Which inherent risk increases significantly when large ferrous castings cool unevenly?

💡 Explanation

Residual stresses from uneven cooling induce plastic deformation because the coefficient of thermal expansion disparities create internal constraints activating differential solidification, which results in concentrated locales of tension/compression; therefore, tensile strength may diminish rather than improve material behavior.
