or fluid properties that degasification does not directly address.
