← TechnologyWhich consequence results when latent heat extraction weakens a casting mold?
A)Porosity increases throughout the casting✓
B)Solidification accelerates along the surface
C)Dendritic growth orientation becomes isotropic
D)Casting alloy composition becomes homogenous
💡 Explanation
Increased hydrogen solubility promotes porosity during solidification because hydrogen atoms, unable to dissolve in the solid phase, form bubbles via heterogeneous nucleation. Therefore, porosity rises rather than surface solidification, because rapid surface cooling reduces overall defects, not induces them.
