Which risk increases when steel casting molds crack due to internal stresses?

💡 Explanation

Dimensional tolerance loss can occur due to mold distortion via ductile/brittle fracture; because the steel cools and solidifies within the deformed mold, producing out-of-spec parts, rather than accurate ones. It doesn't directly affect grain size; therefore dimensional integrity is the predominant risk.
