← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs during investment casting of turbine blades when environmental humidity spikes during shell drying?
A)Ceramic shell cracking occurs rapidly✓
B)Alloy segregation becomes more prevalent
C)Gating system freezes prematurely now
D)Pattern wax melting temperature decreases
💡 Explanation
Ceramic shell cracking from excessive moisture happens because moisture weakens bonds via increased capillary action during rapid evaporation weakening its load bearing ability; therefore cracking risk increases rather than alternatives like alloy segregation, which are material-related.
