Technology

Which consequence results, when a centrifugal casting mold's rotation significantly slows during pouring?

A)Increased porosity near the surface
B)Elevated surface oxidation scaling
C)Grain boundary carbide precipitation
D)Macrosegregation of alloying elements

💡 Explanation

Macrosegregation occurs because slowing rotation causes heavier, higher-melting-point alloying elements to settle towards cooler mold regions during solidification. Therefore, compositional inhomogeneity is promoted rather than uniform distribution, because centrifugal forces inadequately counteract gravitational settling.
