← TechnologyWhich shrinkage risk escalates when casting large aluminum engine blocks?
A)Hot tearing alongside internal risers✓
B)Porosity decreasing material tensile strength
C)Galling increasing surface friction
D)Warping reducing critical dimensions
💡 Explanation
Hot tearing increases due to inhibited thermal contraction via the columnar solidification caused by the constrained cooling. This is a form of thermal stress relief around internal risers. Therefore, localized cracking occurs earlier rather than uniform shrinkage.
