← TechnologyWhich microstructural defect directly results from eutectic casting's undercooling?
A)Dendrite arm spacing variations✓
B)Increased grain boundary segregation
C)Micro-porosity formation initially
D)Ferrite phase transformation failure
💡 Explanation
Dendrite arm spacing varies during undercooling in eutectic casting because non-equilibrium solidification advances at fluctuating rates, leading to uneven solute distribution therefore varying arm spacings develop, rather than uniform phases transformations/boundaries/porosity during proper cooling.
