← TechnologyWhich dimensional inaccuracy arises when casting turbine blades using investment casting?
A)Warpage due to thermal gradients✓
B)Porosity from dissolved gas release
C)Cold shuts within thin sections
D)Inclusions decreasing material strength
💡 Explanation
Warpage occurs because differential cooling rates during solidification induce uneven contraction, and therefore thermal stresses. Investment casting yields blades where dimensional stability is sensitive to these gradients rather than internal defects prevalent in other casting methods.
