← TechnologyWhich consequence results when shrinkage isn't managed in investment casting?
A)Internal stress✓
B)Increased tool wear
C)Reduced surface finish
D)Increased ductile strength
💡 Explanation
Internal stress develops due to constrained thermal contraction during cooling, which is the volume decrease. Because volume reduction is impeded unevenly by solidifying areas in the mold, therefore internal stress arises, rather than tooling issues or surface issues, which relate more to imperfections.
