Which material property degradation is accelerated when porosity increases sharply in investment casting?

💡 Explanation

Fatigue crack propagation accelerates with increasing porosity, due to stress concentration at pore sites by the Griffith Crack Theory causing crack initiation and growth. Fracture toughness decreases, therefore premature fatigue failure occurs rather than improved creep or corrosion.
