← TechnologyWhich consequence results when aluminum casting chills are incorrectly placed?
A)Porosity increases in thick sections✓
B)Microstructure becomes excessively coarse
C)Alloy concentration becomes more uniform
D)Dendritic growth is fully suppressed
💡 Explanation
Improper chill placement alters the solidification rate unevenly because localized rapid cooling introduces significant thermal gradients creating increased gas solubility, causing porosity formation rather than uniform or suppressed microstructures. Therefore, porosity near thick sections increases.
